My head just exploded. Virtually none of this is rooted in reality.
Really?
When was the last time you saw a train conductor rise via Amtrak's attendant ranks?
When was the last time you saw an engineer/driver rise to cook or sleeper attendant?
The fact5s remain these crew members belong to different unions and therefore are trained differently?
One crew type interacttions with passengers in entirely different ways than the other.
Would you rather have an engineer and conductor following the operations rules of handling the train perfectly, or one with emphasis having a sweet smile on their face the entire time pleasing customers first?
I would definitely prefer the former rather than the latter and live to give a nasty review of their poor customer service than die!
