NS hiring session email

He is the response given to a current locomotive engineer (Class 1 carrier) when applying for a Conductor position in Georgia.

slchub how many days advance did u get the email before the accual session

One week. After speaking with some guys on the board privately, I determined that the NS does not have a guarantee board, and my pay would most likely be cut by a 1/3. So I'll have to investigate other options other than working for NS or get a small nest egg saved up to get me through the first 6-8 months.
