Noel, I agree with you that if you have one of the best working contracts and pay, which requires you to carry what it is expected of you and you're complaining about it, theres a problem. Where I do disagree is that if you can simplify what you carry, why not? The operation manual binder is quite odd and anyone who finds a way to store their necessary paperwork other than what they issued you more power to you.
How things are done don't even compare with how things once were and we all including yourself have to accept the fact that times change. I think a lot of people don't realize how good they have it currently verses what it used to be like.
I've seen my peers with simplified run books with them and I think that's a great deal since especially for C&T, the run book is enormous. And if you have to make a move quick and are not near a run book, well you have one that's shrunk to size to fit in your bag.
Not to get too OT, but I am very fond with how the timetables are brochure style verses what the Long Island has to lug around with them. Every line in each direction with week day and weekend schedules are 1 folder each respectively. I'm very fond of that.
