[QUOTE]Originally posted by Hoop: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: The reasoning would be "you are doing so much better at the farebox nowadays, you don't need as much from us". [/QUOTE]Actually, I think I prefer this method of thinking. Time to hold Amtrak accountable for making their own money and surviving on themsleves and their own business practices. Throwing money at a problem doesn't seem to solve things. If Amtrak wants to survive and keep their high paid managers and employees on the payroll, perhaps it's time to make 'em do so on their own. Begin to be sales focused on selling the trips and the train experience, and provide excellent travel experiences to foster retention and attract those high priced sleeper accommodations. Fire all those lazy maintenance workers we hear about sleeping on the job when they should be fixing equipment, etc. Fire all the unsuitable OBS who have bad attitudes. In essence, turn the system around to be a "sales focused" approach to attract riders, with good equipment, good service, etc, and ACCOUNTABLITY on itself to maintain itself and support itself.
