[QUOTE]Originally posted by Railroad Bob: [QB] Smitty, your math is pretty accurate for the regular assignment engineers. The extra Board men/women can go above those numbers, as long as they observe the Fed HOS regulations, of course. Now to OBS- remember they are moving round the clock even when they sleep (except for stops of course) while the engineer is home on the mandatory rest period. Since Hours of Service rules don't apply to the OBS employees, these workers generally will amass more miles than the T/E crews. Let's look at one simple calculation for a regularly assigned #4/3 OBS crew member (works 6 on- 5 off.) 4400 mi. RT LAX-CHI in 11 days. In 33 days that adds up to 13,200 miles. Figure that number times 11.06 = 145,992 miles in a year. Extra Board OBS employees can blow that number out of the water, as they can "double or triple out" if they are needed, and/or want to. So OBS employees rail miles in a long career can go into the millions. I'd say a 25 year OBS worker who stayed on the job (did not mark off a lot) might amass something like 3 million fairly easily in his/her RR career. 145,992 X 20 = 2,919,840. Mark offs, sickness, forced "time on the ground" are variables, of course. But how 'bout those Flight Attendants miles? Have no idea on that one... [/QB][/QUOTE]
