Just currious, i had a friends dad that use to fly for Union Pacific about 8 years ago. I was currious where they are based and what they fly? He only flew for them about 6 months. He went back to his old flying job. Thanks

Yep, They're out in Omaha, everytime we've parked next to UP's hangar, I've always seen only a 800XP, and Challenger type over the years...
 
Anyone have info what its like working for UP? They put out a job post today for a Captain. Any word on types of A/C do they have a G-V? PM if you would like.

Thanks

Railroad...

Maybe not the UP, but have you seen the livery of NS?

I'm a railroader by heart...if there are any of you guys out there?!?!

One of my former employers purchased a LR-35 and I was always tickled to fly "NW" due to my previous endeavors......

And, in case you are wondering....I can talk the railroad talk w/ ANY of you!!!
 
I cant talk much RR unless its 0 or H guage.

However i wish i could find a way to be a conductor/engineer/brake man. That would be a sweet job.

bob,
If you're interested, Strassburg Railroad in PA had an apprenticeship program for people interested in working their live steam road. I almost did it in 86. You start as a fireman and work up to engineer.
I've heard that Norfolk and Southern is difficult to work for. There are several adds in the local paper for conductors for N&S.
