UP Rail Road??

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

Omaha, NE, I think. I know they had at least one G-V.

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!!!

 

[bobs98tlr]

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.

 

[PolarTwins55]

N gauge all the way.

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.

They have a 800xp soon to turn into 2 challanger 300's, falcon 2000, and a 601. hanger next door to con agra. Seems like a good place to work from what I have been hearing.

 

[mavericks]

Does anybody know quality of life, pay, schedule, etc. Feel free to pm me.

Hi!

My dad said that the UP has about the worst management in the business. The Southern used to be by far the best, so I'd assume that Norfolk-Southern is still very good.
