Anyone of those guys and gals at his level could have walked away from hunter and the psr nonsense and gone somewhere else. With what they had made over the years they would have never missed a house or car payment. Perhaps no more biz jet or first class air travel and only 4 star instead of 5 star hotels and meals. They deserve as much respect as they gave their employees. When alive they got the only respect they wanted and that was from Wall St. Let Wall St. cry.

Date: 04/19/24 11:23 Re: Jim Foote of CN, CSX and PSR, dies. Author: callum_out That's right and labor does nothing but contribute to costs and as I keep saying if they'd quit running
those damn trains the OR could ge greatly reduced. As to Mr, Foote, still looking for something nice to say other than maybe "a man who rose to the top, showing remarkable ability to make the Peter Principle come true".

They don't use their name on any post. It's called a username. You obviously don't work for the railroad or you'd probably understand why. Date: 04/21/24 14:32 Re: Jim Foote of CN, CSX and PSR, dies.
