WillMcAvoyACN That seems a little harsh. Couldn't they just, y'know, lay them off instead? There's no need for dissection of all those innocent staff....
This should juice the markets. More layoffs. Seems to really drive them higher.
This is one news I will cheer. I had a few nightmarish experiences with riding Amtrak and tolerating its rude staff. Sell of this darn thing, yesterday.
