Out of curiosity what’s everyone last names who got status being short? My last name begins with a W so maybe that’s why I haven’t received it yet.

I still get notices from Amtrak for OBS positions and they are now offering $12.5k bonuses for new LSAs.

When I was going thru the process my HR liaison after 3 weeks of back and forth with the adjudication board, informed that they were all new. She actually filed a complaint with her boss because of how slow and ridiculous their requirements were towards new hires. In my case a 7 year old DUI was...

Select plus and executive plus get access to the lounge regardless of class of service. Ticket just has to be same day departure or arrival.

Thank you so much! I can’t thank you enough for sharing all this information.

@pennyk , can you also explain how time off works for LSA if you’re traveling 100% while working? As well as PTO? Also how do the travel benefits work? I know it’s a lot to ask, but I’m just trying to get a complete picture of the whole operations and benefits. Thank you!

Thank you!
