Amtrak management's suggestion?This can't possibly be a serious question so I'm assuming you're not looking for a serious answer. Therefore, the answer is obvious. Shut down New Jersey Transit. Then, you won't need crews. ..which means you won't have a crew shortage.
You're welcome.
PS: Assuming you're actually serious, you'd be interested to know the crew shortage is quite overblown.
AKA "Jersey Math"!Just checked the updates.
For today's commute, the planned and announced changes were to add five trains and cancel three.
They have now cancelled an additional three.
So the "extra" getaway service is essentially one train less than there would have normally been.
Maybe. The way it is now, probably right. But Metro North would have the right to run at least their portion of the route, even if it meant no longer running thru service (I know that would kill the business, and not happen).Unions would not permit anything of that sort I am sure. [emoji57]
oh, so now the excuse is a rush to meet the PTC deadline.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/20/nyregion/nj-transit-trains.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur
More bad news for the NJT crowd.
