3. Terrific healthcare benefits, better than what one normally buys in retirement or on the exchange

Low copays, includes dental and vision.

A very large number of my coworkers were longtime employees, well past retirement age. The work is uncomplex and repetitive, and you're only really busy for three weeks before Christmas. occasional four-day weeks with legal holidays paid and old timers do get a bunch of accumulated vacation time. If you only want to make 900 a month, it's not terrible.

But in my brief time working at the hub and on some trucks, the younger hires have trouble staying off their phones and getting the work done. Not all, but most. The work really cannot be much more optimally automated. Some things require human intervention, at this point.

Not sure how the endgame plays out.
