But Mark didn't say it did. He only informed us of what had happened over
there and that *MAYBE* the unions/drivers here could use that in court to
support there arguement.

Look at the drivers on the XPT's to Mlb, I have traveled with them on two
occasions this year and they are glad to have someone to talk to. after 5.5

The engine hum does make you want to sleep.
