Leave T&E for FRA gig?
I've got 10 years at a class 1, can hold as an engineer but my drive is almost two hours to work right now. Recently started a family and all the OT and held away in the hotel is different now.
FRA are looking for "Rail Inspectors" nearby, still over an hour from my home but I'd assume those guys are driving around the state most of the time anyways. Definitely a pay cut on the front end but it looks to be pretty comparable after a few years, and we can afford to take the financial hit currently.
Anyone on here dip out to go to FRA? How many nights per week would they have me away from home? Don't necessarily want to give up my RRB job but I don't want to watch my kids grow up on the phone screen either.
