Just curious if anyone has applied to the CPR for the Winsdor positions they posted couple of weeks ago. The information session is to be held tomorrow, (21st) and I wondering if anyone out there applied and got the call?
What does CP want done on the Windsor Sub?
Conductor Trainees. CP usually has a class of about 12 people. Usually 250 to 500 people apply, about 70 get preselected for an info session of which 30 make it to testing and interviews and from there 12 for the class.
When are they going to build a new tunnel at Windsor? I though McGuinty said that he wanted to redirect the 401 from the Ambassador bridge and head towards the tunnel.
Actually it is kinda a funny story. They proposed building a new CPR tunnel and rebuild the Detroit River tunnel to accommidate truck traffic. A plan was made up and the residents didn’t like where the trucks were going, CP didn’t like where the tunnel was going. Everyone hates the current problem, but they don’t like any of the solutions either.
That figures; bunch of sniviling whiners who want everything for nothing. What is the alternatives that they want?
The truck traffic is bad, I would think because the Ambassador bridge is so old that it would be in their best intrest to build a new bridge. I would put it down further so traffic goes around Windsor, (and **** off someone, LOL). Money, money money…
Oh yah, and by the way, I just found out that CP is only hiring 6 people for the conductor class there. I applied with previous railway experience and they didn’t call me. I contacted them as to why and they told me live too far away!!! I live 55min outside of Windsor. When I worked for them before I had to move 300km to Toronto! Sometime isn’t right here! I think a bunch of Conductor’s/Engineer’s sons are getting in. Oh well, try, try again!
It isn’t like that anymore, they hire the Conductor’s/Engineer’s daughters now too.
CP doesn’t seem to be overly serious in wanting to hire. I guess if you nag them for a job long enough, if they don’t put a restraining order against you, they’ll give you a job to shut you up.
Not only windsor will there be new hires also in Toronto there are classes going on for Conductor trainees ,plus in the next five to ten years there is going to be a huge turn over of employees retiring in toronto .
