Hi all,
I've just been offered a Conductor position with CPR pending my back check and medical, which won't be a problem. I've heard all about the lifestyle. CPR sent me the pay scale. I know exactly how much I'll make while training. However, I keep seeing wildly differentiating numbers online about earnings once you are working. I understand there's overtime. Is that time and a half or double time? Basically, for budgetary purposes, I'm looking for a realistic expectation of yearly earnings. I don't want to show up and rent the Taj Mahal if I should be looking for a basement suite.
