He's getting nearly a half million a year. I think he'll find a place.

It's the only way to attract talent. Many arguments are: "just get European rail heads to come and fix it since the trains are so great there.". We can't afford them. Their salaries are higher. Pay trash and get trash. This seems like a good middle ground of getting an experienced rail manager with direct experience of turning a system around. He's still fucked here, but it's a start.

I'm not particularly concerned about his salary, especially if he can deliver.

I wouldn't expect to get a miracle worker on 60k a year.

Yeah, same here. If he can at least get things going the right way, that's helpful.
