A decade or more ago, freight trains were doing an excellent job according to railroad management. Running on schedule. When a new CEO took over, he noted the standard was--did it get from point A to point B in the scheduled amount of time? Mostly yes. The question he raised was, did it leave point A when it was supposed to? The answer, mostly no. Many left point A days behind schedule. Elapsed time a big success. Scheduled departure dates and arrival dates a dismal failure. ;-) Bill --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
