oh but they "need" an 18% payrise

Good thing I have the pre-requisites to become one (year 10) according to metro site

Seriously though at what point do you just take up a boring as batshit job purely on the basis of being hugely overpaid? lol

theres plenty of those people going around. and theyre usually dumb as dog shit and dont get any further in a career. what would your train driving ambitions be? pilot the Ghan? do the Geelong goods train run? save up all your pennys and make a model train set? walk around the streets in your old age pestering people about your years as a train driver? subscribe to those awful train magazines as well.

even if you made it to FIFO status, you spend heaps of time away from home. getting by ordering crap online to make you happy when you are at home. your missurs will want an endless stream of pets to provide affection for when you are gone.

I thought about it when I was a chef.... it was literally the most opposite job I could think of.

The test is just ridiculous... waaaaaaay above and beyond what is required of a train driver

Sure is, have had friends apply. It's BS for what they end up doing. Not like it's rocket science but the way they test... Wtf?!

Haha that's it, I'd still rather work my way up and beyond in an industry I actually have an interest in.

FIFO I get, that's a big sacrifice and compensated by big money. Train drivers are deffs overpaid.

This is so nihilistic and edgy

I'll miss you Leroy, but I just can't share your bleak world view

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
