Not all system picks are the same.       Here in SF we maintain our 
System Snority wherever we go but in Portland one who transfers goes to 
the bottom of the list for that division / barn  --  unless they changed 
that since 1977.       (I was hired to start work in Portland in the 
late 1970s but had to decline.)       I am #02 in my Division but about 
#14 for the system of 2,200 operators // drivers  (I'll know better when 
the system wide pick comes up, soon I would imagine.)      I would 
probably have several above me in lrv division as that is a very high 
snority barn but my picks would still be good, Relatively Speaking~!~!~!

Do you ride Shaker much?       They have Bredas?     What do you 
think?     Why?

Triskett has all "good" routes whereas Harvard Avenue has about two-thirds Eastside routes and one-third Westside routes. Like I always tell everyone (tongue in cheek, of course)........"they can kill you just as easy on the 55X-Clifton Blvd Express as they can on the 14-Kinsman Road Local.\
