Hi I see FMGL are still hiring loco drivers - just wondering if anyone has been successful? I know a Pacnat driver from SFT who has secured a position with FMGL (someone I know from when I was working out of DELEC in the early 1990's), but that's it so far.
Craig.

Yep I don't think FMGL is doing it's own recruiting - they'd need to hire a whole stack of people just to do that with all the jobs currently open on the FMGL recruitment pages.

I assume that 'Loco Operators' are what us old blokes used to know as 'Drivers'.
On one hand there is a trend to use acronyms to shorten things but concurrently there is a trend to use longer and more complicated (and less descriptive) terms such as in this instance. Another example is that detonators have become 'audible warning devices'.
If you can't fix it - change its name..........

And you know the really frustrating part of all this "technocratically correctness"? People paid tens of thousands of dollars to go to Uni to get a Degree to have the privilege of figuring out new names for things.
I guess they've got to justify their degree and their existence somehow...
