Just read an article about this guy actually. He's like a nepo baby for transit lol https://www.washingtonian.com/2024/03/08/a-dc-indie-rock-musician-is-now-ceo-of-amtrak/

Hey, welcome to the "networking" job market, being a nepo baby is a requirement to not work retail. He seems like one of the least offensive nepo babies.

It's a joke. Obviously, I'd much rather have a lifelong train enthusiast that got the bug from his father's work than some spreadsheet warrior as the CEO of Amtrak.

Nice to have a foamer in there for perhaps the first time ever.

Last guy was a former airline exec.
