With the threat of a MetroNorth strike looming, new MTA Chief Elliot "Scooter" Sander has been going around to many MetroNorth facilities, shaking hands and smiling with union workers.

The very positive response to Chairman Sander's visit with the troops was the reason given for his becoming a correspondent on the highly esteemed "Transit Transit" monthly show. On the February program, he will go on a trip to a factory that makes chocolate Valentine Day hearts.

There are tentative plans for him to join SubChatters on their "Farewell to the R40's Trip" this coming Sunday.

Oh noes! If he runs into the usual suspects on a train, he knows where the breaker panels are and it will be "everybody WALK." :)

I have a good feeling about this guy ... you can get a whole lot more out of your people by glad-handing and DOING something about the situation down there than by a whole ream of DAN's. Maybe he'll REALLY impress the troops by sending Kalikow down for a whiz test. :)

You’re a hoot!

Seriously, I like the idea that Sander is out there talking to the rank and file. If he can get a good sense of what they are thinking without the many layers of filters then he will be doing well.

Paul, Lee Sander is CEO not Chairman.

Peter K. will hold that title until at least the spring.

Not if he fails his whiz test. In the meantime, Sander can go for all stations and see if he can break the record, identify the stalactites and guess that smell. :)
