Coworker left the fedgov to drive trains for metro. It was a once in a lifetime public opening for metrorail operators and he took it. I guess driving a train is less stressful than dealing with production quotas, quality reviews and patent attorneys.

I thought about doing the same thing a while back. It was mid-80s when I looked it up, certainly more now.

He just started recently. Starting out at 55k according to him. The metro pension is where he will really win out when compared to FERS.
