Regardless of your experience onboard the Rocky Mountaineer, one should be aware of the fact that the company has locked out over 100 dedicated onboard attendants.
RM has boasted that they are a 200 million dollar company but refuses to give it's employees a reasonable wage increase after 3 years at the same pay rate.
