I quickly tried to submit a VTO worksheet and it wouldn't even let me open the link.
Wow. That's a serious hose job. Good information for anyone with an R-line and days off they want to actually have off to keep in their hip pocket.
I can't see why anyone wouldn't volunteer for a conversion if they are counting on their days off as scheduled.
