I don't know exactly what CSX pays, but for a conductor trainee i'ts probably around $32,000 yr. base. To be a conductor, you have to go to a six week training school, then get a bunch of on the job training. (16 weeks if I remember correctly).
AT&T will combine its 5.7 million U-verse TV customers with DirecTV's roughly 20.3 million US subscribers. All of a sudden you're talking about the number-two pay-TV provider in the country, says Dan Rayburn, an analyst with Frost & Sullivan.
DirecTV U.S. ended 2013 with 20.25 million subscribers, an increase of 0.8% compared with 20.08 million subscribers in 2012. The company attributed that minimal growth rate to its focus on âhigher-quality subscribers, as well as a more challenging competitive environment and mature industry.â. The 93,000 U.S. net adds for the fourth quarter were down from 103,000 a year earlier, although churn declined slightly (from 1.41% to 1.43%). DirecTV beat analyst consensus expectations of 74,000 U.S. subscriber adds.
