Congratulations to the operators who have obtained there
Second Class Steam ticket. There are 68 new Second Class Operators in
Alberta since February 29, 2009.
Ø
It is safe to assume that over the next 5-10 years 800
out of 1873 Second Class Operators will be eligible for retirement.
Ø
800 represents 43% of all valid Second Class Operators
Ø
If you average the number of new Second Class Operators
over the last four years, you see that there have been about 67 new
ones a year.
Ø
This simple reasoning would suggest that the demand for
Second Class Operators will be increasing despite a slowdown in the
economy.
