But aren't most civil servants that work nowadays Fahrdienstleiter at DB Netz?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Article from 2018 says biggest groups are 4200 engine drivers, 3600 traffic controllers and 1700 station service. Of 38000 civil servants 26500 in active duty (i.e not in pension), including 3500 suspended and currently working for more wages as managers.

Numbers certainly changed in six years but I wouldn't expect much drift in the ratios, it's not like engine drivers are on average older than traffic controllers or such.

2007 the DB had 20000 engine drivers, 8000 of which were civil servants. So maybe 3000 left now?
