[QUOTE="brett636, post: 762274, member: 249"] Sorry to hear that. I saw the posting for the new package car drivers and thought you would be signing that for sure. It is true that you can't get back into driving for a year, but given your seniority the wait after that one year period shouldn't be long if you still want to go back to driving. As far as the air driver is concerned, if they are past their 30 days, and I'm certain they probably have since there haven't been any new air drivers taken in for a couple years, they are allowed 3 accidents a year before they can get the boot. Considering your simply seasonal any accident will cause you to be sent back to the hub. Again I'm sorry to hear that happened to you and hope it doesn't spoil your drive to go driving when the opportunity comes back around. Just considering it a lesson learned and look forward to a future driving position. To help better address your questions regarding accidents within your 30 day probationary period any accident during those first 30 days or while holding a seasonal position is treated the same. One accident sends you back to your previously held position. After those 30 days you can still be technically "fired", but every driver I have seen get into an accident usually is back on the job within a week or two. It all depends on the seriousness of the accident, and in some cases how bad management wants you gone. Once you past those 30 days you are in as a driver and the only way out is to quit, retire, or get fired and lose all attempts to grieve the firing. Feel free to PM me any questions you may have as it appears to me we work in the same building. [/QUOTE]
