Yes- I am aware. Perhaps I should have said it was too bad he couldn't stop the air? Either way- it's still too bad.

So my offer was to be suspended for six months and have to re qualify, or go to panel

Sounds better than being fired.

Wait suspended for 6 months as in not working.
Or
Not driving and have to re-qualify after 6 months.
Because a 6 month suspension sounds pretty extreme to me. Yes what you did was stupid but I've yet to hear someone take a 6 month suspension unless it was time served.

Ok that's what I thought. Then you're not suspended. You just were disqualified and have to wait the contractual time limit to re-qualify.

So the question is, take that offer or go to panel?
Take the offer. Always take your job back if they offer it, you've got the rest of your career to make up for 6 months of lost driving wages.
If you go to panel and lose that's it, you're done.

My guess is you won't automatically have another shot in 6 months. Just that you will be excluded from trying for 6 months.
I have seen similar.
One driver basically was never going to qualify with the manager he pissed off.
He waited for a new center manager to take over and then qualified.

Absolutely you take the offer. @Jones is spot on with his post.
You also need to be do things 100% by the book. Not only at work but off the clock as well. If you goof just once prior to attempting to qualifying again, I can with a fair degree of certainty tell you that you won’t make it. You need to act like you’re on probation.
Good luck

Should I retain my seniority? Or is it lost too?

If you're talking center seniority that I'd say its lots because you were disqualified
