Had a guy I was in class with when training for my job that did the same. Could barely read when asked to read aloud. When the final exams were issued, he amazingly was the last one still working on it in an empty classroom save the instructor. He ummm, wasn't allowed to fail. Bad apples get passed thru all the time.

Also, had overslept and was late to work several times.
She's been an operator for 60 days.

Union will save her job.Unless she's still a probie but based on what you posted sounds like she's passed that part already.

The operator falling asleep I think is the least of the problems with this. There's supposed to be some sort of safety settings which will stop or slow a train, and those didn't seem to be working. That's the bigger issue. The driver could have been dead, and that train still should have stopped or slowed down.

But yes, this person should be on the Chas pension plan going forward.

Probably politically connected. Will likely be back driving trains within a year at latest.

commuter light rail should be ideal for implementing drone trains.

Because who else is going to make the garbled, inaudible announcements on the PA?

Honestly, I thought the L trains were automated now.

Under Siege 2 is probably the best bad action movie ever made. So much awesome in it.

So true. I especially liked when Clarence Boddicker congratulated the military lovers that armed the satellite: "Captains, you did a hell of a job today." Fucking buttonpushers! :lol:

Were you driving the train? Can you lose your pension twice?

No because unlike the person who was I would not have admitted to anything even to my union rep like she did.

So, you were fucked up? I knew it.
