Greetings Trainmen,
Here's my question: Back in 2007 a group of us were training to be engineers in Nebraska, we had already passed schooling but now it was OJT. Unfortunately we never finished our training, we had run in's with management and ended up in arbitration for things like blowing the horn to long, to soon or not long enough. Simple things but yet we still had arbitration. To make a long story short, all of us lost our jobs, the arbitrator sided with BNSF.
Lets zoom to right now, January 2017, does anyone think that after all these years, would BNSF blackball me or have things changed enough that my record wouldn't show derogatory actions if there were any recorded? I'm trying to get on with Amtrak now as a Engineer trainee. I already have class1 experience as a switch man/brakeman and conductor from 2 class1 RR's in my past.
So what do ya think folks, would anything bad come up from BNSF when they check on me for employment?
Thanks a bunch and be safe out there.
