I practically fell out of bed this AM when hearing this WBBM 780 report:

Can anyone fathom discipline of dismissal assessed being overturned on appeal when there has been a passenger fatality????
If the appellant was unable to refute carrier testimony at the hearing that the signals were properly working, then how can he refute such on appeal?
I would think that passenger fatalities would be sufficient to ensure that no party on or off the property would reduce discipline on a leniency basis...but then, I was never an arbitrator in this life
