but after you're off probation you're protected by your Union and there's a
more generous attendance policy agents can date but like a supervisor an agent
or a manager an agent or manager and a supervisor they cannot date hi welcome
to today's video today I'll be sharing five steps on how not to get fired from
an airline this is coming from six years of experience working for my airline
thank goodness I've never been fired but in six years I have seen a few people
get fired I'm gonna break down the five steps on how to avoid getting fired and
the names and faces of the following people have been changed to protect the
innocent I will tell you a few stories but I'm definitely not going to tell you
where it happened and some of like I don't be incriminating details so the
first step is we will we first need to determine do you work for an airline
that has a union or is like a non-union airline so some airlines are not
protected by unions and then some positions within that airline are also
non-union positions so I'm just going to speak for my airline and most airlines
even though I know they're I can think of like one really big airline that does
not have unions and most of their work groups but I'm going to talk about my
airline so my airline has lots of unions I love my union and I've been part of
been part of a union for six years I have supervisors and managers that I've
interacted with that they are non-union employees so they're not protected by a
union so a lot of these stories out of this whole thing I can only think of a
couple people that have ever been fired that are union employees because
normally what the Union does the union helps to protect you when you're going
through the steps to get fired and then there's also so much set up to protect
you so you won't get fired the first okay the first thing that you need to
worry about is getting off probation so normally each airline is different in
each position is different you'll be on probation for six months or
a year so for my airline I was on probation for six months
so when I first started I was a customer service agent and I was on probation for
six months and then I switched departments and so then I had to go on
probation again so that was another six months and then this last year I became
a flight attendants so I was on probation again so that was a year and a
half that I was on probation out of my six years with my airline a year and a
half of that has been on probation and if you don't know what that looks like
let me tell you how difficult probation can be it just means that you have to
make sure you're not missing work and you're not late to work and that you're
doing your job and you're doing an excellent job you're getting along with
everybody I think the hardest part of being on probation is attendance because
they give you so few my airline gives you like so few opportunities to get
caught in traffic get sick or you know be late for whatever reason so you just
have to be like meticulous about knowing what your schedule is and making sure
you show up for work when you're supposed to every time I've been on
probation I go to work early I just show up 45 minutes early because if you run
into traffic if you get a flat tire gosh there's a million things that could
happen if that happens to you a couple times you're not going to make it off
probation but after you're off probation you're protected by your Union and
there's a more generous attendance policy after your so the first step is
make it off probation the second step is your attendance so I've known of a
couple people who have gotten fired because of attendance so there's no gray
area with attendance it is yours you're gone you miss that's
a point and it just goes like that but you know if you have a doctor's note
that's one thing if you're on FMLA that is a whole other thing but just let's
say a standard attendance issue like by calling out sick that will get you a
point and each work group is different and then each work group they call it
pointing out when you point out that's when you hit the max amount of points
and you're immediately when you show up to work you're immediately walked out
they take your badge and they take you past security and then you're done so
one big way to get fired is attendance I've known a couple people
unfortunately that have gotten fired because of attendance okay the third way
oh this is a good one the third way to get fired working for an airline is to
steal things so okay this story comes to comes to us from one of my friends so
this did not happen to me but it happened to her manager
so her manager stole liquor so and got caught and got fired so when you're a
manager of a station that's a really important and serious job you have a lot
of responsibilities so to get fired for something as simple as stealing is just
really tragic so that's one way to get fired is stealing it could be time theft
which is gosh that can look like a lot of different things it can be theft of
liquor it could be theft of money it could look like oh gosh theft of plane
tickets so there are lots of ways that you know you could be stealing so just
be really careful about stealing so that's one way to get fired the number
four way to get fired from an airline is something that I've never seen
personally but I've heard so much about it because it happens frequently
unfortunately it is a manager or a supervisor having inappropriate
relationships with either other supervisors or managers or agents so I
have heard of multiple times where a manager has gotten fired or supervisor
has gotten fired for having inappropriate work relationships so
that's a very common one I can think of like probably five instances in
different cities that I've heard about where a manager or supervisor was fired
because of that so that's a quick way to get fired agents can date but like a
supervisor an agent or a manager and an agent or manager and a supervisor they
cannot date and I guess you know each airlines different but my airline has a
very strict policy about workplace dating when it comes to you know your
supervisors and managers so the number five way to get fired oh gosh this is
that the number five way is not doing your job something that happened to one
of my old co-worker basically he came to work intoxicated
actually I can think of a couple that is so sad
yeah and she'd have another co-worker I can think of two co-workers of mine that
came to work drunk and I mean you're driving heavy machinery you're dealing
with millions of dollars worth of equipment with these aircrafts it's so
important to come to work sober so I can think this is that I can think of two
people that came to work drunk and one thank goodness there was an accident at
the at the workplace but the other one there was he drove he was like drunk
driving at work gosh I can't even say that I don't even know if I can say that
okay I can't tell the specifics of what happened but basically this agent came
to work drunk nobody knew was driving a vehicle and ran into something and
immediately took a drug test and was let go so doing your job not coming to work
drunk I actually can think of a third person that's that I can think of a
third I can think of a fourth I can think of four people that's so sad oh
and these are all people that I've worked with that I know so those were
the first two another one she came to work drunk and they suspected it and she
had to take a drug test and she was fired and then another one also she came
to work drunk and she had to take a drug test and she was fired so that's four
people that I know of personally that I've worked with in the last six years
that have come to work drunk and that were fired because of being drunk at
work so that means they gosh they drove to work that is four people that I can
think of that came to work drunk which is so sad so that's the fifth tip come
to work and do your job and do what you know you're supposed to do if you avoid
gosh some of those problems you're gonna have a long healthy career in the
aviation industry seriously but those are personal experiences of people I
know that have gotten fired and I was trying to think of other people
no that's it that's all that I can think of and that was the fifth tip on how not
to get fired from an airline this is all coming from personal experience and
stuff that I've seen firsthand if you do work in the aviation industry or you're
planning on getting a job in the a Vav ation industry keep these five tips in
mind because it will save you a lot of time and heartache if you can avoid
