Title: Windows??
Post by: TheKid24 on February 25, 2021, 03:24:59 PM
Anyone hear the driver this morning say OPT was checking mask, how many students and ALL windows must be open? The hell is that crap. I've only been doing my Emergency windows,
Driver window and the two windows in the back that are naturally cracked. We were never instructed to have ALL windows and um do they want us to get sick with It still being cold....

Didn't you get the email yesterday?

"Windows will remain open and with the air system on the bus in the non-recirculating mode during transit."


That's from OPT, not Pioneeer.

And yet they give out violations if the bus is too cold ! You can't make this shit up !! I can't wait to retire !!! It has nothing to do with Pioneer either ! It's the industry and OPT !!

Yes I got the email but do ALL windows need to be open. They didn't specifically say all need to be open. How you supposed to have every window open on a cold day, rain day or if you're at the school early and you can't idle

The one window I have in the middle that doesn't open is it worth bringing to the mechanics after my run one day for them to fix or it's just 1 window Don't worry about it

I would write it up ... and take a picture of the write up slip. Then if you get a violation if it's not fixed, you're in the clear.

And, true ... it's doesn't specify "all." They're purposely ambiguous ... as with everything else ... so they can pin your ass to the wall if they want to.

You got that right!! It's not the job itself. It's all the bullshit that surrounds the job. And OPT wonders why companies don't have enough drivers ...

Ya' gotta laugh, though. Pull up to 24 this afternoon and see a woman inspector standing on the corner. Go to my slot and lower some windows. Kids get on the bus   ... they close the windows!!

Lmaoooo, I could see her going in writing you up and you saying did you not just see what the hell happened.....

Well on a bright note I went back early and got a mechanic to fix my windows and hatches. Now I can have ALL windows open although it's dumb and only some should be open.

According to the sheet they gave out today in the office....you don't need to have ALL windows open.

These are the kinds of questions that you never get answers to ... this way, no matter what you do, you're wrong.

Open them to the first notch. That's approximately 1 inch. Obviously this is only my opinion.

I've been doing every other window opened to the first notch,along with the two overhead hatches.
