Governor fired them all. How bout bringing that up!
Media likes to gaslight
Exactly!
Inslee and his mandate...will he apologize? recognize side effects? recognize the lack of planning? Neither safe nor effective if skilled older workers had a choice they left. the others were fired....Inslee is directly to blame
Thank God there's one highly intelligent person here
My mom applied for the ferry job went through all the hoops and loops and even had to get a twic card just to never hear back from them. All that wasted money she spent running around and paying for the required cards she needed to work on the ferries just for them to never call back. If they need people so bad then maybe they should hire the people that meet their requirements that apply for the job.
Their website job listings seem to be for back of the house jobs .. engineers for refitting, and tech workers.. something doesn't add up
Sorry to hear that.
Washington Ferries used to be the biggest and best in the America.
When I was a student at UW in the 70's, I had an internship on Bainbridge Island. I took the ferries many times. It was always a joy to catch a ferry to and from Seattle over to the island. I had a Metro Bus Schedule, Ferry Schedule, and Work Schedule that had to be synchronized. Back then, late or out of service ferries was almost unheard of.
Hope they can turn things around. Both residents and tourists deserve better.
Don't hold your breath darling
@@janncoons7445 Thanks for comment. That was a long time ago. I live in Yakima now. Wasn't even aware of all the problems.
LATER THE Ferries owner said he was getting threats from anti LGBTQ maga extremist saying they hate Ferries!
Have they tried galley salves, should have enough new slaves entered the country to make this viable
Let's shanghai some slaves from Asia !
Guess they better get on the phone to all the employees they let go for NOT getting the vaccination huh?!(some egg on Inslee's face here)
I've never been on a Washington St ferry but figured that was going to be a big part of the problem that went unmentioned in the lamestream.
Hiring pt on call to start is a poor hiring practice. If they want to fix the problem then hire full time
Bingo. Why take the job if you can find a higher paying one that doesn't force uncompensated on call status for an indeterminate period on hire?
@@antherthalmhersser7239 I’ve worked with heavy equipment, locomotives and aircraft throughout my life. Moved to Washington recently and thought writing the ferries would be pretty cool. Not under those terms unfortunately
If you're an established adult coming with experience in other fields, it's a pretty rare person that could make that situation work right now. A brand new, 18 year old OS living at home? Sure, but then again why not make more money and see the world?
They made an effort to hire full time. Offered increased "relief" OS/AB opportunities.
This is all on Insley and half his family that are running the Washington State ferry system. I don't think these people have any idea nor even care of what they're doing to people that depend on the ferries. I've lost three clients. I'm making half the money I used to. And I am starting to become very sick due to the stress I have osteoarthritis in my spine and last Tuesday I got in line at 5:05 I got home at 8:15. So again no dinner. I could go on for days with the abuse. How do these people go to bed and sleep at night????
I'm wondering how you can sleep at night.
So the training is way longer than commercial airplane employees but they get paid 1/4 the salary? Makes sense.
Since there is no information available at all about the Fauntleroy Vashon Southworth triangle I thought I'd let you all know that it is over 40 minutes behind schedule. There were many cars left behind at the Southworth. You may prefer to drive around. My clients been standing at the door for over 30 minutes already
It's a shame the ferries are having so many issues. I've ridden the ferries since I was a child. These days all the ferries, including the foot ferries, are having so many delays and issues. It wasn't like that when I was younger.
How many nieces and nephews do you have? Do you have any children?
Its not only the delays my boss tried to take a fold up electric scooter on the ferry and they wouldn't let him. They claimed they only had room for 8 scooters but these scooters are so small when folded up you can put the scooter in you're lap or next to you're feet. He needed the scooter because the jobsite was over a mile from the ferry terminal, walking would take too long and catching a bus would be expensive/take almost as long as walking. He also wished they had more salilings because sometimes he missed the ferry by a few minutes and didn't want to wait another hour. He also was frustrated that they limited passengers capacity and required masks long after everyone was vaccinated and everyone else had dropped these requirements. He felt that if you wanted to wear a mask more power to you but it was a personal choice you shouldn't be forced to wear a mask.
It was nice to see they didn't have a ferry covering the story....
I'm going to be using the ferries alot less. My relatives from California were visiting on a cold grey early October weekend, a weekend that you wouldn't expect to be super crowded. We drove onto the Ferry and road it to Bainbridge island, I'm glad we had the car it gave us the freedom to visit more than just the main tourist street. The $30 toll to take the car to the island was bad enough but when they wanted another $20 to $30 to get back to Seattle I was like what the hell I'm not going to pay $50-$60/almost 10X the toll I'd pay to drive accross a bridge. They claimed ferry fees have always worked this way but I've lived hear since 2014 and I'd swear I've taken the ferry both ways before and it never cost $50-$60. This was after we had waited almost 1 hour in line not sure if we'd have to wait for the next ferry. Between the hour wait and the almost 2 hour drive home our evening was runined which really pissed me off because this relative who I hadn't seen in years was only visiting for 2 days and we needed our damm evening. If taking the ferry is going to be such a long expensive chore I'm going to do alot less of it and think twice about taking another visitor on the ferry. I don't know how the locals who live on the island afford the monetary and time cost of the ferry.
Aloha this news coming from Fauntleroy ferry dock the 3:50 pm ferry is currently loading - it is currently 5:05 pm and we are still loading. OVER AN HOUR LATE!!!!!!
Well Bainbridge was the first one to keep/have full service.
Must be nice to be governor and just happen to live at the one place with uninterrupted ferry service while letting the rest of the system suffer.
I’m joining job corps for the seaman ship program in Oregon once i graduate I’m moving to Seattle I hope they still need employees bad cause I’m ready to work
Consider that CenturyLink aka Lumen Field cost $740 million. A ferry cost $150 million. Washington State knew when these vessels were to be taken out of service. So when and where are some of those profits from Lumen Field and other such (semi-)public projects going to provide returns to Washington State residents by help paying for eventual replacement the fleet of 21 vessels?
It’s time for a bridge to those islands.
No.
Whete does the funds come from for this service, highway funds?
cause the state fired them all...
Maybe don't cut crew benefits if you are struggling finding or keeping crew.
Pay
BC ferries are much more efficient and better ill drive over to use them instead of these
Ger financial aid from Ukraine for ferry repairs. A few billion dollars should help.
3:20 “…forcing people out of jobs….” Wait, what? No, WSF and the IBU could both see that coming, and they both chose to stick their heads in the sand to protect the status quo
Tim Eyeman is the biggest reason the ferry system fell apart. Not enough funding to buy new boats.
That's bulshit they have the money for the new boats they have had it for sometime check your facts first honey. They've been lying to you
Hire me am truck driver but i want to be a SAILOR
You people cry about anything, if you didn’t take a vacation in the other island this won’t happen to you , you know exactly what’s going to happen when 100k thousand people decided to take a vacation before it’s nice outside , ferry has its limits hey already been running so much than they did 3 8’s or 2-12 ‘s and some are still not please , go around if you don’t like the service , people life is simple as it is , 😡
LOL too funny. Since the Pandemic. You all fell for it. You all push nonsense. You all get to enjoy the consequences. lmao
Stay in seattle...vote democrat..aaaaaand all your problems will go away.
Hahahahahahahaha😂 I hear you but I would rather die than ever vote for a republican they're just too violent nasty for me. And I'm not pleased with Democrats either. So what do you do I vote for Bernie
Is that as far as your brain takes you, saying Republican or Democrat? Can't you remember names?
Gee to bad Washington Ferry's aren't migrants they would be funded 150% .
We need to offer citizenship to hard working immigrants to staff the diminishing ferry staff!!
Or give it to hard working American citizens that apply for the job
As long as they got all 4 shots.
@@thetrueresistance1224where are those hard working American citizens at? I assume these jobs would’ve been filled by now by your logic
@@thetrueresistance1224 I am pretty sure they are trying but no current citizens want the jobs apparently!
@@DogeLeague not true at all I know a few other people that applied to the same job and didn't get it after spending the required money trying to get it, even Boeing is saying the same thing but 10 people I know with good experience applied and didn't get the job but people with no experience at all is getting the job and Boeing still is struggling. Companies need to just start hiring people that apply for the job that pass their requirements
