It's dumb to fire someone when you just spent hundreds of thousands of dollars teaching them not to do that again.
Also if you hire someone who can “learn fairly quick”, you’re going to be back in this same position fairly quick.
I would assume that for operating expensive vehicles like this, you get training on how to use them properly to avoid these kinds of issues. Flipped because they ignored protocol? Well, you already tried teaching them and it didn't take. Try someone else. Did something unexpected come up to make this happen? Now that's potentially valuable knowledge that you want to keep in your crew.
Some people just arent cut out for certain jobs. There is no good reason to ever flip that truck that way. Where i work at the only thing that will really get you fired on the spot is doing something really dumb like this, or putting someone else in an unsafe position. Also a few hundred grand is the low end. If the driver is really dumb and xoesnt cut the engine off as soon as he gets done rolling, he will ruin the entire engine which will cost close to a million just for the engine alone.
It's all optics. Pretend to be the boss, how are you going to explain this to your boss? You can't justify not firing. The current one did it once and its permanently on his record, better to get rid of him and make sure the replacement doesn't cause a problem until this one is forgotten.
