OPINION OF BOARD: Claimant, a senior employee with many years of ser
 vice, and an unblemished record in disciplinary mat
 ters, was dismissed after an investigation into an unfortunate verbal
 exchange with his supervisor. Carrier later rescinded the dismissal and
 restored him to service. This claim seeks pay for all time lost.

 The record does not support Claimant's desire for a complete reversal of the discipline. It does, however, reflect that in his thirty six years with Carrier Claimant has not been involved in any other disciplinary matter. Considering measure of discipline in this case.
