    • To make a long story short: I am in a similar situation, and I am looking forward to your next update. Thank you for your post.
    • **Update**   They reached out to me via email. They requested me to  - Tell us about any errors on your conviction history;  - Give us any additional information you’d like us to consider after reviewing this notice.   They also stated  Based on these factors, we may deny you the job because: • We believe there is a direct relationship between your conviction record and the job we offered to you, and the factors listed above do not lessen that relationship because: Train Operators operate in an unsupervised environment with frequent public and employee interaction as they convey passengers over assigned routes and they work in customer, yard, and work train service. • Your conviction record creates an unreasonable risk to specific persons, the general public, or our property because: Train Operators operate in an unsupervised environment with frequent interaction with the general public and must ensure the safety of property, passengers as well as those of NYCT employees. The nature of your criminal activities, how recently the criminal activities occurred, and your age at the time the activities occurred create an unreasonable risk to the safety of passengers and NYCT employees and property.     I have a non violent conviction and I am in no way a safety risk to the general public. My conviction is theft related. I was told MTA does not hold your criminal record against you as long as you disclose it on the application and bring in the proper disposition papers. I submitted responded to them with additional information as well as supporting documents. I’m sharing my experience of the job process for anyone that may be in a similar situation. Will keep you updated when I receive a decision or an update
    • True, when they drafted me midnight they honored my RDO requests (Even tho i specified staying PMS was more important to me) so I was chilling with S/M RDOs for those 2 months
    • Yes they do and you need to stay on top of them. I met a young lady at the drug test and we exchanged  numbers for the mutual benefit of knowing what's going on with the process and not missing anything. She got her job offer in her email a few months later, I got nothing. She was a few list numbers after me. I called them up and called them on it. They didn't know what to say. They told me some BS that they randomly go through the numbers. I said yeah, well if this girl's getting the job you got to offer it to me because my list number is before hers. They immediately put me in the next class with her.    Of course most people I tell this story want to tell me it's because of race or gender, affirmative action equal opportunity quotas blah blah blah.... I don't believe that. I think they're just highly unorganized and you need to make sure they stay on course.
    • You know you fall to XL now with the new stipulation, right?    Anyway... I actually asked to be on midnights during my probation as soon as I figured out you could put in a preference sheet. They put me on midnights for 2 weeks, it was mostly being on board for a.m. jobs. They put me back on PMs after that without notice. But, when I got the midnight tour, I also got Saturday Sunday off. And they kept that for my PM switch... So I was out on the road about 2 months and already had Saturday Sunday 🤣 Point of the story is, nothing is impossible, good things can and do happen!
