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!

Last year when I was on probation they put me on the midnight tour for 2 straight months. Let me tell you it was the 2 hardest months I ever had to deal with. I toughed out but it was DIFFICULT. It was worth me because like comrade said I had to look at the bigger picture. I also knew to never again pick a temporary job that would make me fall to the bottom of the XX list if the person resumed. This job isn’t easy at times when situations happen but in the end it’s worth it in my opinion. -

The sacrifices can be worth it. You have a relatively stable job (it’s not like the subway is going anywhere), a union (problematic as parts of it may be… looking at you two, Tramell and Canella), a government pension… I’m down here two years and my paycheck is already about $30 an hour gross… -
Thank you for the quick reply! Guess as you said I'm good to go .
