Big daddy cool

After 2 days down @ 130 we head to schoolcar tomorrow..... I was able to stay in the B divivison cant wait for that striped shirt

Lucky me, I got placed on hold because I'm diabetic.. So now I'm running  around like a chicken with no head trying to get blood tests done and paperwork filled out. I'm not on insulin but now my doctor tells me I'm going to need it.. who knows where this is going to end now..

sorry to hear that hope your able to get this little set back quickly because you went thru alot just to get down there so dont give up!!!

Well that makes sense, I just received a call today from the MTA to report in on Monday morning for the medical/final processing.. So yes, they are starting to call people to prep them up for the upcoming classes, which is a good sign.. My list number is between 325-335 but I was called in late so I honestly don't know what numbers are going to be called..

so how did it go on monday???

so i went down this morning and pass medical and final processing  so the count beings as the days of me being a conductor comes to an end and my new position of train operator begins on Jan 28th!!!! see the rest of you guys who pass on the 28th... if you can find me lol!!!! 

YES i got call yesterday to come down this wednesday for medical and final processing...... T/O here I come!!!! give me my striped shirted  Thank You!!!

I feel so old now. There was no such thing as BSC when I started.......

 

You havent been down here long enough to make this statement...... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? YOU JUST STARTED SMH

What does RTO & RDO stand for??

 

Rapid Transportation Operations- RTO

Regular Day Off-RDO

Uniforms and all other issued gear (including the books) are TA property and you will have to return or pay for them upon promoting or resigning. The first set is free but you can order extra uniforms at your own cost from the uniform vendor (Lion?)

 

actually uniforms are free and you can order them after a certain time shirt and pants 3 and jackets 5 years if you want any uniforms before the time period is up you will have to pay

did anybody else heard that Joe Lhota is stepping down Friday to prep a run for NYC mayor??? so what does this means in terms of getting a new contract???

wow this forum has been quiet the past couple of days??? how are some of you doing??? happy holidays!!!

anyone know the theme song from jeoperdy??? i trying to get the tune going in my head while watching the phone waiting for it to ring lol

oh yeah btw good luck to all of you starting school car tomorrow and dont pay no mind to people on here who dont work for transit as of yet ask questions study on your own time and you will be alright!!!!

Sensitive? That is the dumbest thing I have heard on this thread so far. Your opinion is lacking, I was simply stating the retarded statements that go around on here. How can I take that personal? The holier then thou attitude is picking up a Mic. In my 40 years on this earth I think that was the most childish form of expression I have seen. Say what you like but I take none of this personal, I have very thick skin. I just call shat like I see it. Nothing personal, just don't care for kid games. Ps Takes Mic throws it down and Good night Cleveland!

 

you sound very childish yourself at the end of your post and i hope i am not in the same class in school car as you because like i said before i currently work for the mta and your 40 year old virgin self would be just the dumb person asking me all sorts of stupids questions which is part of the reason i would not want any of my "so-called classmates asking me anything" you talk so much big stuff here on how you dont take nothing personal but yet you seem to know more about what it is like working for the mta let alone being a T/O i dont have much time here as some of my fellow co-workers but i have enough time to tell you listen to everything everyone is telling and adjust yourself to the lifestyle on this job try to balance what they teach you and school car and real life situations on the road!!! because depending on what the situation is what they teach you in school car and also get you chastised for not using common sense PS * finds mic and stick it right8 you know the rest!!!!

Nah we are a bunch of "Hollier than thou Know-It Alls" Snowblock...

 

no we are a bunch of disgruntled employees

it funny how people who came of the street that is in school car now think they are in a position to give advice to other people who is coming from the street the only thing you can give advice about is what you have done to get into school car because when you hit the road (if you make it through school car and i hope you do) you will see how life is after school car they can teach everything they want too but you wont know how it is really done until you are out on your own so stop giving advice and put a little more concertration into what they are teaching you in school car and stop worrying about what pther people who are currently T/O are saying on here!!! as they say know your job!!!

this thread is funny when i am feeling down i go pop some popcorn and start reading this then i am feeling GREAT about life again... lol

i cant wait to meet some of you guys hopefully you will be my T/o before i get call you all sound like wonderful people

HI welcome to the group. So is it safe to say you are on the OC list? If so pls share your list range and any insight working within the MTA.

 

Happy Holidays

 

No I will not share any insight on working with the mta alot of people have already stated what can be said about working for transit so just go back and read what was stated already my range is late 300 early 400

Also I am currently employed by NYCT as a conductor good luck to all of you!!!!
