awesome thanks!

I got the text of the date and time of the exam, still no email or admission letter yet though, should the text be good enough to take the exam?

Nice!! Did they send you an email or letter? Haven't heard anything yet

It looks like the project is back on the table, as the MTA put out an RFI regarding vendors for CBTC retrofits for them: https://new.mta.info/document/103906

Did anyone who filled out the appeal form ever hear back? Exam is roughly a month away

Also, I just read the appeal form, and they explain it way better, (again, they shouldve clarified from the start). The total percentage for EACH job must add up to 100% and nothing more. So just make sure for each job you keep it under or at 100%.

Lol this whole thing is so bizzare to me. The fact that HUNDREDS of people have this same problem means they did a horrible job of explaining it. IMO this shouldn't even matter. We all dished out $50+ on an exam fee, and all have the experience, why make it such a process? Nonetheless I hope they sort this out, or they're going to have a very short class of station agents coming up

Tried calling the exam unit but gave up after being on hold for 2 hours lol, I guess other people had the same issue as well

Yeah I got the same thing as well, not sure what thats about

Has anyone applied or got called for this position? Apparently there was a study guide supposed to be sent out but nothings been sent yet.

All the NTT's are capable of speeds of 70+ mph, but the traction motors are electronically programmed to cut out at 55 mph. I've read somewhere that when the R142's first came in, they hit 78 mph in the rockaways.

Damn its not looking good for a lot of us then, everyone in the high thousands. I guess the next best thing to do would be to wait until Station Agent opens up in November. And if you got called for C/R you're already one step ahead

Just got my list #, and damn is it high, 9XXX over here. I know they said its random but still not counting on anything lol

What? I literally ride Lexington everyday, and you don't even have to know it's one of the busiest corridors in the US. Also who said anything about cutting service? We need the extra trains. And yes they are old, by the time the R262's get here they will be almost 30-40 years old. They'll be due for replacement. I'm not suggesting the 262's replace the 142/A's, but whos to say they won't tag on some extra cars during the option order.

I read about this a while ago, I think this project is dead in the water. Considering how cash strapped they are, i'd be shocked if they're going to bother setting aside funding to upgrade them or just wait until the R262's come in and phase them out altogether.
