Have some faith brother..they're hiring through the end of next year.

I have a 10 year old felony and I work for transit as a train operator. Be truthful, have disposition papers for every conviction and you'll be fine. good luck

Last day of school car for me. Time to pound the road and get through probation. Good luck to you all

Unfortunately, the list will expire before they call you. Sorry. Usually within 2 weeks, but then again, this is transit. Congrats!

This monday I'll be on my final week of posting. The following week consists of the final exam and road practical. Lord willing I'll be out of school car 12/22. My advice to all the recent inductees is as follows. Study Signals, read your induction book through and thoroughly. Study signals, don't be nervous or get intimidated, YOU are the train operator, you control the train don't let it control you! Study signals, study rule book and memorize the rules that pertains to your title, study signals, and most importantly, pay attention! Get enough rest. It sucks when you're tired and locked in that cab with nothing but clanking steel to listen to and no one to talk to. Good luck everyone!

Actually, A Division training is 7 months and the B Division is 9 months

You hand it in at the very end to your interviewer.

F#©*ing A!!! Your the man RTO. Couldn't gave said it better myself.

On situations like this, the event recorders on the train as well as on the signals well save you. It's the brighter side of ATS

You can pretty much count on 8 hour days until you start posting, but I wouldn't count on the 0730 start, they're doing night schoolcar as well.

ATS can either with for you or against you. If you go out and know what you're doing and be attentive then you should not fear ATS. Hit a signal? Overran a station? Be truthful and consider it to be lube.

Yes, you get to pick, given that there is still room in the division you want when called upon to pick. Promotionals get first pick then they call the OC guys in seniority order. The A Division has fewer equipment than the B. Training is 3 months less also. You have to learn the same, rules, signals, etc. Operation is relatively the same, you just have to learn the technical part for each equipment.

September 2016 Alright!! Moves me up in seniority..lol. Seriously though, I'm happy more people are coming in. Congrats to those who made the June class.

In TA-28 we have TSS's Smith & Richardson and they're great. On top of that we have a small group of 7 and we all get along well. Good luck to all in schoolcar.

Thanks to the TSS that suggested that we spiral bind our rules and induction books..they are much more comfortable to read now.

Yes, TA-28 is our class name. Can't wait to actually start some real training.

For now I'm just staying in the city M-F, but found a couple PA residents in my class and we are trying to make arrangements to carpool. Thanks! How's life after schoolcar?

The side effects of anxiety medication are very contradictive to a safety sensitive job, regardless of how you feel, the potential risk of the side effects raises a huge red flag. which is why you were placed on hold. My suggestion is to speak to your doctor and see what options you have.

Congrats!

It is at 0730, but the earlier you arrive, the lower the ticket number..therefore the quicker you're out of there and on your way to schoolcar. Good luck!

Try to get there around 0630. You'll get there before anybody, buy when the receptionist arrives she'll tell you that you can go upstairs with her. You'll get one of the first numbers if not the first and you should be out of there fairly quick.

They don't ask for anything from previous employers. They just ask you to disclose every job you've had in the past 10 years. Nothing much different from any other job app.

Thank you for answering RTO. I'm anxious to start schoolcar. I hope I made a good decision by leaving Mack Trucks UAW 677 to work for Transit.

Awesome! Congrats! I spoke to you before. Im the guy from Macungie. I start SchoolCar on Monday!

What's the OT like as a T\O? Is there daily overtime available or is it just on your RDO? I'm not planning on working OT as a probie, but I'm just curious and would like to know. Thanks
