Hey guys I have one more question regarding a question on the 21 page booklet. One question ask if you ever resigned because either you were forced to or quit because you thought you were going to get fired. I was in a situation like this years ago with a company. Should I just leave it a yes or leave a yes and fully explain myself in the area marked "reason for leaving" Currently I wrote just "resigned" in the reason for leaving area and a "yes" to that question. I am paranoid now from some of the responses that I read. Some say just write what they ask, no more, no less and some say lay it all out on the 21 page booklet so you have no worries sleeping at night because you were honest and forthcoming to every little detail ?

Hi Trainman, thanks brother for your words. I have to go in Tues. I pray I get through medical with no holdups. I know I don't have any medical problems, don't drink or smoke or do anything but you never know whats going to happen. I got a phone call just like how everyone stated in this thread. I hope everyone gets called and passes medical so we can see each other on Dec 16th. Thanks again.

Hi, thanks man. I am in low 1620s. They told me they call 40 at a time for medical. If 1614 was the last appointed person according to the DCAS recording I would speculate there is a high probability you will be called. Your right there ! Since this is a holiday week not sure if tomorrow is a full working day or if they work on Friday. Obviously, Thurs its closed because of Thanksgiving. Plus I am sure they wont reach 40 "live" people in a row and have to skip some because they couldn't get in contact. I'm just speculating here..

Just got called for medical. I have to go in early next week. My list # is low 1600s. They want to fill up the Dec 16th class. Anyone with list # 1600/1700s good chance you will be called and be in Dec 16th class. I hope everything goes well with my medical AND yours. Best of luck to all and god willing see you on Dec 16th.

Thanks for the reply. I hope we all get through this and get into school car. Everyone of us. Thanks again Trainman, appreciate your time.

Thanks Trainman. If you are disqualified for whatever reason is it after the medical and you hand in your 21 page packet or can it be before the medical ? Assuming you passed the D/T and are disqualified for something else...

If you look in the previous page a poster said they mail you a letter within a week after the D/T if you failed it. Also, today I read the copy of the drug test paperwork that we all got after. If you read the back. "If laboratory confirms a non-negative for test results (drugs detected, substituted etc) you will be contacted at the telephone number you provided". Though I am curious on OTHER possibilities of denial (ex: past employment doesn't equal 5 years working, you were fired from a previous job or whatever the reason just as an example) does MTA notify you on that as well or leave you sitting in the dark and you never hear from them again. I hope your right PopsicleGirl. I tried to call Ms. Shivers, went to a full VM. Couldn't leave a message. My list # is close to yours.

Is anyone else here have list # in the 1600/1700 range and waiting for medical ? If someone passes D/T but was denied for some other reason does MTA send you a letter stating why you were denied ? I just want to know if MTA sends someone a letter no matter what the reason for a denial to let you know whats going on ? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply. Appreciate it.

Does anyone know if you do fail the D/T how soon after the test do you receive the letter ? I took a pre workout supplement a few days before that might have some banned substances and I freaking read the label on that after the D/T and this has been on my mind ever since. I am paranoid as hell.. Any timetable on when people receive the failed letter ? Thanks. I hope we all get the job and all in the same school car.

^^ That guy who failed the d/t, either he was smoking 24/7 for years on end or he is mistaken how long he quit smoking. There is absolutely no way you can test positive for marijuana if he stopped "5 to 6" months ago. The lab tech never told me that I will receive a call if I failed. Strange how some people get told different things from others.

I believe Dec 16th

Damn I am close to 1616.. If I am not called for medical by now does that mean I got looked over for this job, I am worried now?! Who did you talk to over there about this list #1616?

Yeah I am not quite sure what is going on. Someone from 180 Livingston told me the D/T is good for 90 days yet I read online someone else told somebody it is good for only 30 days. When I call the automated # for dcas the automated machine says the last appointed TO is list #1414.

Damn.. it looks like we not going to make it for the Dec class ? When was your 1st D/T and your 2nd D/T if you don't mind me asking ? Thanks.

I took the drug test on the 29th of Oct. Thanks for your reply. Thanks man. I talked to Ms Shivers about 2 weeks ago and last time we left off she said they were up to list 1550. I asked her about medical and she said she has no time table on when I will be called. It depends on how much need there are for TO at the time. She also mentioned they call 40 at a time for medical. I will try her again. Its hard to get through to her sometimes and her VM is full so I cant leave a message. I will post here with any new info

I hope someone can answer this for me. I am waiting for medical. IF for whatever reason I don't get accepted, does MTA send me a notice or notify me in any way that I was denied this job OR am I never going to hear back from them ? My list # is low 1600s... Thanks for any help.

No. Atleast not when I did it. You go into a bathroom. You have to remove your coat, phone, bags and put it in a locker.

Has anyone recently talk to Ms. Shivers about where they are up to on the list? Last time I spoke to her was about 2 weeks ago and she said its at 1550
