NYCT will issue you boots. They have several options to choose from.. ALL OF THEM ARE VERY HEAVY and all have composite toe protection. Its all about your preference. Do you prefer low cut or high tops... thats pretty much it. If you can't wear the boots provided to you then you need to get a doctors note and fill out a form so that you can wear your own boots.. But it needs to be approved first.

congrats again folks! Question? How many Train operators at orientation this week? How many went to the A div? How many B div?

congrats to all that got that call to come down here.. and to all that are waiting just be patient.. i know that sounds impossible but trust me when I tell you... everything is a lesson in patience down here.. Its an antiquated system.. Everything takes time down here.. Good luck to you all..

@WESTENDMAN you will not get paid for that holiday. you will have the extra day off though. You need to be with NYCT 30 days before you can get paid for holidays. They will let you know

Anyone else get called???

@brownhornet dude didn't know the difference between "WHAT HE SAID???" and ^^what he said^^. One is a question the other is confirmation.. LMAO... crazy. Those little misunderstandings will have you fail the signal exam!!! hahaha.. Alright Im done talking about @trainman. I genuinely hope he does get this job and does well for himself.. Im not a hater at all..

@trainman the truth hurts... but no need to get all worked up like you some type of gangster... Work out your anger issues before you get called down here. because the outbursts and lack of self control that you have right now won't help you at all down here. The 5 plus years you waited to get this job will be taken from you in a NY minute for behaving that way. So chill out boy.. You never know who's reading this..

pffffffffff!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!

@BROWNHORNET WHERE MY BADGE AT?????? I NEED THAT!

I don't know exactly what happened here. But I do know that @trainman has a track record of trying to police this forum like he owns it. Then he likes to hide when things get thick. @trainman likes to ask off topic questions when it suits him but if we talk about off topic subjects on here he starts crying like a little girl. When I say off topic I'm referring to getting called for dt or med or final processing.

. And what's your list # trainman?? Seems like you been on here forever. What's your deal?

@aanxious not yet. Late July.

My group was 40 train ops and 60 conductors. They break us up after orientation into classes of 10. Either A div or B div. you could get PM OR AM tour as well.

Like I said before it's roughly 1500 if you claim 0 dependents. That includes union dues and medical contributions for 40 hours of pay. 1500 and change ballpark after taxes. A few of my classmates have many dependents. They said their check was in the 1800 range after taxes. As for what RTOPRO said he's right though. Many factors will play a part in how much you will get. If you elect 401k or disability or many other deductions that electives can change that number. I personally file 1 dependent and only have union dues and medical contribution coming out of my check. I also have a PM tour for school car so I average around 50 hours of night diff Every two weeks. My take home after all that is 1641. A check. So you could either round up or down based on your own personal preference based on what you will elect. Hope that helped clarify things a bit more.

What's the word on this next class???? This forum dies so quick.

If you claim 0 dependents you're looking at 1500 after taxes. For school car.

No NYC resident required. @allday tier 6

I'm starving!! Forget hungry!! I'm always pushing everyone to do better. Challenging them with questions while we are on breaks. Making the class competitive so that everyone stays on their toes. People get discouraged quickly once they realize how much we need to study and know. The weak get sorted out very quickly. TSS's know immediately who are the weak links. Especially when it comes to flowing instructions. No one will hold your hand. From the interview process down to operating. CYA CONSIDER YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE

Good luck to everyone waiting. I was just in your shoes less than a month ago. But trust me once you start .... Things begin to move very fast. Tons of stuff to learn from the ground up. It's definitely been a ride so far. Just keep this in mind from right now.... "TRAIN OPERATOR" does not mean that all you need to do is operate the train. Be prepared to learn this job. It's much more than just operating trains. Have an open mind. And forget everything you thought you knew or heard about this job.

We good. Lol. Waiting on you guys!!!

Success7 thanks for the info and advice. I'm definitely going to be aggressive and go for it 100%...

Serious question here. I'm in school car now 1 week so far. How difficult are the exams? Especially signal exam? Because they have all of us paranoid right now with threats of being dismissed. I know passing is 100%. How often do people fail?

@my923ksl you need to pay on the lirr for now. Eventually those who qualify based on where they reside will get the EPIC PASS to ride metro north or lirr. Depending on your address

Anybody get called for final processing this week????

Yes sir. I will see you. Where you at tomorrow??
