    B/O 4600 Hiring Process

    Hey Everyone. Got GOOD NEWS. I QUALIFIED TODAY ON DAY 9. We had Superintendent Evans. I heard her in my dreams last night saying "SCAN YOUR MIRRORS", "EXECUTE", "PUSH AND PULL", "NOW DRIVE THE BUS".

     

    She is ROUGH, but I GREATLY APPRECIATE HER. She really pushed me to the LIMIT and it showed in 1 DAY. Her Knowledge and Experience is PRICELESS. I learned a lot from her and from Supt. Hamlin. He gave me the foundation of the Safe Operation as a Bus Operator and she Reinforced it with her "EXECUTE" anmd "MANEUVER" style.

     

    I am TRULY GRATEFUL TODAY. Line Training begins on Monday for me.

     

    CONGRATS TO YOU ALL.

     

    Oh yeah, I forgot to ask, since I qualified today, and start Line Training on Monday at 8:30am, CAN I RESIGN FROM MY JOB NOW??

     

    Please somebody RESPOND ASAP.

    Congrats to you woot woot

    I can't wait to safely operate from point A to Point B and from Point B to Point A. Working for MTA is something for me to wake up and not feel "ugh I got to go to work now". Working for the MTA has been a dream since I was 6! My dream career for MTA is Train Operator but getting into the agency you want is a HUGE Success and Dream come true.

    6 years old lol sorry I had to laugh

    DAY 1 - My day today out of MJ Quill in Manhattan with Supt. Hamlin went well. I have to fix a few things, but let me tell you, he is PRETTY GOOD and knows his stuff. He wants us to focus on scanning 3-5 seconds and maintaining that 4 feet. I did a GREAT Job doing that and I also rode the white line with it in the center of my Steering wheel. I believe he saw I was doing that which allowed me to cover my right side. That was my part of my main focus today. I gotta work a little more on the Push and Pull Technique. Calling out the hazards came to me after awhile and the forward planning he showed us began to come in to practice as well to watch for the changing lights.

     

    Got the (3) Mirrors Set-up really well and I got the ALSAPS DOWN PACKED and WORKING ON the Pre-Trip Inspection. I just need more time behind the wheel to practice more of the driving.

     

    Overall it was a very Positive and Productive DAY 1 for me. I absorbed a lot from him as he pointed out EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING. He's very thorough and I need that to be as SAFE of Bus Operator as possible. I took a lot of notes.

     

    Well gotta get offline and finish Chapter 2 for tomorrow and go over PRE-TRIP at least 3 more times tonight before I sleep.

    Everyone. keep up the GREAT WORK. See yall all on the road soon in passing TOOT-TOOT (from my horn)

    Yes do your thing you will be fine. He's teaching right glad your getting the dam thg done. Lol

    College Point and LGA are MTA Bus though and not NYCT. I believe CP and LGA have the same unions if Im not mistaken it's not twu 100, I think it's awu 1179. I could be wrong dont quote me on that. Good luck to the April 3rd class. Hopefully I'll get into the April 17th or the next class.

    That was for march 6 picks n yes it was for mta bus but 3 students that was Mta bus with twu 100 union that got to pick there

    Don't be so hard on yourself, you made it this far you can accomplish what ever else you're going to be put through. It took me the end of my second week of line training to know most* of the lines at my depot. What I did was I wrote the turns on an index card per bus route and then I would find a place to stick the card somewhere near the telltale panel.

    lol I'm not hard on myself just annoyed with Manhattan lol

    Only one out of four of us has the chance to qualify on day 7, that's tomorrow. I did just one stupid mistake in Union Square. Instead of making a full stop when a driver opened his parked car door on my right side, I slowed the bus down and inched forward. Though I had the breaks covered if needed to stop, I was bit too close to the car. Didn't get charlie braked, driver got into the car without incident, but not coming to a full stop cost me. Another two extra days of training will do me good.

     

    Hope this will help the future candidates....

    Don't worry your still in n two more days won't hurt you but help you[emoji846]
