How long ago was your Drug test

i dont think that should effect anything, so statensirt, your also waiting for the letter ?

good work erik ,congratz

How long you been with mta westendman?

is it true you can only work in the yards? or is that for the old timers?

oh ok, so how your working the B division your in one particular line..for example if your on the F train you will be only running the F to coney island and then back to 179st back and forth?

yes you are correct, when you guys get days off, is it 2 days in a row? like example...monday tuesday?

thats good to hear westendman, i appreciate your feedback which gives me hope..i guess im worrying to much because i love to spend time with my daughter but im actually doing this for her so she can have a good life as well..i guess i just have to sacrafice my social life

westendman your scaring me but i appreciate your honesty how are you liking the job so far and what are your hours mostly? night and weekends? what division your in?

@running on rails, for someone who is not in the MTA you sure know your stuff man..you seemed very prepared to become a T/O

hope you guys get that letter this week, question,( you guys will be getting a lot from me lol) -so the first 2 weeks will be paper works and us splitting into groups? when do we pick the division we want? -during training and after the Signal exam, we will be doing practicals? how are the practicals so far? for those training as we speak -so training,posting etc is 7-9 months? -when posting and you choose the division you desire ( you will be posting within the division you choose? -for any reason you wanted the B division because you live within queens area and you are thrown into the A division..can you switch over to the B division if so..do you have to training for another 2 months to learn B division?

Yea bro ,just been thinking so much and made up my mind to leave my job to dedicate myself to this ..my main concerns was spending time with my daughter and be home on the holidays but working for mta to won't happen ..but in the long run it should pay off ..so let's see how this works out..I'm just use to working a regular 9-5 with weekends and holidays off I guess ..so huge transition to get use to

You will get it bro trust me

Thanks erik ,good luck bro

Cool erik ,appreciate it bro what time your in tomorrow? And where? So how your in the A division your in A division yards?

Shit

So 2 months into training and you took your signal final?

What's the hardest thing about the job other then your schedule?

When did you started erik? What division?

Thanks bro,good luck

Hey Erik ,can you state what example was asked if not don't worry just looking for examples..how many questions? Was it everything they went over ..are there signals that we don't need to bother knowing? How did the rest of the class do?

Instead of the rule book is there another source we can use in the mean time to get a head start? All the yards that you will be training in ..it's easier to drive to them or train ? Because bronx is about 3 hours with the train from me I believe

same here, i work currently as northshore-lij but i am no where of the starting rate of a T/O ..me and my wife works and my daughter is in daycare..it will be so tough with school car schedule to drop my daughter and pick her up..my head hurts just thinking of this

how is school car going for you Matt? whats the ups and downs so far for you how is the traveling? trust me i hear you bro, you should be cleared soon with a start date..my problem is i have a job right now ,,but the pay isnt that great but i do actually have a life and time to spend with my family..i know if i start schoolcar etc..i can kiss that all goodbye eeven when i start to work as a to..MTA runs your life from there..but this is something i really have to think about..guess i am just thinking ahead

thanks for the encouragement bro, just that fear of not making it thru and losing your current job..its a very huge risk and move to be taking knowing you will be an Xtra Xtra for a long time and wont have time to spend with your family
