No it doesn’t. It’s hard to keep up with all the information you have to keep up to date with. You’ll get tested every time you guys meet up.

Vision, hearing, simulate walking on gravel and tracks and climbing up and down a train.

I’m assuming any government ID such as passport

No. There are only 4 instructors. The next instructor available his class graduates in March. He’ll be available for the phase 2 guys in March or April So the following Phase 1 class would probably be starting End of March early April. (Next class to graduate after March is in July). They usually call 12 applicants. In the past they would call 16-18 applicants and the 12 highest scores move on to phase 2.

If you got an invite to the AC Overview. Yes you will have to take the cognitive test again plus an extra test on math. I would take both. Just in case one doesn’t call. At least you’re in the pool for another. Usually there’s a disclaimer that if you already applied to another position to don’t apply for another. But why not. You never know.

Good luck to all. 👍🏽👍🏽

The essay part is just a question on why do you want the job or why should we pick you. Something along those lines. I can’t remember the exact question. The reading material they will give it to you the day of your interview before they call you in. It’s pretty much the job description job related stuff. They’re going to ask questions on what you just read.

Congrats. Good luck.

When he started he lived in the Bronx to be closer to upstate. Then he moved back to queens with his wife. He brought his house in East Meadow 7 years ago.

My boy is an MNRR engineer and he lives in LI. Been an engineer almost 19-20 years. Works out of GCT

Depends if you work over night. And it’s only like an extra .982/hour.hours from night diff are 8p-5.59a.

We didn’t have a contract for the last 3.5 years. We just ratified December 2022. We’re just waiting on the new rate to kick in for the remainder of the contract which expires April 2023.
-
MNRR top pay is 50.21 at 7th year. LIRR starting is $30 now and top pay is 49.91 at the beginning of your 4th year.

Yes they do ask operational questions. The “What would you do” scenarios along with the common interview questions.
-
To answer your questions 1. yes we are short about 50-60 engineers. There’s always a class 10 guys graduating 2-3 time a year. Plus 15-25 guys retire every year. The crewbook for routes including GCT was released Sept 2022. The crewbook doesn’t go into effect until GCT does a full opening. They were supposed to open in Dec. didn’t happen. Too many kinks that they’re finalizing. There will be a shuttle service program (soft opening) before the new crewbook takes effect. But to as to when will it begin. We don’t know yet. 2. It’s true. P1 and P2 make it seem like a cake walk. But don’t worry you will keep studying the signals and Definition for the next 16 months along side drawing, air brake, rules and regulations. Plus learning how to operate. In the most recent class, 1 trainee failed out the program. it’s not an easy program. Just be prepared to be mentally checked out with your families and warn them about not being involved in family time. This program does affect marriages and relationships. Kiss your social life’s goodbye for the next 2-4 years.

I mean how many showed up for the test today?
-
Good luck. How many people showed up? I just heard that the last test 40 invited. Only 10 showed up. 3 of them passed.
-
No. Everything is based on union contracts. We just ratified ours. We haven’t had a contract in almost 3.5 years. The contract we just signed expires April 2023. It’s usually around 2-2.5% a year when contracts are signed.
-
MNRR is a 7 year progression. That’s too long for so much responsibility
-
Welcome. The signals part of the test is just gonna show you the image of signal and you have write down the name. The signals indication will be part of the definitions test. It will say the name of the signals and you write out the indication.
-
It’s not 365 working days. It’s 365 calendar days. By the year anniversary when you get hired you’ll get the 20% increase and every 365 calendar after that. I was the 3rd class in the new progression
-
It’s a four year progression now. It’s 60-1st year. 2nd year 80%. 3rd year 90% 4th year is 100%. Before it was 70% then straight to 100% when you qualify. That got voted out in 2015.
-
It was mixed in. Your gonna get a packet with all of them in it.

Medical yes. My sons hospital visit was almost $90K for 4 days. They paid it. Just paid the hospital copay which was $100 I think
-
Our medical is NYSHIP. a combination of United healthcare and bluecross blue Shield. Dental is MetLife primary and secondary is delta dental and vision is eye meds. Medical is $25 copay. Any urgent cares is $35. My sons medication is around $5-10 a month. Anything that is an annual visit is no copay. I have flex spending for the copays and medications. Our eye meds vision only pays for the exam and like $15 for frames. That’s why we use our union supplemental plan. Covers lenses and frames up to $150.
