  1. Hello to all, Someone I know told me that they was called to come down for the medical screening for this exam (4600) and while filling out the questionnaire they checked that they had higher than normal blood pressure. Although All test taking was cleared including the blood pressure. When they seen the last doctor, he told them that because they expressed a blood pressure issue that they have to get tested( on their own) for Sleep apnea. Have anyone else experienced this type of situation during the medical screening for this title? thanks in advance and good luck to all
  2. Yes you can, but you will have to Resign with the LIRR. Make sure you do your due diligence with the NYCT title before you give up what you have.
  3. Thanks again, and your right, its a bit off topic but if any one here has the experience the application just cane out on 4/8/16 for SME ( Structure maintainer E) which is for MTA plumbers. And they probably will be hiring people from this exam as provisionals.
  4. Youre not lying i got 103 on that sanitation test my list number was in the 4000's lol. Almost 100k people took that test
  5. Good job stevenyc keeping everyone updated although you already made it to a class, most guys on here just vanished once they were sworn in. I have a question do you know what trade the maintainers were that you were in orientation with? Example masons, carpenters, plumbers etc. They have been hiring alot of maintainers lately. Thanks in advance
  6. They wont hire you until you pay those tickects. I seen guys have to run to DMV to pay and come back with proof of payment.
  7. Same here spike, 40hr in two days including paid sleep time... it burns you out though. Picked up some well needed OTO. I dont think we will see anymore 5+ inches of snow anymore this year, its been really mild
  8. I know of atleast two people who said they never received any correspondence for a test date...
  9. Thats a fact! Any time u pick up a shovel thats time and a half..
  10. I thought the 3 in 1 rule only applied to promotional posistions also.
  11. Those guys that got picked out must have picked "x" or "temp" jobs those jobs are not solid Upo were u able to get in capital nights? If so how do u like it?
  12. I Seen guys standing on the 3rd rail protection boards. Sitting having their lunch on the 3rd rail protection boards ( with their key chain hanging from the side of their pants). Thats crazy to me. Those boards dont even look sturdy. And u dont know when they can give. I have worked 17yrs union construction on the out side and i seen how fast an accident can happen. And 600 volts is nothing i want to play around with.
  13. FYI ALWAYS treat that 3rd rail as if its live! ALWAYS! and stay on point on those tracks those trains are unforgiving! When i went for flagging i seen seasoned guys do some dangerous things. And i pray i never get that comfortable. Be safe out there!!
  14. You are partially correct. Some guys can retire but dont want to for what ever reason. And other just came in at a late age 40+ and dont have the time in. Or you can have guys that didnt do the right thing with their money throughout their career and they are forced to keep working. Different situations...
