I would like to know how many people are in this class, im sure we will find out soon enough although i cant see it being more than 30 ppl. For the rest of us just stay patient and take care of any tickets u may have and get all the info. They have been asking for... Ps. For those waiting, this is Probably a good time to work on your CDL permit.

Still looking for any information on the structure B masons or any structure position. Any input well appreciated, thanks

Been seeing your journey from the beginning of this thread, congratulations to you, its show having patients and being consistent helps. Congrats again, keep us informed as you move along

good luck to you British, seems like you been on a rough road, get that info they are asking for and stay on top of them

congrats bro! after getting a first call in Jan and waiting for 3 months they got back to you all in one week nice! congrats again and keep us updated...

Went in for first time today list #32x , from 7:30am didnt get out of there until 1pm. I wasnt able to get much info. on who is who. there was a decent amount of potential trackworkers there ( if I had to guess I would say about 50-80), half for the first time and half for the second. I also seen alot bus operaters, so it was hard to tell. the new waiting time is 3-90 days. " and we will contact you" ( thats what I was told). Here is some info. I was able to get, The next class is May/18/2015 and they sworn in up to list #157 ( that does not mean 157 people were hired but allegedly thats the highest number sworn in, thats what I heard from a HR person). once again good luck to everyone, and if you make the next class update all those who are waiting, believe it or not it helps. not everyone has a current entertaining job like my self that enjoys the type of entertainment I go through everyday a work , to keep them occupied unil MTA calls lol, so share your MTA experience if possible once again Good Luck to everyone!

Thanks filterdnoiz, i appreciate your feed back your the only one from this first class that continued to come back to this forum and keep everyone upto date on whats going on. On behalf of everyone here i tip my hat to you bro! I have read this whole thread from the beginning and some have asked some weird questions lol. But for the most part i think most is a little eager and nervous and dont want to blow their shot. I mean MTA has a reputation to just say "its not your time, we will call you when we feel like it", with no explanation. Look at the guys that got extra points with out even asking for them, that sucks. Once again thanks and be safe out there!

I dont know what that is about the letter i received says "pre interview and medical examination" which will inculded a hearing test, did your letter say the same or it just stated a urine test? Also how long were you in there for. thanks for your input...

Did you get any info. ? I have not heard anything or met anyone thats in this department as of yet.

If you dont mind Filterdnoiz, when you get a chance can you just explain what your process was? becasue of this second letter roll out Iam sure alot of old questions are going to resurface. for example.... -from your letter( about interview/medical) after drug test/ pre interview, what was the next step and how long did it take? -during interview/medical what kind of tests were you giving and did you get a verbal interview? -from your interview/medical letter to the actual hire date, how long did that take? - how long was traning? -what kind of job schedules( am, pm) was available when you picked a job? -what kind of days off was avaible, during your pick? - Do they offer vacaton time( if so what was available), or you have to pass probation before you get vacation? hope I covered everything, thanks for your input and good luck out there..

So they didnt give you a full medical, or just a urine test? I though they give a full medical being that the letter said it could be an all day process.

My list number in the 32x and i got a letter this weekend to come in on 4/9

filterdnoiz, are you still in class with structure B masons, or did they split you guys up at this point?

Noone huh? Do anyone even know a structure b mason? Or anyone in the structure department? Just trying to find out some info. From a person thats on the job. Thanks

Ill bet its people that been on the job for years that still dont have a clue, running around like they are high on drugs. lol

@ilterdnoiz thanks for the input, if its not to much to ask and you run into them again can you ask if they are from the 5603 mason exam title or not ( structure has multiple positions ex. b, e, g etc.) it would be nice to know. once again thanks for your input its more then I was able to gather up online in the last couple of weeks. thanks again,

I can honesty tell you that my list # is in the early 300 ( less than 350) and I have not heard anything from MTA through mail or phone call about a medical or drug test. when i called the automated system today it said the certified # is 775. I dont know what that means but I know it dont mean thats the last person they contacted for a medical because I wasnt contacted as of yet. Could I be wrong absolutely but I doubt it. reading through some of the other topics in this forum it seems like HR has different numbers to handle different departments. does anyone know whats the HR # for track workers? If so that would be the best choice to find out info. IMHO. Be patient and take every civil service exam that you can. even if your working for another department and " tracks " call you, you can give it a shot and still keep your pension and retirement time. so keep pushing everyone!

not to stray away from this post. but the guys from the structure B mason that you were in class with. do you know if they where called from putting in an application for exam 5603 or from the provisional ( temporary) openings mta had on their website? I know about the practical test. but before that you have to be qualified through education and experience before the practical. and the exam 5603 just came out in NOV of 2014.I never heard of Mta putting people on so soon even from a skilled traded exam. thanks for your info. also,its well appreciated

Also did the track workers get a new contract also? and if so did it rasie the starting and or top pay? thanks in advance

Im also on the waiting list for track workers also my list number is in the early 300. Im wating for this and I also sent in an application for the structure B mason exam. If the first class has 30 people I wonder how far up the list they went. also how many people although they didnt make the first class will be called for the next class. It seems like although they only need 30 people they still call up to 100 plus at a time. good luck to all and to everyone thats in that first class, I guess its safe to say they made it...

I hear you Im also in the mason union going on my 16th year, it will be a big pay cut but the construction industry is changing big time, and the unions seems to be loosing their strength. and I agree with you this will be a great job if I got it also. I dont know how many posistions they have available but the job security and bennies is great in the MTA. It would be great to speak to someone that is a mason for MTA to get some info. and a feel on this job. thanks for the reply

I, put in an application for exam 5603 structure B mason.And I Was wondering if there are any structure B masons members of this forum. And if any members also applied for this MTA position. Any help appreciated. Thanks
