normally IIRC you contact the union and see if you can try it in the A division, IF they have openings there they let you otherwise you have to resign

The TSS who was training us contacted one of the superintendents to see if they can try it in the A division and was given the okay. It really definitely depends on who is the TSS and if they care enough to reach out to higher ups to get you another chance.

It’s hard getting difficult news..I got disqualified because I couldnt reach the top bar on the train..I felt like they could of gave me a chance on the smaller trains,but I got the boot instead..it sucks, and I’m not giving up..put my name back on the restoration list..we shall see what happens..good luck everyone

Nah that's crazy. I got hired in September 2021 and it was two women who couldn't climb the train. They let both of them stay and One was supposed to be in the B division but they put her in the A because she couldn't climb the B division trains but she could climb the smaller trains in the A

Been out on the road a couple weeks now and I’m just giving a heads up to the students currently in school car and or about to start training with transit, crew office (people responsible for scheduling) told us flat out not to expect AMs/morning shifts anytime soon for extra extra (you guys will be extra extra coming out of training for months, possibly a few years). There’s none available. It will only be evenings and midnight shifts. 

what division are you in?

Hey guys! I have some good news. A TSS told us the October class is going to have 100 students!

My TSS just said next class will be about 40 and the Nov class will have 100 and its also going to be an Dec class too. So if anyone is  waiting to be called. Get ready because they need a lot of C/R. Keep an look out for those emails.

You can always transfer to the B division after a year I think lol 

nope thats not what they said. The only way we can switch is when we can actually pick which can be years. Unless they really need ppl and they take us from the A. They might ask us or just draft the ones with less seniority.

Yeah that happened  to you because my class (July) majority of my classmates chose the B division (better division) and about two people were forced to go to the A. They only had about 20 students out of 70 go to the A division. The rest of of us are B. I’m sure next class everyone will be able to choose again 

Yeah yeah yeah just rub it in my face. "B division (best division). 😫😭😭😭

52 C/R in the class only 8 spots for the B and the rest was for the A. Ugh i had to go to the A so annoyed because i live in Brooklyn. Just my luck!

- You should get a clearance letter before you go to the medical. It will make everything easier.

- There are no rules about tattoos.

- They will be testing for marijuana. Even though it's legal this title will not allow you to use it or have it in your system. You will be disqualified.

- A medical prescription will not be accepted. It won't make any difference. 

Do you start on the 13th

Pretty sure they’re in the mid 2800’s by now. I’d call (347) 643-8217 or email rtoemploymentoperations@nyct.com and ask. You’d probably get a quicker response by email as they don’t answer the phone that much. They seem to answer in the late afternoons though. 

Nah they pass those numbers already. They calling almost to 3000

Hey Guys,

 

Freaking out a little over here. I got called in tomorrow at 6:30 for medical. I'm trying to do the Cority questionnaire. I was originally sent by Ms Olha an example sheet for bus operator. I spoke to her earlier today and she assured me that once I go online that there would be one for conductor. I'm on there now and theres no such thing. Did anyone else experience this? 

Type in OHS-HQ and when you done with that one type in HEARCONS. Both have to be done

Dont worry because mostly everyone including myself did the one on the paper and they just had us do it on the computer there. Just make sure you complete the attached documents.

Another dumb question guys. I took the drug test on Friday. Medical exam is next, how long between the drug test and medical did you have to wait? Not sure if I'll make the September 13th class.

I took my drug test on the 23rd was called two days later on the 25th to report for my medical on the 27th. Now this doesn't mean it would be the same for you. It depends on how many more ppl they need to fill this up coming class. I have a feeling you will make the class tho so keep an look out for the email and phone call. Good luck
