Yeah, thanks superman465. Only time will tell. It's a serious job and a big responsibility so, can't rush into it. I'm pretty sure you will but, stay focused out there man and good luck.  

Well the verdict is in and I'm out!  At least, for now anyway, on a medical hold until I can see my Dr. 

Unfortunately for me that won't be until first week in Jan. The Good news is there's still a Jan.30 class on the table but, at this point i'm saying whatever. An unexplainable discrepancy in one of my exams so doc. needs more clearance. Never had as much as a broken nose but this is a federally regulated position so everything must fit perfectly.  A Long day with a somewhat frustrating end. Truthfully, I wasn't too keen about starting on Monday anyway but, wasn't going to chance it. However, the decision was made for me so it's back to waiting. The MTA Dr. doesn't think it's a big deal but, the timing is bad depending on how I look at it. If I can continue I'll get back on but for now, I've lost too much sleep over this already so, in the meantime, I'm just going relax over the holidays and what will be will be. Good luck to those still in the game  and maybe I'll see you in Jan. Peace! 

Yeah, thanks but if I have to go Dec. 26 then I'm going. I can't let this opportunity pass me by the time is now.  Scared money don't make money. I'll update those interested after Tuesday for the finally verdict. And, If I am in on the 26 maybe we can link up. And. to NYCguy2020. I'll definitely chronicle my journey through this because I'm checking older post from others now to learn from their experiences. So it's Each one Teach one friend. Peace.

Congrats great news if they don't let you start in january I suggest you make that jump and go for it. I did 20 years at fedex and currently 8 years as a doorman and I am not looking back full steam ahead lol. Difficult decision are a part of life never second guess yourself good luck hope to see you on the rails one day.

Finally, I'M IN, DAMN!

I just received my email to come in for final processing on Tuesday for the Dec.26 class. However, I'm hoping to postpone this until Jan. 30 because It's really last minute and I'd like to tie up some loose ends on my current job. Plus, this is a real life changer so, I'd like to "defrag"  a bit before embarking on this new career. But, if not, I'm just thankful I was called. As of last week this class was not full so, that's a big reason I was processed so quickly.  Thanks to Superman465, Ladyrockstar, mikeemms1, and all the real people on here chronicling their process it was a big help. Boy, I'll tell ya, the MTA administrative processing is horrible. They are completely overwhelmed by the applicant pool. After being skipped Twice and giving them all my information they still typed my name wrong..LOL... I can laugh about it now but it wasn't funny a few months back. I'll update this after tuesday especially for ladyrockstar because if they allow me to wait until January that might open up a sit for you! Good Luck to all 

Hey quick update There will be a Jan.30 class 

Neither have I...

Because there isn't this guy is a liar him and his trusted "souse" spell check first then I'll believe. His lead isn't the only thing he's blowing. Ignore please. 

Hey my list #7*** did they just skip me I read they up to 8+++ any help would be nice

join the club Fatboy77, reinstated my list# and everything still getting skipped. smh.  But they say there's a Jan. class

@Ladyrockstar, thanks for the update. What your saying makes sense but, i haven't even been call for the first drug test and I restored my name  in October. I figured people would restore their names and that some of those names would go ahead of me anyway but, people behind me are getting notices and I'm wondering will they skip me again. It's just frustrating because you go from thinking you have no chance at the job to thinking you do to then thinking your getting skipped/screwed etc. And, it's next to impossible to talk to a live person on the phone with accurate information. I agree that the automated system is after the fact information. It seems their almost through the entire list, and no confirmation on the Jan. class i suppose?

Oh ok this will be my second visit I will keep you updated

Good luck superman465. I'm don't get how they are doing this.  It doesn't seem to have and order whatsoever. I've restored my name and still no call. The DCAS automated service # is saying 7951 last eligible appointed. I'm back on an outstanding certification again after they initially took me off. I wonder will i get a letter on a sat. or next week before the holiday. This would be the second time I was skipped if I don't hear something soon. 

No one said they are scheduled for the Nov. 28th class.. 

 

AyeO - I thought I was emotional.. You lost it 3 pages ago..

 

You have to read or write carefully..  Seems like you are really bugging the fugg out..  One day it's MTA the next day it's God's plan..

 

Do you want attention or are you really trying to get info..

Dude, shut up seriously. troll somewhere else. 

I just took the drug test on Sept 7 now waiting on final call which is the physical.

Yeah, I  remember your post. But it seems like others are already schedule for a Nov 28 class. If there is a class in late Dec., I would likely need to do prelims. this week. You should still be in good shape if there is one so good luck. I was hoping to at least start the prelims before filling of the next exam. I don't want to pay for another exam when I'm eligible for the current list. 

I haven't even gotten a first call yet and some of you are already scheduled for a Nov.28 class..

anybody get contact recently for prelims etc.?

Yeah, that's what i thought wow! Well, I guess it was for the best I didn't get called during that period. God  really knows best. So, there's no need to curse out the MTA i guess..LOL  It's just frustrating but, thanks for the info and the support. I know it's not easy waiting that would have been a problem for me too.  But I'll tell ya, that automated message is bogus because at that time those numbers didn't move, a guy on here actually said the #'s were in 8k's too. Oh well, maybe I'll get a letter soon and I see you in class. Last year class didn't start until dec 28. just put it in God's hands and let it be. At least, that's what I need to do. Thanks friend!

My list # 8248 took the drug test now waiting for second call for physical. It's been 33 business days but who's counting lol!

Whaaatt!  I really feel screwed over. not hating friend just saying. I know there's people out there who've restored their #'s  that are ahead of me too but, at least you got a letter. In a perfect world we'd all go in the next class but, I know better. But, that interesting, 33 business days  huh? So, if I'm right, you were likely called in or around that labor day week? That's really helpful information thanks for the timeline  because if true It may have been a blessing I wasn't called during that period. I'm just trying to find some positives on being skipped. smh. great reply Superman465

I'm still waiting on a call for physical they said 3 to 90 days!

really, what's your list #? . and how long have you been waiting. I think they will go through all the eligible names on the list but, not all of those will be appointed obviously. either man congrats and good luck  

I hear Nov 28th next class

 

Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

thanks Superman465, I guess that means I'm out can't image I could be processed that quickly. smh! good luck to those in that class if indeed it is on that date. Last year I think it was around 12/28 

Does anybody have any idea on when or, if there's a next class starting? Ive been restored but now no longer on an outstanding certification. last year it was around December looking back on older posting mikeeems1 was a big help. I'd prefer not to pay for the next exam plus, they skipped me for some reason seems kind of unfair. I've received other information from them but the main letter they don't have my address or skip me? c'mon

FWIW I've had my name restored and DCAS told me be on the look out in the next few weeks for the pre-employment letter. I'm realizing now that even with the pre-employment letter it could still be a mute point considering the fact the MTA could freeze on hiring or others could be reinstated ahead of me. So, it's better than not receiving the letter but, I can't get too excited. With the next exam approaching it seems like a good way to collect new application fees for people still on the current list who haven't been called along with other first timers. I've also heard the 2nd avenue line will likely open on 12/31 and they'll be running test trains soon. I'm not sure if this will help my situation or others but, you never know. A little disappointing how I was skipped but it's the MTA so, a lot of what they do doesn't make sense. 

List is moving as of today.  Unfortunately, my name has been taken off the list why? I can request restoration but, how or, why would it come off in the first place? I was waiting the whole time for my letter. They know my address because they sent me information for conductor as well as, informing me I'm on the list for Train Operator. Plus, now they've moved beyond my number so, does that mean I'm out of the next upcoing

class whenever that is? 

Also, I have a friend who's list number was likely called months ago but he probably never gave them a change of address. Can he still get on board through restoration filing? Any help, advice, etc. is appreciated. 

After 4 months of waiting since my first visit (I did another drug test and more paperwork 2 weeks ago since they told me the drug test is no good after 3 months) I am officially in and starting Monday. My friend who took the test with me got his first letter to go in next week and his number is 83**. My number is 69**.

 

This is the most surreal feeling I've had in a minute. Hoping for A division!! LOL!

congrats friend! But, I really hope your wrong about your friends list number being 83** 

Hi. Sorry for the delay in response. I dont know why i was DQ'd. As mentioned, i have a squeaky clean record (not even a speeding ticket in all my yrs of driving) and no explaination was given over the automated system. The only thing i can think of would be a discrepancy about my yrs of employement. In any case i got my pre-employment letter for test 8094 (Conductor) so im not stressing it at the moment. Sorry i couldnt provide more info.

No problem, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm wondering if they DQ'd your application because you went through the conductor application process first. I recently declined the invitation to fill out paperwork for conductor because according to the DCAS auto message, I'm not too far away so, I'll take my chances.  Anyhow, good luck to you on the Conductor position, in the long run it's still a good job and you can always be promoted. cheers!

Turns out that, according to the automated DCAS system, i was found to be disqualified. Not sure why. Ive been working for 10yrs steady and have no record or any points on my license. 

Whoa, Whoa! What?  Please sir, would you update the rest of us on some of the specifics as to why you were DQ'd?  If you've since found out why and, it's something which you prefer not to say I can understand and will assume it's an isolated incident specific to your situation.  Sorry this has happened to you or anybody because I'm anticipating a possible letter/call as well. thanks in adv.
