    The itinerary they gave says that you don’t need them until Tuesday the 11th. I think you’ll be fine - especially considering you have 3 days before you start. 

    OK the extra day will help alot still worried though since we have to wait a day or two to order them, I'd rather not start off by showing up out of uniform because of a late delivery.

    Ordered my boots Thursday night, got them yesterday. Caterpillars. Very very comfortable from just trying them on. 

    Wow you have me worried I take my medical tomorrow I hope I get them quick enough if I am asked to start on the 10th

    Yeah the last number hired was 1320 so it's in 40 people in June and July then they'll be up to list number 1400 by August I'm assuming. Which is when my PE will expire which means I'll be back again since the drug test expires every 3 months.

    That assumes no one defers, gets medical hold, doesn't show up to PE, fail drug test, etc.  It should be well past 1400 I imagine by August

    I'm confused; I entered my name (I'm on the T/O list), and saw It list me as requested on 5/2, but does this really mean the city is requesting 225 new t/o's? I'm slightly down the list in the 111x range.

    I don't know if they stick to those numbers to be honest but it does mean they are tapping that list for T/O's, and should be contacting some people for Pre-Employment. I am only on the C/R list and didn't test for T/O because I lacked a drivers license at the time of the test. So I don't follow it or know what list # they are currently up to perhaps you can ask within the 7604 thread....

    Is there a link to check for train operator vacancies as well?

    I don't know exactly how to pull that up. However if you enter 06704 into the search box on the link below you'll see that there is a request for 225 TO's made on 5/7. Follow that up by searching your name and you will see how far down that list you are. C/R's can do the same by searching 06601 instead of 06704. Hope this helps everyone out...

    Anyone in the 1300’s get called for PE yet? Please note, I took the OPA back in April. Appears that numbers are all over the place. 

    Yes people in the 1300's got called. I am in the high 1400's and my PE letter got lost in the mail. I only knew about it this week even though they sent me a notice on back in may. You should call ms Vargas at (347) 643-8218 on a weekday and ask if you were sent a pre-employment letter. Best of luck

    How much time do they give you to listen to the recording and view the images? Can you take notes? Is the interview one on one or group? Thanks I’m nervous as hell. 

    it's like 5 two minute recordings that they play once.  You have the time you need to look at the images but honestly you should only need to glance at them.

    Is it difficult?

    First part is multiple choice memory they play a recording and ask your questions about what was discussed within it. The second part they show you images and ask you questions about what is going on within them. It isn't difficult per se but the second part feels like an interview so if you are uncomfortable in situations like that be prepared for that.

    Some of them tend to just say anything to rush you off the phone. Try calling Ms Vargas tomorrow and explain your situation. She's in control of hiring C/R's and she's very helpful.

    Her number is 347-643-8218

    Yes I tried that number a few times during the day but couldn't get through. It's tough for me to continue trying I cannot be on my phone all day at work. Thank you though :)

    Have you tried calling them to see if maybe your letter in the mail got lost?

    I tried calling them today but was told the list # was up to 342. I told them that I realized that and I wasn't asking if I was in the next class but wanted to know if a pre-employment letter was sent my way because I am in the low 1400's and I live in a spot where my mail service is very suspect. He just kept repeating no the list is up to 342... I'll try again tomorrow and hope to get someone more helpful.

    So I have the OPA tomrrow guys I'm extremely nervous and dont know what to expect. I was also wondering what type of attire should I wear to the OPA tomorrow.

    Dress however you like no need to be dressed super sharp at all. The first part they will play a recording then you will have to answer few questions based on your memory of it so just pay close attention and you will be fine.  For the second part they will show you pictures and you describe what is going on I was nervous because this seemed like an interview so I wasn't at my best, but I still passed. 

    Try to get there early so you can be at the front of the line because you will have to wait as everyone does the interview portion individually and if you are last expect to be there waiting for 3 hours plus .

    Good Luck!

    Hey there, my list number is in the 900’s and I called and I’m on outstanding certification. But I have not taken the OPA. Do you think I will be asked to take the OPA soon? 

    I don't know why you wouldn't have received a request to take the OPA.  My only guess is perhaps you have changed your address since the time of the test if you have done so then make DCAS aware of it. Going by the information we have it seems they are hiring only 200 so it's unlikely they will get up to your number with these classes but you wouldn't be too far behind as some will inevitably bow out for reasons  like medical/drug test/no longer want the position.

    If that information is correct, it looks like the MTA are in need of  a lot of Conductors, because it looks like the initial request was for 2000 candidates . That is the most requested in over a year.  

    Unfortunately they are requesting only for 200  vacancies  that second # is probably only there so they can process that many to allow for people who turn down the job fail drug test OPA etc.

  14. Well if this information is accurate it would appear they will start calling some people soon. It shows them having 200 vacancies to fill under the conductor role

    you can go to the link below and search "06601" then sort by cert seq number to see your current spot in line as there are a few still on the promotional list that may be called as well.

    Good luck everyone, hopefully people start getting called in for medical and drug testing soon so this list can start moving.
