Thanks bro !!! 

List # 164X and officially a Conductor as of today. 

Saw I received another medical email but for a different date, looks like I’ll be with @Emme0403 on Wednesday morning instead of Tuesday.

The second urinalysis is to check your sugar. Goodluck with the medical you’re almost there. 

 

I’ve been seeing a bunch of new classes recently, just yesterday I saw a class of conductors doing road ops. To everyone waiting just be patient. Seems like every week there’s a retirement party or someone getting a shoutout via the radio for retiring. 

Thanks bro for the support. Truly appreciate everything you and others have posted to keep us all informed. 

Is it possible to postpone the medical for a later date? 

Was confused because I read on this thread that at the medical, they take another urine test.  Is that true? Or they only doing the physical with no urine being taken? 

Just checked and saw I’m being considered for Conductor and have to be at 180 this Tuesday for my medical. It’s for an August 19th class. List number is 164X.

What are the odds that they have already filled up the July class?  155x and still waiting on the email. 

I was thinking the same thing too bro. But since the vacancies to be filled for conductors is no where near the amount called in for school car, all we can do is have hope, be more patient, and enjoy the rest of the summer until that email comes. All I’m wondering is if there is an August class for conductors because there are rumors that one is confirmed for T/O, but I’m just going by what I read off the T/O thread. If anyone can verify a class for conductors this August, that would be awesome.

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.

Just like everyone else been saying, just listen attentively and follow all their directions, you will do fine. I took mine last year October and passed. I was nervous too but once you are there and actually take it, you will be more at ease. My list # is 16xx by the way.

My understanding is that several months ago they finished calling everyone who passed the promotIonal conductor exam. They may have had mixed classes with open competitive and promotional candidates. Transit is obligated to call everyone for processing who passes promotional exams - they aren't required to do so for open-competitive exams and never do so with popular ones like conductor, train operator or track worker.

An open competitive 8094 class just began and I think there will be at least one more 8094 class before they begin calling from 6601. 

Perhaps there will be 3-4 months of 8094 classes before they start calling from 6601, that's what I'd like to know - when 8094 ends and 6601 begins. 

Thanks for the clarification, but what about during the winter months? I could be wrong but I believe the forum for 8094 mentioned that they usually do not hold classes during the winter months but again, I could be wrong.

8094 doesn't expire until Feb 2018 even though not as many people took it as 6601 I don't think they would be able to exhaust it before it expires

I agree but I read from another forum that some who took the promotional exam was being called and attend the same classes as the ones who took the open competitive for 8094. I could be wrong but I have not seen or read anywhere that said that they have stopped hiring promos.

Would anybody have an idea on how many more people took exam # 6601 compared to # 8094?

Got 3 wrong on the test and got the letter asking me to come in on Oct 12 didn't receive it until Saturday. 

That is great news, congrats!!!!!

Just curious if the MTA employees who took the promotional exam to become conductors are still being called in along with the ones who took the open competitive exam # 8094?

I got 4 wrong.. looking like I’ll get a letter with the next wave that they send out, which could b like a yr from now lol. At least the list is starting to move

But in all honesty 2nice, you just might receive a letter before the week or even the month ends, just stay positive and congrats on getting only 4 wrong. 

Morning everyone

This is my first time posting but have been trolling this forum and others for quite some time. I also received a letter to take the OPA on 10/17/2017 for 10:30AM. After looking over my proposed answer sheet, I thank GOD that I have only 3 wrong. I would like to extend all the best wishes to those who have received an OPA letter already. Also, the ones who have not received their OPA letter yet, still got a lot of time left before Exam # 8094 finally ends next year February. (Praying that it actually ends, because its been a long 10 years for that same exam, lol)
