Aahhhwoooooo

Good luck Riello2u and kmf. As far the new exam 8600 list, that won't be ready til 2019-2020. Still plenty of time for 3600 to be called from. Keep your head up Young.

What is the starting pay rate for new hires now?

The track diagram questions were toward the end of the exam for me.  I advise that you make pencil marks next to wrong answers so you don't get confused when flipping pages back and forth to view the diagram and the following questions.  Good luck to the rest of you all!

Called DCAS today and they finally updated the last appointed # : 1031. I'm still on outstanding certification with list #143x. I'm guessing my preemployment step will happen sometime mid/late summer. Anyone with an higher number receive anything in the mail? Thanks!

I'm #131X and still haven't received any notice to come for testing yet so don't worry, I'll post an update as soon as I go in for testing.

How is training so far for those in the most recent class?

Thanks KMF. I'm predicting 2018 for most of us after 1300

So what does DCAS mean when they say the "last list # certified is 18XX" ?

I just called too and it says I am on outstanding certification as well. Thanks guys, I wasn't aware DCAS had that automated system

finally got in touch with them today they still say 944. what number did you call?

I called (347) 643-7221. Then probably hit 3 or 4, the one related to exam list numbers. They were going to transfer me over but a guy was kool enough to look into the system and give me that info. Says i should be on outstanding certification in another 6 months or so. Im #131X just to give you an idea.

Based on your username, I believe your asking for a very specific reason. Lol

Why would you say that? My username is supposed to sound like a wolf's howl when pronounced. But lets not get off topic or else we'll be corrected.

How many chances are you given if you fail a drug test?

Can anyone post any updates about the new classes and last confirmed hire #?

Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

A very large class eh? Any guestimate on the size of that large class?

 

Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

Only if you pick a job that requires a CDL will Transit pay for any training needed.

Thanks for the info dp142!

Will the MTA help with getting a CDL license if I have the permit already?

That's correct. As far as a discount on purchasing a regular Metrocard for your family and/or friends...no.

That's great to know. Thanks again Young. Anyone plan on taking T/O exam in December?

So a member of the site, who wishes to remain anonymous, sent me the following update:

 

"the current track worker class is in the upper 800's to lower 900's & the instructors are saying that they are going to have 3 more classes coming up in DEC,JAN,FEB, at 40 students per class cause the MTA wants to get to about 2200 track workers soon. right now they are at 1948."

 

DISCLAIMER: My list number for this exam is in the 2800's, so I still have a ways to go before they call me for this position.

Much appreciated Young and anonymous individuals for the info. Being a college student again and currently unemployed is tough. I'm hoping I can make it in. Would like to have a job that guarantees pay increase. Also, do Mta workers receive discounts on Metrocards?

How is training going for those who just got in? Can anyone fill me in with some details?
