We gonna be classmates then. We got tss carney and tss yueng. Carney is my personal favorite TSS cause he's so knowledgeable and his sarcastic style is actually pretty funny to me. yueng is dry as hell. We had him for road ops one of our last weeks and none of us particularly enjoyed him but he knows his shit too. But carney seems to know that rule book and every aspect of that job in and out.

Yuen is cool he was one my SchoolCar TSS. My class had Carney for our finals at the school

I'm extra extra still as a conductor so idk how that will play out for me sadly

Not sure how it works in RTO, but shouldn't affect your seniorty as a C/R.

Did you take it as open competitive or promotional?

I took it as O/C

How does it work would I be able to go back to my conductor job since I passed my c/r probation? Because this test is open competitive when I took it and not promotional is there any draw backs?

I came from buses and went back to buses. Unfortunately I had an incident when I was posting(beginning of my 2nd week) I was having fun always wanted to be a T/O since I was a kid. Anyway made it out on my own but I always had my incident on my mind and woke up day after day not wanting to go to work anymore. I made the decision to go back to buses. It's a voluntary demotion. I didn't lose my seniority since I went back before 1 year. Also MOW(the helmets ain't hard to remember) the signals ain't difficult to memorize after a while you will be saying them in your sleep.

What's your list number and when did you go for pre employment ? 

I went for P/E on May 15th my list number is low 860's. I already work for NYCT as a B/O. I'm just ready to get out of the that sit and into a cab. I seen some in the 850 range get called for Medical for Thursday and some others what lower numbers get called for Wednesday. I'm hoping to get an email on Tuesday to be invited in on Friday. Wishful thinking and patiently waiting. I know the process very well. 

Did anyone in the 860s recieve a medical email? Im hoping we get an email next week in the 860s good luck to all that will be going for medical/final processing next week. 

I got a call and an email to come in on Wednesday 5/15. List number 86* Hopefully what they is true 3rd time is Charm as this is my 3rd time for P/E. Childhood Dream Job becoming a reality.

To have a decent chance of getting out early, make sure your the first one to sign in on the clipboard downstairs so you can be the first one to sign in on the clipboard upstairs 

I was out by 1230p today. Here's why they call more people then they need. Reasons are people defer(because they live in Florida, or other parts of the state, isn't the right time for them etc...), fail drug test, get placed on medical hold(sleep apnea will have you on medical hold for 30 days if you have it and need to get the cpap. Machine etc...) lots of reasons they call so many extra candidates. They want to make sure they enough candidates to fill the classes.

Just received my letter for pre-employement on Dec 4th. My list # 184*. 

I’m currently a B/O and since i haven’t completed my year of probation yet i’m going to decline the position. 

Hey one less to worry about lmao. Wanna wish you all the best and hope yall get in before this Big time L train shut down! 

When do you clear probation? I clear mine December 26th but Train Operator is a childhood dream of mine. I can't pass that up.

What to expect when I go for pre employment on 11/16 we just fill out paperwork and do a medical. Does transit have a packet we have to fill out? 

Fill out the paperwork they sent you. They will give you 3 more papers to fill out that day. You will be sent to the lab for a Drug Test. They will give you "Homework" which is a 21 page booklet for your work history etc..... But for Pre Employment no medical is done that day. Medical will be another day when they want to hire you(which they will email/call you) 

Pre-Employment Medical? Do you have Pre-employment or did you do pre. Employment already and now you have to do medical/final processing? 

Got my letter for P/E my text me list #86* and I report on 11/13(Tuesday). Hopefully I can get in and out again like last time because I will need to nap as I have work later that night operating a bus. 

Well my list # went from the 820's to 860's

This article might be of interest to those who are about to undergo the intense 10-day training session. Note that in my Bus Operating experience, I can definitely relate to these "close calls" on more than one occasion.

My apologies for going off-topic, however I was thinking of you folks as soon as I saw the article.

We always try to be aware of our surroundings. I always try to keep my 4 feet distance but it's hard in the city. So I just slow it down when I can't "get fat"... And if I'm unsure I give a tap of the horn and if that doesn't work I stop until I can get my spacing to pass the vechile if unsure what the motorist may do.
