Couldn't agree more, but as long you follow the zerega you will make it. I love it so far as well. Something I wanted to do. Doing what you want imo will make you (I) happy. I look forward to going to do what I love.
Just to add on to what 161 said. If your TA and take or if you have taken the conductor or Train Operator exam and get called(been TA) if it don' t work out then you can go back to B/O(within a 1 year) TA you get your time where was coming from OA into a TA title you would have to start over (as far as how long you would have to work) Only thing when working in a other position ewhen your already TA you will lose seniority.
It's a new thing that they are doing, they assign you a mentor for 2 weeks, you follow the operators schedule for ex. My opetator rdo's are m,t and he works w-s so that' wwhen I work. It' aadditional Training to cover what the 7-10 days didn't.
How's it going, hope everyone is enjoying there depots. Right now I'm in KB for the mentor program, then after 2 weeks I will go to my assigned depot for line training.
Fun day today I love that new flyer. The rts is cool because I love that steering wheel but not meant for big people lol. The nova I feel like im a captain of a ship lol. I do like like the way they accelerate tho.
How is training going for 12/26? Hope all are going well. Today was Day 4 I loved going through the El Pillars. I loved the snow it was great. I only messed up one acute turn because I wasnt properly set up(it was an extremely tight turn onto a two way street). I'm excited for Monday the concrete jungle aka Manhattan. Happy Year everybody and good luck to all of the 12/26 class!
