Congrats! I know a few people that didn't have have there Cdl permit and kept them there thru the pre employment then when called to counter to check there paperwork they told them to come back when they had their permit. I know starting pay is 23.26 per hour top pay was 29 and change I'm not sure if it's a little more because the starting pay went up. If you have your permit and you will be sent for RT which you have 3 chances to pass(but not all on the same day, somebody correct me if I'm wrong)

I went to 180 today and they sent me to medical they took a copy of my polysomnography report. I told the person at the front why I was there and he told me it doesn't hurt to see the doctor again maybe they will lift off Medical hold(which they didn't) I will be returning in September and if my MTA still has the list then I don't have to go to dcas to restore my name on the list. If I was going for Mabsota or bus company I wouldn't have to worry about possible going to dcas to restore my name on the list. Hopefully MTA still has the TA list in September when i return.

Thank you, yes I will go down tomorrow morning and let them know. I doubt they will let me process which is OK I just don't want to think I'm not interested in the position because I am 110% just have a little bump in the road. I'll see what they and I'll report back.

I'm in a bind on what to do. I got on medical hold on June 8th for sleep apena I need to use a cpap machine before I can get off. The thing is I don't have insurance until August 1 so I won't be able to get cleared until September. What happen with my insurance is a whole other story. What should I do? Should I go down to MTA to let them know. I think I have a better shot going down then actually calling them.

Hopefully they have a class in August. I can't go back until I used my cpap machine for 30 days and then I can get off Medical hold. It's a process for me I'll be glad once I'm finally in training and have my ID. Even though your an OA B/O you still have to do the 7/10 day training? I know you will get though it you have 5 monthes otj. I wouldn't think they would make you do the 7-10 training again.

Good luck, it wasn't a hard test, like everybody said just make sure you what they are asking for correctly. The track diagram there is a process of elimination which I did. Ex. They would have one direction which start with south when the others where all north so I ruled out the south ones. I then read the rest of the north ones and eventually it there would be a wrong way on there so I was down to 2 choices(that worked best for me) even on questions where the what details like the month year and date would be the same but the time would be like 1212 and 1221 and the correct one would be 1221. The classroom I was in had no AC

T/O exam at Midwood at 830am tomorrow anybody else taking the exam there?

I am currently on medical hold because I had to have a sleep apena test. If your necksize is greater then 17 inches they may make you take a sleep apena test as well. I tested positive which means I need to use a CPAP MACHINE for a month before I can go back to hopefully get off medical hold.

I catch myself slipping up as well confusing the as stated above 742 for 724. I know you Also have to pay attention to the am and pm's as well. I always look if they are asking for am or pm then rule either am or pm then I look both the am(as an example of they went am. Then I look at the times to make sure I got the right now if they want 742 because the 724 could be right but they want the 742 am and 724 am. That's how they get you). I have my test Sunday at midwood at 830am.

I personally enjoy taking a train anyway. I would love to get paid for what I love doing. That's just me everybody is different. I understand it can be rough and tough if you don't have strength to deal with reality of it. This is what I want this so I will make it happen no matter what it takes. In my eyes this to me is not then a job this is a career because I know I will wake and look forward to going to work.... Rather then me having the feel of ugh another day at work(boring) lol.

That's the right attitude to have. A Division are the number lines 1234567 and Times Square Shuttle. B Division are the letter lines ABCDEFGJLNQR Z AND the other shuttles.

I want to get into B division but if I have to take A division to live my dream then I will. The more people that turn it down the faster the list will move and hopefully this t/o list will be established a little bit faster.

A little over 60 days, I think they wanted me to into the June 12th class which I would be fine didn't get knew medical hold for sleep apena. All my other test where good but my necksize was greater then 17inches it was 19 inches

When I went back the 2nd time they me fill out the pre employment package again even tho I went in March. I was mailed another pre employment packet and had to fill it out. This time I was called back for medical the following week tho.

I think you have to a passion and a love for trains in order to pass I'll be the happiest person alive once I become a T/O thats my dream job since I was a kid! The money is great etc... But you will only be happy if you really like trains otherwise in my opinion you may be not as happy or miserable juat my 2 cents. Good luck to all I got my test on June 25th at 830am.

400 for the whole isn't to bad. It's worth the money. Thanks for the contact appreciate it. Hoeofully we get this done and get into the next class

I'm on medical hold for none other then sleep apena test my damn necksize has to be 19 lol. Everything else checked out fine my bp my ekg my hearing vision urine sample all is good but this damn necksize got me. Time to get this done asap.

Thank you! Yes my list number is between 3120 and 3130.

I got the greatest voicemail ever. I report to 180 Livingston tomorrow for medical at 73am. Best voicemail ever received by far! Hopefully all goes well tomorrow.

June 12 is the next class for 4600 I confirmed today. Hopefully I get called for medical next week and maybe make that class(wishful thinking). I was also told they invite more people to pre employment then needed just in case(people fail Dt or move or can't make a class medical hold etc.) So if they don't get you into any of the next class they bring you back for PE and DT I guess until you get into a class.

Anybody here at 180 Livingston today? It's my second time for pre employment. Anybody else that came for pre employment in March had to come back again for pre employment?

Thank you

Quick update speak to ms. Chestnut, I have fill out the pre employment package again and she told me I could report tommorrow or next week. I will be reporting tomorrow morning since I'm free all day. Hopefully if all goes well I can get into the June 12th. class.

Thank you unfortunately I am not free all day tomorrow but I will call them. March 27 to may 31 is a lil more then 60 days so technically I have 30 more days. Hopefully they tell me it's a mistake and take the drug test and then do medical that would be sweet(wishful thinking) lol.

Here is my unique situation. I get home from work and have a letter from MTA and it was for pre employment today may 31st at 730am. It the letter was dated may 25th and post marked may 26th. It's OK I will call them tommorrow, however I already went to pee employment on March 27th so I'm wondering why they are sending another letter with the pre employment application. I also noticed the rate of pay went up from 22.67 to 23.26 per hour. I can't wait to give a call no found out why I have gotten skipped for medical. What list number where you guys that medical today if you don't me asking? I'm list 312x
