They'll get to you if you score i would say even an 85 and possibly lower if they keep it open as long as this last exam was open. I got a 96.7 or 96.1 i forgot exactly. I was called December 2019 i had number low 1900's. So a bit over 3 years from the exam to get the letter with a 96 score.

Seems you've already been selected to attend the class. I just applied for the position yesterday. I got the rate of pay breakdown. Just curious if you or anyone else would know, if they put you mandatorily in a conductor program? And if so how long is the program? How long does it then take to get to full rate of pay for conductor or do you just get the full rate effective as soon as you get the conductor job?

Nice 👍. How long have you been a conductor for 1.5 years? Do you qualify for full rate on a transfer for Train operator? Or do you have to work 1 year under Train operator to qualify for the full rate?

I'm glad by reading this some of you are working and seems having a good time at MTA. I'm still in the hotel and passed on the MTA conductor job, got the letter December 22nd last year to report the 24th or 23 rd. No time at all between report date and time I got the mail. However i think I still would've passed on it. I was out of work cause of this pandemic for 8 months. They paid us 1 month during that time. So 7 months on unemployment. I'm back at work thankfully. A lot of ppl in the hotel industry are losing their jobs and in the restaurants etc. So those of you who are working I'm sure are thankful. I just got my full rate today, $37.61 per hr. Put my four years in. I wish all of you well. Always curious how it would've went in the MTA. The road not taken. Happy holidays, all of you.

Probation is 1 yr what kind of union agrees to that??!! That's absurd. Probation is typically 3 mos in most union jobs. I can even see max 6 mos. Be careful at any job where the union doesnt have procedures set up to protect its members.

Just checked real quick that thread out. Wow T/O start at $34 and in 1 yr get to $36. That's a good contract. Kind baffling conductors don't have something similar. Anyway idk why anyone would not go after T/O if that's the case. But I guess you're saying that it if you do Conductor pass the yr and then get the T/O job if you get fired. You can go back to being a conductor. Do you get extra points or preference for being already in MTA and taking what seems like a promotion exam? Do they give T/O exams ever to a just small group? Or always citywide?

I searched and couldn't find the specifics. If you or anyone knows the answers to my following questions, it would be appreciated. 1.) Do you only need 261 road days. Which I'm sure most can do in a year. Because you've transferred from within mta? 2.) If you go straight to T/O I think it said 5 years for max as well. Am I correct? 3.) Is the internal promotion something that is done yearly, or on a need basis? Thanks

You still will have to wait 4 additional years for top pay as train operator no??

I'm in the low1900's and still have yet to receive a pre employment letter. Said last they were up to 1764 being appointed. Called the other day.

I called that number just now. All they do is give you, your list number and if you are on the list.

You working roughly 40hrs though?

Agreed https://nypost.com/2019/08/08/mta-worker-secretly-kept-usps-job-in-case-he-didnt-like-new-gig/ What reason should this person be fired for??

Ima pm you. Why I'm leaning towards local 6. I haven't gotten a letter to decide yet. But that should be coming soon since I'm mid 1900's. It's because of pay, quality of life-bathroom breaks, switch shifts, come in later decide day before, seniority, free food-decent to good, overtime after 35hrs. Can use cell quickly almost whenever I want, back of the house. Ima pm you from now on if we talk about this more. I don't want to derail the thread. Just was very intrigued others in my same position.

Speaking of LIRR and Metro North if i was up for a job there. I wouldn't even think twice and take it. They can strike and their union is strong. And they get higher rate of pay and slightly better benefits.
