Kindly have her reach out to DCAS via email and request to have her name restored to the certification for future hiring. The email address is LMACustomerService@dcas.nyc.gov. She will need to add her full name, last 4 digits of your SSN, Exam #, list #, and a brief statement requesting to have your name restored back to the Conductor list.

With the new 3 year contract about to take effect I figured I'd update the pay rates. Starting pay $25.05 2nd year $26.84 3rd year $28.62 4th year 30.42 5th year 32.21 6th year top Pay $35.79 as of 2023 2024 Top Pay $36.8625 2025 Top Pay $38.1550

Biggie, do you know of any T/O promotion exams for 2023?

New conductor exam taking applications 6/1/23.

I checked my sent mail and you're right.😮 it was 8/15...

I sent a email to reinstate my name on 8/19/21, I was then called to 180 Livingston for pre-employment on 8/26/21. I started school car on 9/13/21. I had no wait for "next certified list" or was I just lucky with perfect timing..

Overtime is time and a half and depends on years of service. Here is the regular rates. Entrance $24.32 2nd year $26.06 3rd year $27.79 4th year $29.53 5th year $31.27 6th year $34.74 You also asked about a cleaner position being offered to some on this exam. Yes, that does happen. I talk with a cleaner who took the cleaner offer. According to him his number was very high. So it's possible that cleaner gets offered to those with conductor list numbers that are unlikely to be reached.

Looks like they scheduled a conductor exam 3708 (promotional) on the list of upcoming exams. Application period from 11-1 to 12-15. I wonder how that will impact this list.

For me it was fast. I sent the email to LMACustomerService@dcas.nyc.gov on 8/16/20. On 8/23/20 I received an email I was restored to the list. I started school car on 9/12/20.

This link has the info for this year with many positions. http://www.twulocal100.org/sites/twulocal100.org/files/pay_rates_2019-2023_highlighted.pdf

Training for me looked like this: Day 1: was Orientation online meeting. Probation is 1 year from this day unless it gets extended. Day 2: through 4 was at P.S 248 on the PM tour. About 55 of us at the 3rd floor gym Week 2 and on : broken up into small classes. I was on PMs, we met at terminals/reporting location and did class for about 1/2 the day then on a train in a nearby yard. This goes on for about 6 weeks. Once you passed everything and are released to the crew ooffice you are XX and anything goes. Everyone in my class had different tours, days off and train lline's. Whichever tour you have on Sunday will be the tour for the rest of the week. You will need to call on Fridays to get the following weeks tour and days off.

I just want to clear up the pay scale. This is the last year of the contract. I started 9/13/21 and my pay is $23.67, not $24.33 as pinned above. $24.32 will be the starting pay in May. Here is the breakdown Current pay schedule Dollar Amt. Night Dif Entrance $23.6731 0.9586 2nd year $25.3640 1.0271 3rd year $27.0549 1.0956 4th year $28.7459 1.1640 5th year $30.4368 1.2325 6th year $33.8187 1.3695 Pay as of May 16th 2022 this year Entrance $24.32 2nd year $26.06 3rd year $27.79 4th year $29.53 5th year $31.27 6th year $34.74

I don’t know why but I feel more anxiety about this road practical tomorrow than I did for any other exam or test. I’m sure it will go well but the fact that it’s a one shot deal is probably what makes me feel that way. Good luck tomorrow!
