Hi everyone!

My aunt is from this exam with a list # of 12743.

She received an email last August about going in, but didn't act on it. Is there any way to get put back on the list or find out more information on how to proceed?

Thanks in advanced!

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

Probably because this list has to be terminated Feb 14 2024. So they gonna have the 2 promotional hold down on C/R hiring until 3615 is ready. 

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

New conductor exam taking applications 6/1/23.

Looking back at your posts, it seems like you actually sent the email on 8/15/21. The list was recertified on 8/18/21, so it looks like you just made it.

 

IIRC, the last person sworn after medical was in the low 5000s so you just have to wait your turn. You may actually have to do another drug test.

 

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

What is your list #? 5XXX?

Yes, you are on 6601. Transit sends a request to DCAS for a certified list of candidates to fill a certain number of vacancies. When it's exhausted they start over again.

You may not make it to a certified list if you deferred, could not complete your pre-employment, or medical, etc. For example, I know someone who went in for medical back in November, but was not hired as Transit doctors wanted him to get documentation from his own doctors for the medical issues he had disclosed. The current certified list was made back in March, but he emailed DCAS in May to be reinstated. So now he has to wait for the next certified list to be on it.

 

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..

What's the overtime rate for conductor 

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.

I renewed my number but someone from NYCT said that my name would appear the next time dcas send them over a list. Does anyone know how often this happens? Is it possible I can get in for this upcoming class?

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.

Hello Everyone,

I have a few questions. If anyone knows. Will there be a class after Feb 21? Does anyone know what the training/probation period is like? Are you thrown into the wild schedule pattern as soon as you graduate? Thanks in advance

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

Thank you so much man! Posting is officially over; ready to ace this exam. Road practical I’m not too nervous about; just wanna make sure I’m on point! Thanks again!

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!

There is no way I can remember all the jobs I had since high school. I am 44 years old. I am going to write down whatever I can remember. Does anyone know if this info is critical. I have provided at least 9 years of accurate history.

 You can go to the social security office and request a lifetime abstract which would give you where you worked, and what year. The New York State court officers required candidates to go obtain this. It's a really easy way to know where you were and what year.

Check in a few mins, if you don’t get the email, call Ms Olha at (347) 643-8217. Bring your passport or birth certificate, your HS diploma, drivers license or non-drivers IR, SS card & water; you’ll be be drug tested via urine. Do NOT bring copies of the aforementioned documents. They want ONLY originals. 

 Thank you so much for this information. Lastly, is there any particular way to dress? Or is this a non formal event?

I received a text and a phone call with an automated system saying.. "New York City Transit is considering you for a Conductor position and invites to our facility at M T A New York City Transit 1 8 0 Livingston Street 5th floor, Brooklyn NY, 1120"

 It said to check my email for details but I didn't receive any email. Can anyone give me some insight on what to bring/what to expect?  I recently reinstated my name on the list, my list numbers in the 2,200s

Good morning, I’m looking to reinstate my name on the list. Is there a number I can reach out to? I sent an email on Sunday Lmacustomerservice@dcas.nyc.gov and I never got a response.

Thank you!

I received the email and I'm currently not interested in the job. However, that may change in the near future. How can I put this on hold so I can reactivate myself if necessary in the future?

Yeah none of this makes any sense; then why have list at all. If they are going to choose people at random.

 Well they will use the list number two separate people with different scores.  But unless I’m missing something it looks like if you have the identical score you are treated almost equal.

I get an email everyday from USPS on what is coming to my mailbox that day.  Today, there's a letter from MTA that I should get tonight when I get home.  

 

I'm list #2,3xx and I've taken the OPA back in December.  When I called in, it says I'm outstanding certification.

 

Any thoughts on this?

 From what appears to be evident, they are processing 2000 people to fill 200 positions.  Clearly your number is above 2000. Was your score a 96.25?  We have people with that score with list numbers that range from below 2000 to above 2000. 

 The only thing I can think of is maybe they’re treating people with the identical scores as equals as opposed to using the list number.  That would mean that the randomly picked from that bracket to meet there 2000,  since taking a whole bunch of people with a 96.25 would put them well over the 2000 people they’re looking to start processing.  It would explain why some people with list numbers around 1800 did not get an OPA yet someone like myself did with over 2200  

 Judging by what people reported here. The score of 96.25 as a list number ranged from about 1500-2400.  Can anybody point to some data that contradicts this thought? 

20 hours ago, Schecter said:

Well its 1400 range idk if thats good considering I never recieved the OPA at all

 This confuses me. We have the same score 96.25. However, my list number is over 2200 but I took the OPA back in Nov. How come I took the OPA and you did not with the same score in a better list number?

I'm also scheduled for the 4th but did not receive anything in the mail today. I was scheduled for the morning. You?

 I was scheduled for 2 PM oct 4th. I almost feel like calling to inquire on why my date was changed. 

 I just received a revised letter for the OPA.  Previous date was October 4th the new date is November 1st.  Has anybody else had a change of date?
