Yeah I agree I cant see in what world the MTA would let a T/O smoke before they operate a train or at all in that matter. Luckily they dont do hair test like the NYPD does because if they did a lot more people might of failed the drug test.
On a different note, I called DCAS a month ago and they said I was on an outstanding certification, and then I called then again yesterday and now it says that I'm currently not on an outstanding certification. Does anybody know what this means?
Question for my future co workers I called DCAS right now and it says I'm currently not on an outstanding certification. A month ago I was on an outstanding certification so idk what that means my list number is 14XX if that helps with anything.
I agree being responsible for millions of lives and then having points or crashes or accidents with a car can be applied with how reliable you'll be when operating a train. Like would the operator be the type of person to eat the red light and get the train tripped? Or would he go over the speed limit on a GT sign and then derail the train?
I was thinking the same thing I was like why do we need a divers license to operate a train doesn't make sense. Watch the next T/O exam require people to have a train operator license through the DMV 🤣
Nah I was just saying how a bunch of people made a WhatsApp group chat while we all went through the process from the very beginning like the medical and etc etc all the way until we got into the academy. And all of us became very good friends.
Thats what a group of us started when I started the NYPD process a bunch of future NYPD cops made a WhatsApp thread to keep everybody informed on what's going on and etc it was extremely helpful. People were telling each other which list number was next what to do and what to prepare for. Obviously none of us gave out any answers, but each of us guided each other towards the road to success.
