Really couldn't say. This is the first time the MTA is doing the OPA.

That is a rough choice to make. Something you have to discuss with your family. You can also ask yourself . Is that job you are in going to be around in 20 yrs. Any oldtimers in you current job title? Civil service union are a lock as long as you dont mess up to badly.

From what i have been told from a guy who just was hired in apr or may. You will get a letter telling you to come back to see doctor. You will get a huge booklet to fill out. Then an appointment to bring paperwork and speak to union people. Then you would get a start date.

That is good. I read that they dismissed a whole conductor class because MTA found out 1 person got the saftey test answers and shared it. So they got rid of the whole class.

Hey you never know. Maybe it could be that they have exhausted the first test. Also alot of people could have taken the test on 15 like us. They could have moved and not updated info. But i can tell you that are hiring like crazy. I have a friend that took track worker. They told him they need to hire 600 in a hurry. They even pulled him out of training early. Got shifts already. He did 15 hrs ot first week. With a big focus on mta and money coming in from city and State. They want to show they are doing something about it. Still good to get a letter after almost 3 yrs. One step closer.

I guess so. He took the test back in 2010. He had to do everything the letter is telling us to do. Maybe because he non promo. Could be?.

Since may. He went in for opa got paperwork to fill out. 30 days later went to doc. Then 1 week speak to union. Got a start date.

Got my opa last 2 weeks ago to go in on the 11th 2pm.

I know that they want to hire atleast 600 people for track worker. I know someone that went from school safety to track worker. He said they are eager to hire fast. They didn't even let him finish training berfore they pulled him out. He is already on the job and had 15hrs overtime first week.

Hello everyone. Finally can reply. I know someone who went for the opa and with in a month he was called back to see doctors and speak to union. He said he was in 45 day total. He was from 8094 test non promo.
