May 14th is the Monday after we're out...I hope that means you'll have our instructor, I like him. He does a great job explaining everything and answering questions as they arise.

How did ur class pick go? I was in the class before u and we didnt have much of a choice. Class before me had the pick of sat/sun off.

I take it that you don't know then. 

Did u read the link? It explains it for the most part. U must already be a mta permanent employee in order to file. And as a mta employee pick room wouldnt need explaining. Its also a resume job. They decide if they want u based off education, attendance, experience etc. 

Station agent afc is the job title. I just started and that is what's listed on my employee pass.

Who makes more a Conductor or Station Agent? 

Conductor but not by much. 

Anyone in here from the February class? Hows it going?

Yeah me I'm in the 1400s

See thats what confuses me. Supposedly the top 2000 scores were issued the opa first.although i am within the top 2000 and did take the opa it doesn't seem like alot of us had to go thru the same things. Gimmie my lil $25 back. Doesnt seem like it made a diff if u got the opa or not. U cant disqualify someone who passed the test but failed the opa when theres someone out there wit the exact same test score that didnt even take it.

Why are they going to waste their time and the time of the person whose list number is 25xxx by making them pay $25 for an extra layer of testing for something they have no hope of being called for?

All it means if you took the OPA and bombed it enough to fail is they'll disqualify you and move on with the list.

That makes sense. Honestly just all speculation for me. Is there anyone with a list number under 2000 that didnt take the opa?

No calculating OpA is pass or fail. Not cumulative. 

It may have been pass or fail but how can a official list be created without EVERYONE taking it. What if i had 100 and failed the opa? Does that mean someone that got a 85 that didnt even take it has a better chance than me? I just feel opa isnt accounted for because EVERYONE didnt take it

I honestly think the opa wasnt calculated into the scores. How can a fair list be posted while some took it and others didnt. 

Still no official list for station agent. Although they have started hiring from that exam.

Cuz that’s you lol. Congrats Cuz lol

Lmaooooooo thanks a bunch! Didnt even realize it was u. 

I start training for station agent in a couple weeks. I'll just roll with whatever comes my way. I was told after probation i can apply for station supervisor so i think id try for that before conductor.

Welp...for those keeping track at home: went 10/30 for pre-employment...waited and waited, called mid-January and was told hiring was frozen. Drug test expired last week so I called AGAIN and the lady pulled my file...turns out they mis-transcribed my email, sent the offer email to an address a letter off, which never kicked back for the...December class...so as far as they were concerned I got the email and ignored it.

Thankfully the woman I spoke to is sending me down today - I have to fill out the 5pg packet again since they "filed it", (good thing I made copies) and then I'm supposed to impress upon them that I'm there for a 2nd drug test (reiterated several times so I know to beat that fact into their heads). Sounds like if this gets resolved in a timely fashion I'll be in the 3/12 class since she also brought that up.

Hopefully I'm out by 11am again. We shall see!

Wow their mistake was a huge one. Hopefully they'll fast track ur processing now. Good luck.

My list number is in the mid-60s. I took 2 drug tests, one in October and the other January 17th. I asked when was the next training class. I was told February 5th. So I received an email on January 26th after 6 p.m. to report on January 29th at 9 a.m. for my conditional offer of employment. The letter stated provisional station agent starting March 12, 2018. I will see which date it is.

Congrats hun! Im sitting on edge waiting for a call, email, smoke signal, ANYTHING!

This waiting game got me pulling out my weave strand by strand.

I just got back from the MTA. It was pretty much a second drug test and that was all. They went over the paperwork I filled out the first time I was there, they made copies of my IDs and HS diploma, gave me a couple of more things to fill out and sign, and then the urine test, went back to the first person in the back again she made me fill out one more paper and that was it. Now I'm really confused!

Yea me too. Its starting to get me a little discouraged. I stopped at the very first counter and asked questions before i left.  The little hyper man gave me a number and told me to call everyday starting tues to see the status of my drug test being that i was told about the February class.
