For the April class they called the first 400 people on the list 

I think it’s because a lot of people are failing drug tests, or being put on medical hold but I remember earlier in the forum they people in the first class was mentioning only 64 people will be in that class

That’s what I’m trying to get a feel for I think I heard 300 people went in for April. I’m thinking 200-300 per class. 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️

60 per class 

Also you say they give you any schedule can you say hey I’m unavailable Wednesday mornings, will they accommodate that and work around your schedule or will they just give you any schedule and open availability mandatory?

No problem. For those going to the June class, 1. congratulations 2. get people's numbers because you're a team in schoolcar 3. when y'all start, my class should be finishing up so you'll be seeing us in the learning center (maybe)

So schoolcar is about 2 months? 

List definitely moving, close friend texted me today she got her pre employment letter she’s early 1500s

just 1,000 more people in front of me

Tbh there is no reason to schedule opa's for people 5,000 and up anytime soon. 

 

Someone posted they were hiring what about 300 or so conductors per year? A list that was established 10yrs ago would have to see up to where they got in three years. If i was to get hired in early 2020 at number 1900's that would be a nice pace. 

I would beg to differ because if you look on this website that was provided earlier on this post: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/widgets/pjqi-8psc

Just looking at their hiring frequency due to the vacancies they had to fill:

March 2017 = 400

May 2017 = 300

August = 1,000

October = 500

March 2018 = 200 (they started our list here)

all we can do is hope that it is somewhat the same pace for 2018 and we'll be called sooner than expected!

From the looks of it, they spread pieces of paper with our names on them on the floor, then they have a midget covered in honey roll over those pieces of paper, then they have another blindfolded midget take the names off of the other midget’s body and that’s how they get our names. I’m 16xx...no OPA invite.

Sounds bout accurate 😂

I think eventually it’s all times of the day/night, at least I'm pretty sure that's what the rep at pre-orientation said.

Darn I was hoping it was just Monday - Friday anytime and then I could just take Weekend/online classes so I can avoid deferring when they get up to me 

Good luck to everyone starting school car/training tomorrow. 

Quick Question: is it just Monday - Friday, or do they schedule any day, any time and you can’t select your availability cuz you’re a newbie? 

I got the same frustration lol 

both my friend and I scored 96.25 but she’s list number 1,5xx and I’m list number 2,500s 🙄

For anybody who followed the 8094, how often do they call for preemployment? Monthly? Quaterly? Twice a year? When would the next batch of preemployment letters go out (assuming no hiring freeze).

Based off last years hiring frequency: 

March: they had 200 vacancies 

May: they had 200 vancancies again 

August: they had 1,000 vacancies 

(That’s all I remembered because fingers crossed it goes the same way for this year, I should be getting a call by around august lol)

I wonder when they'll call the 1400s if I just did my opa today hmmmmmmmm

That’s weird cuz I’m 25xx and I took OPA in November

I got put on a medical hold T_T

 

I'm getting this taken care of before the list expires. ASAP. 

What was the reason for the hold if it’s not too personal?

So strange, I'm low 700's and haven't received it yet. Do they send them out in order or is is randomly? 

 Some people also felt they were skipped or they received their letter after the appointment date ... I’d say give them a call or walk in they might just give you the paper work right then and there like previous members from the forum

Anybody know where they up to in the preemployment? I read somewhere here 1,1xx but not sure how that person actually got a preemployment without the OPA. Who is the highest person so far (that we know) that received passing OPA results and preemployment?

To my knowledge while reading this forum someone said they were #1,030 and received pre employment to come in for Friday the 13th

So whats the highest list # that received pre employment letters? What # are they upto so far?

Low 400's some members have mentioned.... a couple people in high 400's said they didn't receive anything 

Why'd they skip May I need them to have a class every month so we can reach my number sooner!!!!! lol
