  1. Hello wondering if anyone on here can provide an update on when they will start calling again. I went in on 11/15 for day 1 and havent heard anything when I call the DCAS number it says im currently on an outstanding certification for exam 9604 but i havent been called in for Day 2 yet. Im currently an OA operator but looking forward to moving to TA. Any thoughts or reccomendations on how if at all possible I can speed up the process? 


    Thank you in advance.

    I’m going thru the same thing I took a drug test back in September for pre employment and just feel like I’ve been ghosted on employment it’s very strange but I had a way higher list number than yours the HR Department never answers the phone or emails at this point I’m about to go down there in person and find out wtf is going on 😓😤

    Yeah its insane, not cool at all . I was thinking of doing the same thing as well.

    @futureMTA05 How many months do you have on? You will accrue a vacation day for every month that you have worked. If you have at least 5 days, you will be able to pick a week. 1-4 will just become vacation days, and anything between 6-10 will be 1 week + the difference in days. (With 10 obv. being 2 weeks) When you pick your vacation week(s), it will be guaranteed to you. If you just have vacation days, you will have to put them in the book and unless you know that you're in quota from jump, you won't know if you got the day till the day before.

    As for picking to a new depot, it depends. It's the same job at any depot. It's all what you want to do. Pick a depot that's closer to home, deal with different lines or just stay where you're at, so you don't have to learn new lines, etc. I encourage everyone to stay where they started and finish up probation before moving around unless they have a pressing issue.

    I have 4 months on the job with 3 Ava's and 16 hours OTO

     

    Thanks for the info about picking into another depot, i also feel it makes sense to stay where you started until you finish up on Probation

  4. Question about General Pick & Vacation , I go for General Pick in December and I have some questions.  If a Staten island Depot is available can I pick out to there if im OA or is that only for TA? Also is this the time to put in for vacation for next year? how and when will you know if you get approved? Is it recommended to pick out of your depot if your still on probation?

    Yeah you will be picking for vacation time sometime during October or November. Every depot function different when they process picks and etc. Most likely you’ll probably  be eligible for 2 - 5 vacation days. During my probation stage I was only eligible for 4 days. After probation you will be eligible for 2 weeks of vacation days. Like LeoSimmy stated all the good months such as Summer or Thanksgiving month will be gone due to seniors.

    Save all your AVA’s and OTO’s, because they come in handy if you need to request a certain day off during probation. As long its an AVA or OTO you use during probation to request off You wont get extended. But if you call out sick, each day you miss you will have to make those days before you’re cleared from probation. Best advice during probation is to avoid calling out unless you’re seriously ill and doctor stated you are unable to be in service. The depot General Supt of Transportation  has ZERO tolerance for poor attendance during probationary. When I first started a few operators out of ENY was drilling into my head how the GS let go 10 probies due to attendance and reporting to work late.

    thanks , thos days eligible would they include RDOS or i can combine them? 

     

  6. Question here on vacation, I am on probation 2 months in and i want to know when i would be able to be eligible for vacation ? i have started to accrual some time with AVA and OTO so im wondering when i can submit vacation and if it will affect my probation meaning extended it . Looking to go away after I make one year july 2019 so it will be august but curious to how this works

  7. I start training 7/9 and have a question about the proper attire. Is it mandatory to wear long sleeves? or can you where short sleeves? I am assuming they want light blue collard button downs correct similar ? want to make sure i go in with the correct uniform.  Also what are recommendations about getting to Zerega, coming from SI and it would take me about 2 hours in train as opposed to driving it would be an hour. is Parking tough there?

    Recall on June 12th got a email today stating to come in for final processing next week,keep in mind test results only take two days to get back the Next class is July 9th this list is fairly old compare to the conductor list therefore waiting 3-90 days is not likely because they are already at the bottom of the list 

    i was there as well on 12th but didnt get drug test till about 2:00pm.

    It all depends. IF they still hiring, the next class will be the 18th since its every other 2 weeks. But lately  I have been seeing plenty of training class at my depot for the past weeks.

    if we are being called for drug testing and employment would that mean there for sure hiring again? I was on medical hold in March got released in April and they just called last week for me to go to do drug test and employment. 

     

    what would next steps be

    Benefits are Aetna $30 pay period for everything union benefits free n union pays for braces up to age 18.  If you r OA u can work in any TA Depot except for queens ie. Qv Casey stengal n Jamaica. It also depends on Wat depot's r available at the Time u pick deport at zerega. U can only change depots during Dec.

    @mtawife this is a Union position correct? i am just being called for medical and i am curios to know when i find out about benefits vacation other depots etc.
