I could’ve sworn ms.vargas said during my 1st p/e that it was like 85 days of training for one & 115 days of training for the other. Guess I heard wrong.

It is 115 days in the B division. 5 days in a week. That's 23 weeks which is about 5 months. If you add the 2 months of YX it comes up to a little over 7 months. If there are any holidays while you're in training, it pushes you up to the 8 month mark. Info is correct but just a little misleading.

Does anyone know if there will be a September class?

 

From what I gathered it seems like list numbers 500 and up haven't been called for medical yet.

 

Any ideas on why the long delay?

 

Did anyone's pre employment drug test expire?

I was told by a TSS that there will be a class of 70 people for September

I hope it just means no more provisional classes but the rest are perm classes. Here's to hoping!

I’m in school car now and one of the TSS said they're planning on trying to bring in 60 people each month for at least the rest of this year. My assumption is that after this it will all be permanent classes.

Great info, thanks again. 

Try to go earlier bc the packet had stuff that took me a while to get together like dates (month and year) of every address for the past 10 years and dates (month and year) of every job you've had since high school (including the address, supervisor name, and phone number). It might be a little difficult to gather all of that information on the day of.

A few people in the conductor thread who didn’t get letters but had higher list numbers went in anyway and we’re orocessed, thinking about doing the same thing but not sure what the differences are with this temporary thing.

I don't see the harm in it. However, the letter had a packet included that needed to be filled out. I'm not sure how this all works so it might make more sense to go sooner as they may be able to provide you with the paperwork so you would be all set if you were supposed to get the letter for this Friday.

What is the date/time they asked you to report? I scored 100 on the test but haven’t received a letter. 

I received my letter this past Saturday to report on 5/11 @ 7:30am.

I Got 1 wrong as per the take home answer key

Same here

I received the same letter about a temporary T/O position. Can anyone offer insight on how temporary positions work? I have a good job now and am hesitant to leave it if there is a possibility that the temporary position will end before I am offered a permanent position.
