Until the customers get on your last nerve I had a homeless guy pull the EBV on my train in my operating cab and the opposite one at 34th today on the 2 and then decided to spit at me at the same time...

Damn bro 😞, sorry that happened to you. Yeah a homeless guy pull the ebv on me two days ago. Hope the spit ain’t get on ur face. You can go out on comp but being a probation I already know that’s not a option for ya

I hope so, the waiting is tiring. Took this test in 2016, almost 4 years! But I bet it's worth the wait.

Facts, I know the feeling, waiting so long but it’s good motivation when u finally get the email, I studied like crazy to get through schoolcar, now gotta kick probations ass lol. So Just continue doing what u doing now it’ll come when u least expect it 💪🏾

Ok. Just gotta have faith and pray. They said the list was only established Feb 2018. Not bad for what’s going to be two years. What did you guys score if you don’t mind me asking? Hopefully they extend this list 🙏🏽

I don’t even remember lol. I think it was like a 97.5 

2 minutes ago, PatientlyWaiting30 said:

Hey guys, I’m number 4400, scored a 95. I shouldn’t have rushed the test. I also saw a lot of people got military credit. How do you think it’s looking for me?

Never know but the list expires in 2022. And they are around idk but I think 1800-2000?

I'm about 60 away! I called up Ms. Vargas, she said the next class will have 35 people and they're waiting for the upper management to give them a date. I asked if a class might be scheduled this year and she said they might have one before the year ends. Talking to a few people I know, I've heard that MTA doesn't like to hire in December so they might not even have any more classes for the rest of this year. We'll just have to wait and see, I like to check in with Ms. Vargas once a week for updates.

You should be good then after the holidays

Anyone got some recent info about what's going on with the list? Seems to have gone quiet

I've been AM's with Sun/Sat for a year and some change now and I get decent jobs for the most part, don't want to risk going over there and having my tour/rdo's changed. I called earlier and was told I keep my "seniority" but being XX we're subject to have our tour/rdo's changed on a weekly basis. 

 

I've heard that they've been ABD'ing intervals over there due to the lack of personnel. It's crazy

Yeah you got good days off and a morning tour don’t risk it if you comfortable

Wow!, yeah they just changed everybodies tour and RDOs for the new pick. They gave me Sunday Saturday midnights. So cool I’m thinking I only gotta get through one week with one RDO but nope they changed it again 🤦🏾‍♂️ to Friday Saturday so for the second week in row I have one day off lol.

What caused you to be terminated so us nobodies can be careful if you don't mind sharing without sharing anything too personal. I'm already 5 months in 7 more until a month.

Yea I think he said before it was outside of work related

It’s like being in a dungeon. It’s a dark Small cramped room with no cell service, and the AM dispatcher is a piece of work...

 

Sidenote: B division is looking for XX conductors from the A to transfer over. I’m really strongly considering it, but the A div crew office has been treating me amazing.

Damn we are that short on conductors in the B division, one class in August just came out and there’s a October class already in lol 

Just now, Janelleeac said:

More than likely they kicked you back because of lateness. Usually they send u back to school car to retrain, at least thats what ive heard. 

Yeah they are big on lateness so That probably was the main reason 

42 minutes ago, Sixgvd94 said:

Yup that and like a few latenesses, Once they take you outta service they'll find any reason to let you go when you're on probation. Go look at your file to see what's in there and discuss everything with a union rep. Prevention is better than cure when it comes to going through probation

How do you check your file?

So this page definitely got dead Lol how’s everybody holding up? I got kicked for bad evaluations so now they’re saying to wait till January to go to DCAS and request my name be put back on the list

Been working heavy, they really kicked you off the road for that? Wow I ain’t even know that was possible when it comes to evaluations.

And dont forgot about wearing the tie ugh and the supah conductah hat

No there's no extra points or preference since technically he'll be hired off of the O/C list, although they'll treat him like a promotional. 

They have promotional and open competitive exams for Train Operator, which are usually given around the same time. Promotionals are for current employees such as Conductors, Bus Operators, etc... When a promotional and open exam for a title like Conductor or Train Operator is given the promotional exam must be used first though before the O/C.

@Riku @Schecter @acabral136 Just incase you guys may be interested, the filing for ATD begins on October 4th. 

Yeah my classmates been sending me info but I need the info when we can apply to take the test or how do u apply cause it would be promotional lol

Hey,

Looking for a little help here. Anyone know how to get to Fire School in Coney Island Yard? I know we supposed to take the F train to Avenue X. After that I’m a bit lost. 

I’d appreciate any help. Thanks. 

Avenue X, soon as u come out it’s a building that will say Coney Island yard. Past security it’s a blue and white building in the middle of the train yard tracks. It’s hard to explain step by step But def ask security they should be able to help.

Once you got hired,  that's it for you on that list. 

You can indeed take the next test. 

I'm currently working on getting recertified onto this list since I was one in three'd. That you can try. 

Excellent man hope you get back on!
