Harlem

Got a text with the test date. I go in next Thursaday.

When you resign it seems like you show up in DCAS as still having a pending appointment. Someone ar DCAS will have to update their system. Go there if calling and emailing don’t work. So ethung similar happened to me.

The A1C is a blood test. Are they drawing blood or just having people pee in a cup? If you have elevated sugar in your urine you may have uncontrolled diabetes that’s why people are getting jammed up.

This list will not expire until there is a new list. Either a promotional list or Open Competitive. The list won't expire for at least another year. Probably more.

Were you not called because you were previously fired? What did they fire you for?

There’s a lot of misinformation in this thread. Don’t give up hope. There is a difference between restoring your name to the list and being on a recertified list. This confused me at first. After you restore your name to the list you have to wait for DCAS to send a recertified list to Transit. They do that when Transit requests a newly recertified list. Transit usually requests a newly-certified list periodically. When they next request the newly-certified list you’ll be called first. That’s a good thing because you’ll probably get to pick the division you want in school car. Even if this list will expire soon that doesnt mean you won’t be called. It takes the better part if a year for them to establish a new list and during that time they will call people from this list. Don’t give up hope. You’ll get in.

There is a lot of churn in this title because many people take the job and then realize it’s not what they expected. The pay doesn’t reflect the level of responsibility, the hours and the stress.

How long does it take to get an exam date after you apply?

I think it’s BMI and neck size not either or. If your BMI is too high and your neck size is above 17 a sleep study is requested. Don’t sweat it.

Yes. I got that as well. We can expect some no-shows on Monday because they missed that email.

I have two questions. Any help will be appreciated: - Has anyone lived in upper Manhattan and worked in the B Division? Did they attempt to keep you close to home while you were XX? Was it difficult? I'm asking because I'd prefer to pick the B Division next week. - Do conductors in the B Division usually get to pick a job faster than conductors in the A Division. There are more lines in the B and thus more conductors but that may not mean seniority moves more quickly in the B than the A. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

I think you will have to wait until the list is certified again Hakeem. Transit receives a list of eligible candidates and because you missed the medical you were removed from the list. Now that you’ve restored your name to the list you have to wait for them to request a new list which will include your name. It took a year for that process to happen recently. Hope it doesn’t take that long for you.

- Your list number can't be the sole determining factor in picking jobs since some people defer and will have a higher list number but less time on the job. - Difficult in that many people are trying to work the midnight shift. Thanks.

A few questions. I’ll be in the April 10th class. Thanks in advance. - When picking jobs after school car or picking divisions in school car does the date you were sworn in take precedence. - Which division has greater turnover A or B. Will one allow you to pick a job faster. - How much is night differential? - if you want to work midnights after school car will that be difficult. Thanks.

First: - You will go to a computer and fill out a medical survey Then, you will: - Be weighed- clothes and shoes on. - Height measured - shoes on. - Urine test- to see if you have sugar in your urine. - Blood pressure check - I assume it must be below 140/90 - Hearing- Sit in a booth and listen for sounds - Vision- Look into a device -Heart Check- Nodes attached to you chest while a machine records. Last, you will dee a doctor. He/she will: - Wrap a tape measure around your neck- must be under 17 for men. If your BMI is over 35 and your neck is bigger than 17 you'll have to do a sleep study. - Ask you to touch your toes. - Check your teeth. - Go over the medical survey you filled out. If the doctor says you're okay. You go down the hall and are sworn in and receive your rulebook. Hope this helps.

April 2 is a Sunday. Who said there is a class starting on Sunday April 2nd? Maybe there is only one class starting on April 10th- a Monday.

So I am also on the recently certified list and I have a higher list number than you but you were called before me for preemployment and have already received a conditional offer. Maybe they call the people who were on medical hold first. That seems fair. Which date is your medical scheduled for?

Stop creating hysteria. He doesn't need to do anything. They are calling people from the newly certified list. If you check the list you will see that a person with a score of 30** is behind 30 or more people. Just wait. They'll get to you.

Highly unlikely. It takes well over a year to establish a new list. There will many more classes from 6601.

So DCAS has certified a new list. The next class will probably only be people who added their name back to the list. I wonder how long it’ll take for them to start hiring again.

Sorry. The page you're referencing seems to contradict your answer. Did you read the info carefully? According to the webpage you referenced the last certification for Conductor was April 4th 2022.

You were able to write a coherent sentence and you speak English. You passed!

Does anyone know if DCAS still manages this list? The last time Transit asked for a certified list was in March. IS there a way to find out when the people who restored their names to the list might be called. It seems unfair to have us wait so long.

Does anyone know when this list might be certified again? It hasn't been since March. Seems like many people have added their names back since then but we haven't heard anything. Seven months is a long time.

Yes. You can put your name back on the list. They will make a decision about whether you can be rehired. Make sure you hand in all the tools and equipment. They may choose not to rehire you but if you were keeping up with the class and had no disciplinary issues they should give you one more chance. BTDT. Don't beat yourself up.
