I’m in same boat. Is there a confirmed August class? I heard they were gonna have a T/O class every month for the rest of the year, but who knows. 

Yes, the August class begin on the 13th. I will be in it.

Anyone know which boots are the most comfortable on the website?

Curious to know how DCAS reinstates a candidate when there is no established list... unless it’s a sign and the notices are going out soon?

From how it was explained to me in my PE when I asked (thought about declining because I am on another civil service list for a position with WAY less responsibilities and training and of course less pay  )you will receive another PE letter when the official DCAS list is established and they start calling off that list. Many folks declined the temporary position and wanted to wait until the DCAS list is established since they probably didn’t want to work longer than a year to get off probation.

Keep in mind, all of the T/Os that started from #7604 are provisionals and probation doesn’t start until we are permanent meaning we are all waiting for the damn list to be released!

Well, the letters that we received did say that the official list will be established either in June or July.

Yesterday while finishing final processing, I was told that on paper, I am listed as provisional but that the official list will be released around mid July. 

Being that everyone commenting here is still waiting for preemployment or the medical, it doesn't really matter since the list will have become official by the time class starts.

Even those who began in June, it won't matter much since not much time will have passed before the list was made official.

Congrats! How did they contact you?

Email

Just got my letter for the medical.  Here are the details:

List #- Low 400's

5/18- Preemployment and drug test

7/12- Medical 

8/13- scheduled for class

So all this time since preemployment, I have not heard from MTA until my email today.

Good luck to all, just hang in there if you've already had PE and the drug test.

At this point in the process, I’m going to assume that those of us that did PE from 5/29 - 5/31 won’t be emailed for medical until approximately the end of July or later.

I’m basing this assumption purely on the information that the highest number called for medical was in the 300’s. So, enjoy your summer ladies and gents. We already waited a year, and some more than that. What’s another few months? We also might be pleasantly surprised.

well, I did my PE on 5/18 and my list # is low 400's, but I haven't been called for the medical yet.

I'm guessing I will be called for the August class but most likely September if they don't call me back for the medical.

It's been 50 days since my PE and we were told to wait up to 90 days to be called in for the medical...

I've been following this thread for a couple weeks. Did my pre employment around May 16th. Got called in for Medical and final paperwork, which I completed June 11th and 12th. After completing my medical I was told they are now following the open and competitive list. They told me I should hear from them in a week and half. When I called week and half later, was told again they are now following the open and competitive list. So I still have a money order for fingerprinting that I may need to cash in before it expires. Still hoping I get called in for the July 9th. My number is 28*.

Were you placed on medical hold by any chance? 

Hopefully they call you soon. I'm still waiting for the medical appointment.

Does anyone know whether going by the open competetive list will slow things down for those yet to be called for medical?

I'm anxiously waiting to be called for the medical. I keep checking for the email all the time hoping I don't miss it. 😲

Anyone who did pre employment last week got an email or call to come in for Medical?

No, I am still waiting to be called back for the medical. I was in on 5/18 for the drug test.

Wait they already started calling ppl? The paper said the list won’t be up until June/July?

They started calling people off the list even though the final list has not been established because they need T/O asap due to retirements.

I'm not sure how long it will take for others to get called after they fill these early positions.

Keep in mind that just because people got called it doesn't mean that they are a lock for the position.

If you are missing documents or have outstanding tickets/violations or fail the drug/medical tests, you are disqualified.

Also, training is not easy and people then can still get disqualified if they don't meet the test requirements. There will be several tests throughout training.

I got the email stating to go in for my medical 5/25 and being considered for the 5/29 orientation! But wondering why $87 for fingerprinting when other agencies are $75? That’s weird.  

When did you go for the drug test?

I finally got my starting date. I start Tuesday the 29th. I can’t wait! 

Congrats and good luck!

When did you go in for the medical test? And how long after the drug test did you wait to get called/emailed back.

I went in for the drug test last friday 5/18 and I am anxious to find out when/if they will call me back.

After the drug test a gentleman at the front desk told a group of us to wait 3-90 days for a reply.

My list # was between 400-415 and my grade was a 95. I was called in for the preemployment process for the temporary train operator positions they needed to fill.

Wish me luck!
