Yup, subject to change.

Holidays off. Monday - Friday. For the most part it’ll be 6am-2pm / 7am-3pm depending on classroom availability. If there’s too many classes, it could be changed to 10am-6pm or even 2pm-10pm. The important thing to remember is that the schedule is always “subject to change”.

Chapters 1,2,3 and 9.

Definitely can. I know plenty of people who promoted from B/O to T/O.

This is a good point. They love disqualifying people for their sick time.

Sorry to hear that. You have another chance to take the T/O exam coming up. Study hard and try to get as high up on the list as you can.

He got 1 in 3’d. “4.7.1 (c): Appointment or promotion from an established eligible list to a position in the competitive class shall be made by the selection of one of three persons certified by the commissioner of citywide administrative services or head of the certifying agency, as the case may be, as standing highest on such established list who are qualified and willing to accept such appointment or promotion. Where applicable, such selection shall be made as provided for in paragraph 4.4.12 of these rules.” Essentially, transit chose one candidate out of three qualified candidates to offer the job to, and he was not that one. Only transit can put him back onto the list at their discretion.

I’m guessing you’re in the 12/24 induction. Just curious, what division did you end up with?

The plan is for there to be classes every month for the time being. They’re promoting TSS like crazy in order to meet the demand for instructors. Approximately 100 CR and 100 TO every month.

It really depends on how the pick board plays out. At the 5-8 year range, you can find some gems where the weekend is free, but it’s not exactly guaranteed with that seniority. Refuse train with S/S is so rare, maybe 1 or 2 people have it. You need at least 7-8 years to pick a refuse RDO relief job in the B, you also need to get qualified for miscellaneous. Getting a piece of the weekend is a lot more attainable. Buddy of mine had F/S with 7 years. If I was picking on the road then I’d might have gotten something like T/F or F/S if I was lucky.

For the entire weekend? You’re looking at 16+ years. But people are retiring at a crazy rate so it might change.

Yeah I should’ve added that disclaimer. Dont goto sub-c JUST to run from the road. Because if you mess around and don’t pay attention, you can lose your job real easily.

I will put this out there; If you find that you hate the road, I would suggest giving sub-c a try. You might like it, you might hate it, but it’s something different. I have no problem saying that I was happy coming into work almost everyday when I was in work trains even with its problems and stressors.

B/O is a much more stressful job. Dont pay him any mind, he’s been complaining since he started.

You’d most likely be in the next class.
