And you will be able to do that on a T/O salary!!! Unfortunately you may miss some of your toddlers special occasions because of our schedule. It is a sacrifice...

Prepare to give up most of your personal life over the next couple months. If you have access to the signals start studying them. You must know them word for word. 100% is required on both signal tests. Get used to not using your cell phone at all unless on a break. A lot of current vacancies we are filling are from cell phone and smart watch users while operating. 0 tolerance for that. A lot you us talked about the money T/Os make, there's a reason for that. Take the job seriously and you need to put in work in the beginning. It will pay off when get off probation in a year. Car school is more like booth camp than anything else.

Are we required to fill out complete benefits enrollment forms on first day of HR orientation? Do I need to bring in documentation for spouse etc?

I have the same question. I remember the interviewer saying to bring the bigger book on the second day. Not sure how we're expected to bring papers and books with nothing to put them in.

Exit 50 of LIE. Will be taking the train from Wyandanch.

That is correct. But it is still a transfer at Jamaica according to the July 21 to September3rd schedule. When I went in for processing there was a later 7:16 train that went directly to Atlantic, the new schedule doesn't show any direct trains to Atlantic terminal. If there is a weekend class I'll probably drive in.

When do we get the golden ticket? The LiRR is not cheap!

Your right. I'm transferring at Jamaica.

Thanks, so good to know! I'll be on 430 train from where I am, transfer from Jamaica to Atlantic and take the D from there I think.

I'm coming from LI. How tight is parking? I'm concerned about train delays and cancellations like the one on Friday. The interviewer recommended I drive in because of the "complexity " of the directions they gave us.

No offence, but did you pass the drug test?

Late 2**.

So I just completed final processing. TOs are still being hired provisionally because the city has not approved the list yet. From what the interviewer said it's just a formality until the list is approved, no date as to when that will be done. Explains why no list has been published yet.

I got called for final processing next week. I'm in the late 2**. August 13th class.

Fair and seniority? Honestly, 95% of employees there couldn't care less. They act as if there doing you a favor. I try not to get caught up in their "politics".

Yes. Based on what I was told after completing my medical and not being fingerprinted and sworn in, yes the list has been established. Not sure if its published to public or not.

After completing medical was told there are now following the open competitive list. Email for medical on Friday, by next Tuesday the July 9th start date for me was changed. No medical hold.

I'm in the late 200s and completed my medical, just need fingerprinting. No email yet.

Actually I just looked at the letter I was sent and it gives my list number and says that my name will be placed on the eligible list once it is established. That letter was dated may 10th. I'm guessing the list was established mid June when they stopped processing provisional candidates and told me they are following the open competitive list.

I got my list number in the mail. Haven't seen a published list.

Medical hold I cleared the next day. Going by the open competitive list means they have to initiate the employment process for everyone ahead of you before they get to your number. You will get called for medical when they reach you on list. From what we were told during PE, they were so short on TO they had to start calling people in provisionally to start filling positions before the list was established. More than likely those who were hired provisionally will be made permanent by the time they start training because the list is now established.

When I did my medical there were some people in the low 300s.

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*.
