Love am's as well. Some constantly say that you can do all these things (i.e. appointments, laundry, and the like) in the morning before going to work when you have pm's. But honestly, if you end work between 1 and 3 pm, I do not see why you cannot do those things in the afternoon as well. All those things do not magically close at 4 pm all of a sudden. And with summer imminent, I would rather have the whole afternoons off to enjoy, instead of the morning.

Not sure abt the latter tbh

Depends. If you live closer to uptown getting the A is more likely on a regular basis.

The B a monster? Ha! It's nowhere near as long as the A. That run goes quick as hell. Especially after Prospect Park. Easy day whenever I get the B. I am an AM guy as well. Not a fan of pm's.

Well, I'm hitting 2 years in shortly. Though I'm not sure where exactly it stands, the M is definitely not the most senior line in the B. The J and the B (especially the latter) are more senior. Getting the B five days a week can take years because it means you have weekends and holidays off automatically built in. A lot of people prefer pm's down here, I'm finding. They say it gives them more time to do things before going to work and lets them sleep in.

...I still can't pick a job...and Im close to 2 years...tears >->

Ok. That first one is not too hard, as you likely already know.

They can do it. I was hella confident for the first one and my whole class murked it on the first try. Gd luck.

Wait, what about the second yard practical? Are you guys getting a condensed version of schoolcar because of the pandemic? I heard some classes were stalled because of quarantining.

Well in any case, how is training going?

I stay keeping that mss in normal whenever I have the Fox. Or Echo. I remember I left Roosevelt and my follower immediately went cbtc bie entering the station. Not trying to deal with it as long as I can.

Yes the former was right behind me but eventually went behind a c train en route to Euclid.

So schoolcar followed me up and down Concourse today. @Schecter @beanz if u were there I was the guy who came into the pizza shop offering u advice.

Hmm. Something happened

On some G ish tho good luck to all.

Great ya'll went to the B. And if they putting many of you in that div, all the more faster I jump up in senority. Maybe I'll get to pick a steady job before the pick closes out next time. Can only hope.

That was a fast turnaround. Congratulations on the 2nd chance!

Good man. Funny TSS.

Def! You learn how to "sense" when a train is ahead on a curve. Hell, I no longer wrap it on long curves with green automatics anymore bc u never know if a train just went bie in the station ahead and they haven't called it in yet.

Yeah-you're doing exactly what I was when I first started schoolcar-putting the cart waayy before the horse. I was asking questions to advanced topics when I hadn't even charged up a train at that point. Worry moreso about your weekly quizzes, learning the train from a technical standpoint, and those signals. Cause if you can't grasp those at all whatsoever, don't worry about lineups, since they'll send you back to the middle. Also, your induction doesn't even begin until the 22nd. So how do you know which division you will end up in this soon? For all you know, they could keep you in the A.

Many of those lineups are shared between lines which makes it much easier. You will see. They try scaring B div folks at the school the first week by saying, "The A div only has 7 lines and 6 of them go either up the west or east side. Meanwhile you're all over the place in the B." Personally for me I didn't struggle much with getting lineups. And a T/O who invited me into his cab during schoolcar gave me advice that maybe can work for you: Remember all the bottom yellows on your route. Served me well

Keeping it a buck-this damn company knows half these trains have shot brakes. Yet they still knowingly allow them on the road. I can't tell you how many times I've had R46s on the Broadway line with garbage brakes. Yet anything happens it's still on you. It's total garbage.

Could be depending on who u get.

That's the truth. @Schecter now ur time to save Princess Peach on a bigger level!

Must've been some new jack or someone on their last leg, cause someone with their papers in their back pocket or someone else with real time and a decent record would probably not have given an eff. I had a situation recently where I overran the board by 15 feet but still platformed. C/R was nervous and I called it in--when I should've told him to check it himself instead. RCC didn't really seem to care much though. Wanted a call at the terminal, but never even answered.
