8, 10, 12 days as in physical time spent or as in being paid? You get 2 days off regardless of what you pick.

Two runs can pay the same but do completely different amounts of work, have different meal times, etc. For example, the typical run on the S79 does 3 round trips, anywhere between 30 min - 1 hr meal and pays 8 hours. There's one that only does 2 rounds with a 2 hour meal and still pays 8 hours. Less work, more meal time, same pay. 

When you're at the depot looking over the work to pick from, you'll understand what I mean. Some runs never get picked because you spend all day in the seat, you don't get any layover time, the work is imbalanced throughout the day (i.e. 1 round, meal, 3 rounds, etc.)

Oh ok yea thats what i must of over heard. Ok thanks. So why wouldnt you want less work, more meal time, same pay? Lol

Hey guys When you get hired and you go to your new depot sometimes you have the option of picking an 8 hour, 10 hour or 12 hour route. Not really sure what this means. Do you get more hours a week? Do you a get one more day off for working longer hours.  Im probably way off lol but can anyone fill me in on advantages & disadvantages. Thank you

Does anyone know how the parking is by Zerega Ave? Those who went for Bus training already did you drive or take public transportation?

I hope you had no problem with medical. Mind I ask when you restored your name to the list? The reason why I'm asking is because I plan on doing the same thing in about 5 months, however I don't want to do it too early since I have to wait until February 24th, 2019 or later to try again...

I restored my name last month mid July and was called for pre employment process a month later. Took my drug test Aug 15, then was emailed just 5 days after to come in for medical in 3 days which was today Aug 23rd. Passed my medical and now i start my training at Zerega Ave on Tuesday Sept 4th.

Any one knows whats the list number they up to in exam 4600 , i wonder how long it takes after drug test to medical and what happens in medical the second phase if the process

Call (212) 669-1357 to see what list number they are up to. I recieved an email 5 days after my drug test to report in 3 days so 8 days after phase 1(drug testing)

I just went in Wednesday Aug 15 for phase one of the pre-employment process and did my paperwork and drug testing. Today i just recieved through email an conditional offer of employment and to come in for a medical evaluation for this week Thursday Aug. 23. Didnt expect this email so soon. Pretty excited. 

Just went in for my pre-employment and drug testing at 180 Livingston on wednesday Aug. 15. If i remember reading correctly in the past that It usually takes anywhere to a  week to 3 months to get called back for medical. Correct? Also any idea the email address i should be looking for for that follow up?
