Good luck to all! Took 2nd PE 6/27 (1st one was 11/27). During orientation the grey hair man in charge of training (name slips mind @ moment) said that if we where here then we should be getting called soon for july class. He admitted he’s not too sure and that cant be true based on knowledge available (currently up to about 1060 and im list #15**), but good news is they are definitely expecting an August class.  And by then should be pushing low 1400’s. So i expect medical by fall and in there by end of year @ this rate. MTA gets their budgets quarterly thats why they never know too far ahead about classes, but things should continue smoothly barring any unforeseen circumstances. 

Just got the call as well. List #15**

Will be my 2nd PE 6/27. Hopefully they pick up because multiple PE’s are tedious. My 1st one i arrived @ 6:30am & didnt leave till 7pm 😩

Whats the most PE’s done b4 medicals?

Yeah I agree I cant see in what world the MTA would let a T/O smoke before they operate a train or at all in that matter. Luckily they dont do hair test like the NYPD does because if they did a lot more people might of failed the drug test.

MTA  T/O is a federally regulated safety sensitive position, until its legalized federally it won’t matter. 

Actually just knowing MTA is only in nyc i doubt its federally regulated. State regulated safety position for sure though. 

So I saw that nyc has officially stopped testing for weed when hiring. Do you think MTA has adopted to this policy? I see construction workers are excluded so its very possible MTA is excluded as well. Thoughts?

I couldn’t agree with you more. I was the lady freezing in front of you on Wednesday. I chalked it up as getting there early to secure a seat being that the place had many people standing up filling out paperwork..... I’m assuming there’s a method to the reason they are calling us in the mid to late 1000s so early in the game. 

I definitely see another p/e in the future.

Awww damn. Yea was def 1 of the colder days. I was lookin out for ya boots too thats the funny thing. Thinking if she still here i have no right to complain lol. And i hope your assumptions are correct, wouldnt make any sense to call us if they have no plans of swearing us in until like june/july. Im still showin up early next time, better safe than sorry

Im number 155* and did my 1st P/E wednesday. I know ill be a while but i feel the need to chime in for those in the higher numbers since only 3 digit lost placements seem active on the post. From what ive gathered im looking forward to @ least 2 more P/e’s and a couple medicals. Im hoping for a march class honestly but would love yall imput

PS - i was 2nd online and arrived about 5:45am and still didnt leave till 7! They dont go by ticket number so have patience! Thank god i brought my phone charger and a tablet. Caught up on a couple of shows I favor.

Boy am i happy. Got the 1st letter to start the employment process. My appt is nov 28th and my list # is 155*

I know i have a long process to deal with as far as the medical and psychical part before even being considered for classes but im patient. Especially since i wasnt expecting to even get a letter till feb/march. This is life changing so im all for it.

I know it’s easier said than done, you have to be patient. I was feeling the same way, at my current job that I hated, but they will call! You have to scroll through the thread and see what number one of the members mentioned they are that has been called. I start Monday the 24th and I’m 51x. Someone stated there are 20 open spots left for that class, so they should be well into 600s by now.

Appreciate it cuz this stuff right here....CRAZY!!!

My list # is 150*

Has anyone close to that # been contacted?? Ive been patiently waiting but the way this is set up - triggers my anxiety! Even if they just start process id be satisfied....any clue to around what # on list they are up to?
