Conductor2015 said there’s going to be a class in June, July and August, with over 60 people each. If that’s the case, the wait may not be much longer for many of us.

Yes and keep in mind that some people get put on medical hold and others are simply just not ready .... so for August, the class will definitely come into the 1000s list number.  

Ok so this is how it goes . After the June class.  Comes july21 and Aug 18.

The classes should be 60 / 60 / 65.

Yes it is a fact , came straight from school car . 😀 that's 185 people which puts me in there.  I don't care which class it is . We got this . 

I am so ready to leave conductor . Want to move that train . (Which I've already done lol)

Me too May 22nd. I got email and a call.

List number 101*

You sure they don't need 400 people so I can be called LOL

Well look at this way , you know that everyone will not be ready and everyone will not be medically ready.  Soooooooo that should give you high Hopes lol. Trust me alot of people get out on medical hold and they keep moving on  

School car tss confirmed to me that they need 180 people for June.  I'll harass him for the exact day sometime this week . That'll bring the number into the 1000s and that potentially puts me in there for the summer.

I was going to but I dont know how long it's going to take for them to reach my list number which is in the 1300s and apparently someone stated that theres a freeze 

Listen do not let the conductor opportunity pass . I’m sorry but I don’t know what kind of advice that was. Listen If you come in as conductor that’s fine , when they reach you for train operator you can leave as well . The only thing is that if you haven’t passed probation as a conductor and you don’t like train operator or can’t pass the training then you won’t have conductor to fall back on in the event you hadn’t passed probation . And besides if you come in as a conductor, they’ll always have promotional to train operator . What ever you decide take whatever comes first don’t let anything pass waiting for another .

Yard extra.. I'm not sure exactly what it means but I've seen it mentioned a few times. Somebody else can explain it better than I can. 

Yx is yard extra . You belong to the yards for a couple of weeks . About 4 weeks . You do yard moves , put-ins , lay ups , and transfer light trains , for example from the yard to a terminal . You can also be assigned to the stations doing station switching . 

Put ins - make up a train for for service 

light train - train not in customer service 

Lay up - taking a train from the terminal to the yard no longer in customer service .

and stuff like that

What are the class sizes if anyone knows. Is it more or less than 500 per class

 

About 60 to 70 people it depends

My list number is 1305. I doubt they would reach it by the end in January. But if we were selected for the drug test then o would assume they want to get everyone in before February 

Drug tests are good for 90 days . So you can be in the February class or a March class , who knows . They tend to move pretty quickly through numbers because some people are not ready or others get placed on medical hold . I just hope they move through the numbers quickly enough to place me in at least a February class . A supervisor told me the rumor is that they should be holding classes all the way till the summer cause they need about 2000 train operators to hire . The classes get approved as we go so nothing is set on stone but I believe it cause everyday I come to work and you have at least 1 or 2 train operators retiring every other day and stuff like that . And because they called for drug tests numbers as high as 1800s . So they obviously want to use us .

So does that mean I won’t be selected for the upcoming classes

Ofcourse you will when they get to your number . The highest number they called is 757 so for example I’m in the low 1000s. So realistically I might not make the January class but they’ll have more as soon as they get approval .

My drug test was November 21 for mtaexam 7604.   I have not yet received a phone call nor email. From recent post someone posted that the next class is dec 17 Jan 7 and Jan 28. Does anyone know if these dates are accurate?

If your list number is not in the 700s you have a ways to go . Yes those classes are accurate but the highest list number called is 757. I did my drug nov 5 and still nothing but they are not up to my number yet . So sit back and relax

Are you sure the January 7th class is for Train Operator? I was there yesterday for medical, list number 74*, and the class I’m in starts January 28th.

I've heard people say January 7th and January 28th..could it be 2 January classes I wonder? 

No it actually is January 28 , I guess in the beginning the date wasn’t certain cause I thought myself it was the 7 as well .

well in any case what’s important is that it’s not full and there’s a chances for getting in there .

Just got off the phone with ms Vargas . Last number appointed for the January 7 class is 757 (list number) and she says the class isn’t filled yet . So I’m very hopeful and keep checking for those emails  I’m 101* 

she doesn’t have any word yet on a February class but I know they’ll be one because of the rate they are calling us , so high in list numbers .

The December class is full. 

They just started calling for January as per a friend at 180 I just called. (But they dont work in hr, so grain of salt)

Your friend is probably was last for dec 17th. 

Call him. 

Lets not get people next up hopes down.

And you know what youre right I apologize guys 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I was having a conversation with him and I read what I wanted . Smh . Yea the December class is full not the January class 😑

That’s really weird considering I’m 73* and I’m in the Dec 17th class.

Did your friend defer / get placed on medical hold before?

I just find it hard to believe that 9 people filled up the Jan class.

My buddy was doing medical same time as me on Friday and he was 74*.

When you work for transit , getting hired for another title it’s said to be done “at your own time “

No but he was at work today and he didn’t make it to 180 Livingston till like after 10 am . So he’s last just that he obviously should have been there earlier but couldn’t .

He didn't ask if there are upcoming classes?

He was probably too excited to be focused on my questions to ask 😩😩 it’s aight tho he asked enough lol .... I saw someone on here is going tomorrow for a medical maybe they’ll get other info on another class .

The jan class is full now?

Class closed today with my friend 73* that’s what he was told while signing for the job .

So let me give you guys the heads up , my friend was there today list number 73* and he was the last person appointed to the January 7 class because December was full . I told him to ask for me and he gave my list number 101* and the person that does the hiring themselves says I have a ways to go . I’m just going to chill out now and just forget about it and go with the flow . I make 3 years on Friday as a conductor so im going to let this process be . I’m over it 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

PE 11/30. Got to the building at 615am. Third person on line. All drug tested and out by 11:10am. The lady who gave us the overview told us the people in our group would be considered for the December and January classes.  I found that strange after what I have read here, but that's what was said. I'm still not gonna expect anything until late winter at the earliest. List 16xx. They did tell us to call if we didn't hear in 2 weeks. Does anyone have that number handy?

Hey folks,

I went in of Friday 11/30, did my P/E and first drug test. List #170*. we were given a "homework packet" when we left containing that DCAS 21 page application. This is my question: I am a "non New York City" resident living in Yonkers, NY. As I read the homework it looks like I'm ineligible. Will  living in Yonkers deem me ineligible for the TO position? I guess I have to call in tomorrow to make certain. Lemme know...

 

Ofcourse not . You have transit employees living in Pennsylvania and many other places besides nyc

In order * and I have lots of hope for me ...

The January class should definitely be with numbers raging from 800 to 900. Why because I have to friends both in the December class . One with 530 ish and the other 730 ish . Transit doesn’t call in other and plus many people won’t be ready either . So I have 

Anyone in the range of 800s or 900s doing medical . I would love to think I have hope for the January class . List num 1010.....
