OA = Mabstoa 

Vs TA NYCTA

From what I understand NYCTA is protected by New York City and those employees cannot get laid off

All you need to do is look at 2010 when we saw massive service cuts - that was one of the major recessions we had that started in 2008. The federal funding that the  received recently WILL run out and they will need another permanent funding source sooner rather than later. The prospect of service cuts down the road is very real. Some bus operators seem to think that it isn't possible. It's VERY possible.

Right now they are hiring like crazy. Wouldn’t they do a hiring freeze before they do layoffs?

According to the news - MTA was saved from laying off drivers due to federal funding. How likely would that happen specifically to OA.... If no more federal funding is given?

That’s absolutely NOT true. You can use your Ava’s during your probation as well and it won’t count as bad time and you won’t be extended those days. 

He’s asking about pre-planned trips a.k.a. vacation. You cannot take a vacation while on probation. AVA hours are different.

We showed up at Livingston Street and filled in paperwork and they let me in first thing in the morning. Just show up never know what will happen. 
 

 

anyone make it through and have any info on pre planned and booked trips?

Once you are high you cannot take off until you complete probation which is usually one year after your higher date.Once you are high you cannot take off until you complete probation which is usually one year after your higher date.

Has anyone went from TA to OA? I live in the Bronx and if I were to take the dispatcher test I would HATE to work in Brooklyn or Queens. I got hired about a month ago. Took 0100 but they never called me.

Hey everyone. So I had a rather interesting day. Everything was smooth sailing up until I walked up to window #3 after seeing the doctor and handing in my packet. As I waited for my packet to be reviewed and someone to call me up to then be finger printed I was told my packet was under review and that someone would be reaching out to me via phone call or email. Now I’m a bit bummed but I know I’ll be fine because I have no criminal history, a clean drivers license and abstract and really nothing to be concerned about. I’m thinking maybe because I listed so many jobs in a short term period it’s due to that ( I work construction ) so it’s not uncommon. Anyways I’ll keep you guys posted.

Packet being reviewed about what? They didn’t give you any other information? Did you have any pending tickets? Criminal convictions? Any information they asked for that you did not put in?

I'm sorry 😢 I guess we wore the number out? You will probably have to go the route u initially suggested @Kenstyles which is to go down there in-person. That's the next best option if that number isn't helpful anymore. 

I got in for the medical. thsnks! @AprilCakes

I disagree. I was able to correct a major issue by going down in person and being pro active because I want this job. To each its own.

When you went down did you have to show guard any appointment letter to get inside to talk to someone? @N3Gro

I need to reschedule my second appointment but no response to phone calls or emails in almost a week. What would happen if I just go to 180 Livingston without an appointment? Will they let me in to talk to someone?

@Kenstyles Happy Saturday! I tagged u on this post above a couple of days ago. Try calling them on Monday to reschedule. 

Hi April, thank you so much. When I called that number the lady that picked up and said not to call it anymore and take me to three numbers I’ve been calling already. She said she’s been getting a lot of calls but she can’t do anything.Hi April, thank you so much.

Does anyone know how to reschedule the second appointment for final processing?? Should I go to 180 Livingston and try? No reply to email or calls to all 3 numbers

I was supposed to go in for my medical and final today but I am out of the country until Monday. I’ve been calling and emailing and not really able to get anyone so I can reschedule my medical. Is there another email I can use?

They called me to be there today for my medical and final processing but I won’t be back in the country until Tuesday, March 22. I’ve emailed employment center and called all their numbers and no response. I don’t know what to do to get this medical rescheduled.
