Thats alright, we will be first called for August class, its only a month. Is there a confirmation for August class? because when i went for PE they said so far theres going to be a june and july class.

NICE!!! So you don't need to schedule when you're on hold? You just go in and submit the documents and they'll process you on the spot?

Yea, just spoke to my brother, he said thats what he is hearing from his supervisors and coworkers, Hes a train operator, he got in last year.

How big was May's class? Ive read earlier in the forum that May's class was small. If this is true, possibly August would be the last class of the year, because they almost made the 225 goal.

I don't think we are looking at the same column. I am looking at the No. Vacancies column. Last year was 600, this year is 225, I could be wrong, might be the hiring goal amount for this year.

If that is what they are going by then I think the rumors may be true, which was that the August class might be the last big class and probably the last class to make up for the retirement numbers and filled the shortage. Don't quote me on this as i am not 100% sure.

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Civil-Service-List-Certification/a9md-ynri/data I went to the website above and the vacancies number is decreasing, I think they almost hit their hiring goal. It started at 600, at the #1 list number, and now its down to 225 since my last PE which was in the beginning of this month. I'm not sure if i'm misinterpreting that, any1 here to verify?

I don't think Cuomo plan would obstruct union workers, its rather directed to management, hopefully. Oh and the July class size is 65, not 60. I think they will reach mid 1100s for July class. I think august class they would barely scratch 1300s. Does any1 have the exact date and class size for the august class? And is there going to be classes after august?

Up to only 1043? Only bout 20 people last week? The week before was from 970s-1020s, which is about 50 people. I don't know. I thought they would be over 1050s.

I would start preparing now, get ur paperwork together and what not. the queue is move fast af. they went from 850s for the May class to high 1000s or low 1100s probably by tomorrow for the July class. I might get called in 2-3 weeks for medical.

hahahaha, good luck bro, hopefully i get into the july class with the rest of u dudes

yea ur probably right. thats a good thing LMAO, ppl wont be prepared and flunk then the queue can move even faster to reach our list numbers. not trying to be and a-hole, but i need this job, real bad.

Thats strange, no one got an email today for medical? Probably the class is almost full. They called thursday and friday of last week for medicals.

my list number is in 11xx

Almost there, cant wait. I might be called to fill the last few of the july class, if not i should be one of the first few for the august class. Any guaranteed word about the august class?

sorry, disregard that last message

Hey. How do you use this sleep study device? Been having trouble with it. Does my sleep have to be straight sleep? My little bro woke me up when I was sleeping with the device. If I turn it off then turn it on wi

Nice, Im from the Bronx too, Ill be picking A also.

So should i see a specialist now? I dont want to go into the medical just to be placed on hold. What are my options? Should I do a sleep study? Or is there other/quicker examination for sleep apnea?

Thanks! If its not too personal, what is your weight/BMI and neck circumference? What was the root cause of your medical hold? Was is because of the risks of sleep apnea or the surgery? Did the doctor at MTA say anything about sleep apnea or you just happened to mention about you doing a sleep study? I have no medical conditions, my neck circumference is 16.5in and I weigh about 300lbs, so BMI is about 45, so I am considered obese, but I am a bit built/stocky, I do a lot of weight training. I don't snore or have any sleeping disorders. I sleep fine. I need this job and I'm afraid that I will be placed on medical hold for my weight. I've seen a lot of comments on holds for high blood pressure, diabetes, surgeries, etc, but nothing about obesity. Has anyone been on medical hold for just being obese?

Cool. One more question, sorry for the barrage of questions, how long is the sleep study?

How soon were you able to schedule?

Hey. Where did you do your sleep study. I tried contacting my hospital but they don't do it. Also does the place you went to is covered by health insurance?

Hey Schecter, whats your list number? It seems you passed the medical. I am a big dude too, and I am very worried they might put me on med hold. Whats your weight and neck size for comparison. I need peace of mind LOL.

Were you put on medical hold? What is your weight? Not sure if I should go see my doctor now to clear me of sleep apnea, but I don't want to be placed on hold and be delayed.
