Hey guys, can anyone tell if the hire slowdown is due to the current contract negotiations or something else. 

That's exactly what I was wondering as well

I'm hoping something starts soon ready to transition already lol

16xx    Still waiting. Hope the list gets rolling again. 

I'm hoping this rally they're having doesn't effect the hiring process for TO. I'm ready to start lol

For those in school car hows your progress going? Are the instructors helpful in teaching the information?

Hey guys, I'm new to the group. I currently work as a Bus Operator in SI and I picked up the gentleman that works at 180 Livingston (short caucasian). I asked him what was last list number hired and he told me it was 1067. I don't know if he or Ms. Vargas would be more accurate. He told me to be patient as TO list normally doesnt move as fast as others, such as BO.

Thanks for the info!

Likewise I got the b div like I wanted with quite a few spots before it closed up. They teased that the a is a lot easier (and to an extent that’s right).

Buut the Sups conveniently left out that the A also has more signals to learn and (if what’s said here is true) a much stricter work environment.

anyways let’s all win it! Btw a tss told me today he’s teaching a September class. Just thought you guys would like to know.

Nice

I was reading the job description of bridge and tunnel officer, most don’t know it’s not only a collect toll position, you actually do a lot more, your armed with a firearm, you patrol areas, you make arrests, yes they don’t have any need for us to collect tolls anymore but a lot of people are retiring, and from what I was reading from another forum there’s plenty of things to do. I totally forgot about to exam to be honest when I got the letter in the mail I was shocked.

O wow I wasn't even aware of that so you are basically transit police?

Good morning everyone, totally off subject of train operator but while the majority of us are waiting to go in for second PE, has anyone taken exam 5606 bridge and tunnel officer back in 2014? They finally established the list numbers for those that took it. I would love either position to be honest, but I think TO would be the quickest for me cause I already done my first p/e. 

I took it but I feel like they robbed us with that, now they have ez pass tolls which diminishes the whole purpose of having that position. Whoever took that exam should either be refunded or given an option of having a better spot in which ever position they want to apply for.

I got sworn in for the 8/19 class. They gave me a nycers form to fill out to transfer my city time I already have over to theres. I had 2 years of city service prior to this job

I'm confused I was told from a tss at pe that city time doesn't transfer because mta is state funded. 🤔 As far as comp time is concerned

Did you do a second PE? I haven't yet

Naw only did it once, hopefully we do it again soon. It only last 90 days I was told. Wishful thinking 🙏🏽 Trust they wouldn't had called us in if it wasn't guaranteed already that we were going there. Just playing the waiting game,  this is the part I hate the most. But best believe with some blessings GOD will make it happen.

Hope everybody is well.  16xx here. Hoping for some movement (2nd pe)  in the fall. To all the brothers and sisters in school, best of luck to all of you. To everyone like me, stay hopeful. 

15×× same here hope I get an opportunity to join before the year ends.

How long is the training?

40 minutes ago, AgPhoenix2581 said:

Minus around 3.50. If I made that, I'd be whole lot less stressed about all of this.

I make 18.50 and I bust my ass giving out tickets, I would love to make around that range. This pay is disrespectful 

1 hour ago, AgPhoenix2581 said:

It takes too long to get decent pay, and their's only one path to Supervision. Talk about being cuffed at your ankles.

Then their's the limitations of our job duties in the first place. The sooner I can leave this title, the better.

Don't you make 27 per hour?

And that's the sound of my career going to hell. Guess I'll be using this job to get my shit together and move the hell on.

At least you in the door, my toes barely keeping it ajar lol.

I was debating whether i should do pd or not because i was being considered for the October class but pd is not like it use to be. Its still a great opportunity though. I have an uncle and 4 cousins who are in pd, my uncle is a detective in intel and is about to retire, one cousin just turned sgt, and the other 3 has at least 2 years. Pension is great, benefits are great, but they mess around with your pay for the first few years until u get ur top pay. Overtime is limited also, i think its 40 hrs every 3 months max. What i like about PD is that theres a vast amount of depts; if u dont like one thing u could move to another dept, with transit u cant, ur options r limited. ur either a conductor, operator, dispatcher, or supervisor.

At least you don't need a shaving restriction letter lol. I'm a tea2 and I can't stand it anymore,  I need a more relaxed career, let's see what happens. Wish you the best, start studying and get that mindset ready to cram in that info💪🏾

Vargas. She said if I couldn't be in the August class, that there wasn't another to put me in past that.

That sucks, well I guess PD for now...

I'd love to know this, cause I need to know if I need to get ready to leave Transit.
