Starting pay 38 top pay 41 I think.

It's not possible. There are only about 3800 train operators total, in all 3 divisions. 500 that's like 15% of the t/os down here. And there are only 5 months left of the year.

Yeah maybe a panic attack. I wonder if he's still here

I found an article about it: https://bklyner.com/mta-train-operator-custody-man-jumps-front-r-train-sunset-park/

Wasn't there also a train operator on the Romeo who had a 12 9 and he ran away in the tunnel and they arrested him for it?

There was a senior guy who did that 15 years ago or something like that. He got charged with manslaughter. Not sure if that's what rtoman is referring to.

It's one 1 by contract right? I dunno why they are telling new hires training is one year probation longer. That's just not true.

They are probably just trying to scare them like they did to us when we did orientation. I remember they said if you even close your eyes and look like you're sleeping, even off the clock, you can get fired....the first day of actual school car we went to CCY and I went to the crew room and everybody was sleeping with blankets and pillows lmao

It's 5 months for the A and 6 months for the B. Who said that a tss??cuz nobody uses the term "motormen" down here, or at least I've never heard it.

So true! And that guy didn't even get fired. He's restricted. But he's still here. But I doubt he'll survive this.

You have to key by 4 diferent automatic before you even get to that home signal at Ocean parkway. When you do a Bravo lay up the dispatcher tells you "you have permission to key into ocean parkway ", usually just the first signal unless it says otherwise , so that the train behind you can enter Brighton each. That guy keyed 4 automatics and approach, tried to key an home signal. Hit the homesignal. Then drove down the stop arm. Then he split the switch that wasn't set for him. And he said "I didn't do anything wrong, I had the line up" lmao.

It should be April!

I saw it on Facebook on one of the rto groups.

It's both. One In April one in August

Union says there is gonna be a class in April and then not another until August. 50 people per class. Not sure if that's gonna be it for this list or it gets extended again.

January 2020??

Weren't you already in schoolcar? Try calling 180 livingstone or go there in person maybe.

Yeah I remember him. I wonder if they got in too

I read that metro north test is super hard too.

I'm all for getting bigger raises, I was just saying it'd be hard to get that seen the current circumstances. But I do want bigger raises!

https://new.mta.info/coronavirus/ridership

it's 40% lower than it was before covid.

you will have a life even after you start with transit. You will be able to enjoy a lot of the things you do now, maybe you will have less time and less control on when your free time is. But transit is not the end of your life. It's what you make of it.

ridership is low though, so it's gonna be tough for the Union to get higher raises, especially since they are already fighting to stop the service/jobs cuts that are coming next pick.

. You gotta go to RCI school tho.
