What should we say and how on the radio? "I approached at posted speed as per rule and it didn't clear"?

I think it depends by what signals. If you hit 3 automatic on time that you approached at posted speed but didn't clear, or a signal flashes on you, I don't think they'd fire you over that...or I hope not...

The original posting wasn't updated from 2016 I think. The starting pay is 37.49 and it goes to 39 once you finish schoolcar, then I believe 39.90 after 230 something days on the road.

probably not much. I take a min brake entering the station every time and I'm still on schedule most of the time. So to me it's not worth the risk of a station overrun. Maybe once I have more experience and I'm not on probation I'll try starting to brake later.

except for when you're on the road you'll meet some tss who tell you the opposite: go up to grade time at the posted speed, and fly into the station dont take a brake until the conductor board..

I heard the guy who's number 1 on the seniority list picks the Fox on the midnight.

they will call you eventually!! You won't be stationed in Queens tho...you'll be all over NYC.

congratulations!!!

You don't have to resign over missing a week. Plenty of people missed a week (you have to be out at least 5 days if you have covid) when I was in school car. They just made them make it up later on in posting days. Talk to your tss about it.

personally I would answer XX is better than 5 days on the worst line in your division. Especially considering they haven't been changing RDOs or tours to XX operators as far as I know. Plus XX you get some easy days switching or yard jobs...if you have 5 days on the Apple on the midnights you have no easy days.

No I wouldn't want to do sanitation. I don't like that.

have you been applying for other jobs?

It's not that bad.

I heard of several probationaries getting fired just in the last couple of months.

Are you thinking of resigning?

I thought that too for the final signal test.

I've seen a few people getting fired so far. And some people getting platform time and probation extended and so on.

You will have a good chance to learn on how to operate in customer service when you're road posting. 3 weeks is not really enough. They should do more road posting and way less yard posting , yard familiarization, yx...since I've been out I haven't been in the yards except for put in and lay ups. Luckily once you're out they will keep on the sake tour and rdos for the most part so your sleep schedule should be better than posting and yx (when they change your tour every week). IMHO 1 week of cbtc training is too long...you can learn to operate in cbtc in a day or 2 I think a week in a class is unnecessary. More road posting in general would be way more helpful l.

Definitely not enough operating time in schoolcar. We had some road days but half our road days were canceled. Road ops you do only like 8 station stops a day. Not enough. The real familiarization is happening during road posting and that's why a lot of people are making these mistakes in my opinion.

oh that's why I dont see any pictures

For some reason I can't see the pictures only the videos

They'll give it to you when you go to the school.
