Yeah if you get a date for the medical your  in they swear you in on same day as the medical 

Keep in mind the drug test is only good for about 30/60 days so they are looking to hire you prob within the next month so if you have to move back keep that in mind best of luck 

If you are going in for the drug test they will have you come back around 2 weeks for the medical and final processing on your medical date you will get a start date and get sworn in .. so yes if you are going down for medical you get a start date and it will be in the email with what to bring for your medical 

When I was in training the instructors said a class a month until the new year and so far that’s been true so nexT classes will prob be oct , nov , dec, Jan 

they just completed the pick on Friday so now they are able to see how many spots still need to be filled I would imagine they start up with the hiring pretty fast 

Typically they don’t make it past 3,000 on these lists but things can always change at any time with Covid and 

I would think that would still apply cuz you would be a rehire so technically an new hire unless they give you your same seniority number then you would be good 

Yeah that was for current city workers now he wants vaccination to be mandatory for all new hires 

Yes it applies to all new city workers

That seniority list only contains new classes 1&2 so there are an additional 36 new hires that arent counted on that list ( class of July 19 and the august 2nd class ) so that real total should be 1825

The next class is august 2 they are in the 400s 

For the hiring process your list number for the exam is your seniority list number once you get hired they will give you a new seniority list number and then that’s the number you will go by 

The Bronx has a ton of spot to pick from east 180th the Westchester yard and a whole bunch more you should have no prob getting a pick in the Bx

You can use the contacts for the vision test .. also during training they will send a list of available jobs ( aka location , hours , and days off ) and you will go in seniority order and pick one at a time.. if your a class of 25 they will only send 25 jobs so as people start picking there will be less jobs aka the last person gets whatever job is left they don’t put extra jobs on the list

Hey, is there anyway you or someone else that's in your class can PM me with your pick choices. Myself and a friend of mine in the first class are just curious what your mini pick looked like, if not it's fine, thanks.

I worked with the new class flagging the other day all of there picks were day jobs

Going in for my drug test in a few days, my current job as a mail courier pays me $29.89 and once September hits I’ll be at $32 which my top pay at $35 (which would change within the next 2 years during the next contract) and my seniority is decent and I love my route especially where I live too! Now I’m here really contemplating wether it’s worth taking the pay cut or what. Im in a local aswell but im hearing nothing beats the city union. Is anyone else in the same boat as me who’s legit stuck. I wish MTA reached out too me before I got my full time position at my current job and now I got comfortable here too even leave to start over.. and btw with my current job I’ll be able to Transfer within the TriState and keep my same pay but with Trackworker I’m stuck in NYC . Just something I’ve been thinking longterm.

Yeah your spot sounds good I would also stay put and in a few years if you change your mind you can always start back the process

Was speaking to instructor he said they are going to hire another 175 ... and put in classes of 25 about 1 class a month next class starts June 7 and the last class will be going in November so make sure you keep checking your mail and junk/ spam 

Don’t forget to order your boots guys

No you do not notarize the form it says it in one of the instructions. I went today all set for the 3rd good luck guys

So you can get disqualified for points? I understand the pending tickets because i had to plead guilty n pay my pending tickets, how much points for them to disqualify you? also thought this job doesn’t require a driver’s license?

No they can’t disqualify you for points as long as your license is still valid. One person had points and a pending ticket they said just plead and pay but he said the ticket carried points so if he plead guilty he would get the points and that would make his license suspended. So they told him to try to get the ticket dismissed with a lawyer or you have to wait till some of the points come off  because he couldn’t move forward without it being taken care of. 

Yeah if you got the email to come in next week or week after your good to go as long as you pass the medical 

Kevin said they were hiring 50 for this class the day I went I saw the sign in for track worker list numbers was from 70-130s so they went through about 60 ppl for 1 day .. I also saw ppl get turned away because of points and pending tickets and a lot of people missed the first email because it went to junk mail. 

Well anything can happen with paper work and medical you don’t want to give two week notice and then something go wrong you can always give a verbal notification if you happen to have a good relationship with your employer just make sure you do what’s best for your self and making sure you have employment.
