Ok that is good to know, I am just trying to make sure I am not getting skipped or anything. My list is 269X, Once I see or hear 27XX in a class I already know to call thanks. Hopefully I will be in the December class.

Haha, that will be a really nice early Christmas present for you.

Good afternoon to all just wondering if anyone in the 26XX range will be in the November 15th class. Just trying to see approximately where they are as far as what list numbers will be in the next class. Thanks for the information.

Yes. At lease few 26xx will be in the Nov 15 class.

Got the email yesterday to come in Monday the 8th for medical, 25xx .. question for anyone who filled out the questionnaires. What’s the pass number ? Is it your list number ? 

During the pre employment, the lady told me pass # is for people already on the job.

Oh ok. I did day 1 a week after you. Good luck in schoolcar, keep us updated!

2600s most likely will be in DEC class from the look of it. Which is fine.

Anybody that was recently hired know what the starting hourly rate is now? I’m going in on Tuesday to finish processing for the November 15th class.

What is your list number range?

Good afternoon to all, did anyone receive a call to report for medical next week? Did P/E on Oct 15th. Just wondering since there is a tentative class Nov 15th.

I was wondering the same. Do they call people in for medical only 1-2 weeks before a class start? 

Do they send letter to the people they are not going hire? Either failed drug test or they dislike the information on the pre-employment?

That's so good! 

Haha, I was thinking maybe it is reduced pay during training. Like $20 or something. 

What is the drop out rate for training. Out of 100 people, how many failed or quitted.

20xx

Did you tell you how much is the pay during training?

Hopefully I make it for the November 15th class I'm still waiting to hear if I got put back on the list I was suppose to start on the 4th but I got put on medical hold then came back a week later to clear my medical hold and passed to then go to the desk so I can get fingerprinted but when I got up there they told me that theres no vacancy at the moment but that there was a class coming up on Nov 15th this waiting game with them is so draining and I got my conditional job offer on Sept 28th

Best of luck for you. Call them, email them make you presence known. 😂.

Is it one class a month?

I know one classes started early this month. And from reading this forum. If remember correctly one class started at August. But situations are change daily. No one know exactly when is next class.

23xx here, waiting to be called back for day 2 medical/final processing which could be any week now. Projected next class is mid Nov. 

26xx here, then I guess I am not going to make it to Nov class. Since 23xx is still not finished medical. One class only 75 people right?

Let me know when you get the email/phone call .. post in the thread ! Since you’re a little ahead of me ! Thanks !

Definitely, same for you. Sometimes they call people lower down the list first. You never know.

are you scheduled to appear for your first day of school yet?  or did you only take the Drug test and not the medical?  Cuz....if you didn't take the medical....the jokes on us!!  It took them 4 years to call/email us....i'm gonna assume it's gonna take another 4 years to call us again

Don’t think so, MTA is short on T/Os right now. Even considering cutting training time to speed up the process. I bet one to two months wait max for medical.

Took my pre employment last week on Wednesday 10/13. Patiently waiting for medical and my list number is 2591

Thank you. I suggest you edit out the last one or two #. To 25xx or 259x. You don’t want your real identity revealed. Lol. 
I took it one day after you, I am 26xx. Haha 

Anyone here received email for medical? And what is your list #?

If your PMs you'll stay PMs for 1 week with set rdos for that week the following week you can be either midnights or AMs with different days off just because you were off a weekend last week doesn't mean they'll keep you weekends off the next week. 

So 12-8, 8-4, 4-12? Nothing random like 2am to 10 am?

That particular pamphlet is for the people in Capital Construction. That is a whole different department from RTO hence the different benefits package.

Their benefits look much better. Lol. 
What a week of typical work of schedules look like? Some morning shifts, some evening shifts and some night shifts? Or more consistent? 
If worked on weekend last week, would they schedule you off this weekend?

I'm curious; where exactly did you see it say that we get 3 weeks paid vacation in the first year?

MTA benefits

LOL True that. I used to do that when I was younger but now I wont go over 2  or max 3 light beers, I'm a light weight now. I doubt that would show up on a breathalyzer 24 hours later...

Let’s discuss the positive side of things. I read online first year new MTA employees have 3 weeks of accrued vocation in first year. 4 weeks second year. Can you put in vocation request any time of the year? Is it easy to get approved? 
How about 12 paid holidays per year work? 
Is over time easy to get, or need to kiss some as to get? Lol.

thank you

But from what I read there, it not the best choice to drive. Since beginning and ending location may be different. Let’s say beginning your shift at Coney Island, but ending your shift at 179th st Queen.

Well ofc. You're operating a 3-600 foot, 400 ton train. Why would they tolerate alcohol in such a situation?

Well, will definitely go sober if I ever become a T/O. I do need a big motivation to make me go sober completely. Getting this job will do it. Lol. 

13 minutes ago, Schecter said:

Yes mandatory 3 days off, paid and drug test after 12-9 to make sure you weren't high and could of potentially avoided the 12-9 and for legality issues as well.

Wow, after learning all of these details, this job does sound kind of stressful now. Lol. Even more stressful than when I was in  military  in some ways. Military is hard on drug also, zero tolerance, but alcohol is fine. Lots of hangover days and still work fine. But I guess not for this job. 

20 hours ago, MarkGuy said:

6. No. You are given 3 days off after a 12-9 but they're up to u if u want to. You can take more time than that too. In any way you'll be drug tested and briefly removed from service pending results. 

Mandatory 3 days off? paid or unpaid? Drug test after 12-9, why?

Also keep in mind that not all jobs finish where you’ve started. So you can report to Coney Island on the F and finish at 179  in Queens. 

So each shift starts and ends at the final station of each train? Never in between?
