And also remember a lot of train operators are out comp for a maximum of 2 years for assault or 1 year for a 12-9, currently 750 RTO members are out on comp. So they need people don't lose hope, just timing and patience is key.

What’s “are out comp” means? Is that slang for out of compensation aka being force to not working/not getting paid?

Can anybody recommend a good shoe for the classes? I know we get two pairs but those are insulated and are better suited for winter time.

With all that done do they tell you if you made the june 20 class?

Yes. Assuming you don’t get on medical hold, you will go back to window 3 and wait for interviewer to call you. She’ll look at all your paperwork, make any corrections with you and if everything is in order and you are not missing any docs.  Then, she’ll sworn you in on the spot and you officially join MTA. She’ll tell you if you make it to the class or she’ll just tell when is the next class.

What exactly do they do at medical? I'm scheduled for 5/26 List #38**

You fill out some paperwork and fill two online questionnaires. Later, the nurses take you in, you do the ekg, vision, hearing and urine tests. Afterwards, a Dr will call you in and check the results w you plus ask you a few questions and do general checkup. If you pass, he gives you a paper where it says you are fit for the job.

I just want to let you guys know I passed the medical yesterday even tho was brutal waiting all day. Hopefully I see you guys in June 20 class. Good luck to y’all.

What was your list number again

38xx

So I just got the conditional offer. Will be doing the medical on 05/23 in early morning. What should I expect?

I'am also list # 38** Pre employment on 4/5. Haven't heard anything since. Any info if you do stop by Livingston greatly appreciated! I will try and go on Tuesday as that's my next day off and ask some questions as to where we stand.

So I went in there and the security guard and lady of front desk asked me if I had an appointment. I explained to them that I had my drug test back in 4/4 and I gave them the excuse that HR asked me to bring some missing paperwork. Unfortunately, they didn’t let me in and talked to HR. She told me to wait for the medical test email and to bring in all missing docs by then. I also ask her if she knew where we were in the list # and the lady just said she didn’t know.

Hey if you do decide to go can you share your experience? ..they also skipped my list # but I'm assuming it depends on how extensive your job history etc is, since it all has to be verified. 

No problem. I will keep you guys posted.

Thanks cause I was like damn I don't have no new info to tell. I can say it was a Iot of people there today that just showed up. They all were missing one piece of info or another and just showed up handed it in and was taken to the back  

I was wondering what do you mean by being taken to the back? Did they do the medical on the spot today? I will have to drop by tomorrow since it seems they skip my list # (38xx)

Hey Guys Haven't been here in a while, so I'll be brief

 

List # 375*

Got a email for my Conditional Offer on Monday 5/2. I was told report to 180 Livingston 5/5 (which was today) for medical and final processing. I did my medical, all I have to do is give my paperwork in.  On the email, it said I will join the May 16th class. Unfortunately I will not attend that class due to my prior engagement that will conflict with that date. I spoke to Ms.Vargas and she told me that I will most likely join the June 20th class. Things are moving fast so stay on top of things!! Good Luck to all 

Thank you for the update. Congrats!

Idk what the deal with medicals are

Hello all, 442x here. Just got home from pre employment.  First off, it’s a LONG day, be ready for that and make sure you have no other obligations during the time you’re there.  If you work take off.

 

with that said you’ll go sign in at the front desk and continue to the 5th floor .  You’ll check in and sign your name that you’re reporting.  For us, they took us upstairs with the director of training g and gave us some things to learn and know about the job.  We then went back to reception and someone went thru the whole employment processing paperwork on a group basis

 

*my advice, have everything already completed, it’ll get you through faster.*. Quicker you hand in your application is the quicker you get taken to the lab.

 

you’ll then go the lab where it says stamp your paper….unnecessary for us so only do that if they tell you.  You’ll wait (again) to take a urine drug test.  They will not provide water unless you don’t provide a specimen.  But you’ll be there 3 times as long for sure.  You’ll then receive your drug test copy of papers and be sent on your way .  They say they’ll contact you within 3-90 days

 

what the training director said:  “don’t worry about how many classes, we’re hiring train operators all year and we need at least 600”. “We’ll be doing two classes a month then skip a month, then do another two classes, etc”

so with that said, more emails to come for sure…keep a look out

 

if y’all can just let me know what we’re up to medical wise it’d be appreciated 

 

any questions I can help 

Did you get a chance and ask them where they are in the list # for medical? Appreciate it if u have the info.

Is anybody in the 37xx or highs 36xx that already got called for medical?

Hey ! My list number is 36Xx. I took my pre-employment  on March 29th. Still haven’t heard anything in regards to  the medical. Is this normal ? When should I expect to hear anything? Thanks 

I’m in the same boat, my list # 38xx and I took my pre-employment on 4/4. Have heard nothing from them yet.
