you sure about that? cause theyre starting to send brand. ew crs to do bumblef*ck platform jobs

The need for conductors is just talk that I've been hearing,and I'm combining that with how many times I hear rcc over the radio asking conductors to contact crew office if they wanna work extra days,who knows.

That’s what I’m not understanding either. This was mentioned before. Unless they’re gonna speed up the hiring process before this exam expires. I just don’t get this at all. I mean I personally know conductors who just started and they either quit or got fired, so I know they’re in need of more conductors now. Best of luck to you and I hope it all works out. 

Yea the MTA is in need of a lot more conductors,I've been out on the road for about two months now and heard they are doing 2 maybe three more classes.After february that's it.to the people who don't get called the MTA is doing open competitive train operator/conductors exams very soon so ya might wanna look into that

wouldnt be surprised if theyre still in the 8000s

I was mid 8000's and my class graduated two months ago so maybe late 8000's or early 9000's

Wow! Sorry to hear this! What top bar are you referring to? 

One of the bars you have to grab to  reach for to get on the train from the tracks.If you can't safety get on the train from the tracks unfortunately your cut.

This is the sort of question I would ask your TSS. Not here.

I will if no one can give me a answer by tomorrow,wanted to exchange my before class that's all

Anyone know what train station we go to to pick up/exchange radio equipment?

anyone know who to call if you can't remember your payroll location?

Is a passport counted as a valid ID? 

Yes

Hope some one can answer this...do conductors stand all day while on a train or is there an optional seat for you to sit on while on duty?

Just went for mine and got placed on medical hold for high chances of sleep apnea 😮‍💨🫤. I’ll post updates here. It’s pretty straight forward for med though, vision test, hearing test, ekg, urine and blood pressure. When you go in to see the doctor they assault you a lil bit. Lol. 

assault??!! Lmao what did they do you?

I would recommend not to use Uber unless you truly need it.

Yes that's what I exactly mean

I wouldnt use uber in nyc, youll see your check disappear fast esp for you

Seems likely then I'll be sleeping at port authority till my bus home arrives

When you get that PM job that ends at 2:00 in the morning in Queens and there's no train running you back to New Jersey, you'll be driving

Then I might have to use Uber more then I would like.....side question,there's shifts that end at 2am? Yikes

I just got my email yesterday with my conditional offer. I have to go in on Monday for another medical test. Am I going to have to do another piss test even though I did one a little over a month ago when I went in the first time for medical?

You will take another piss test but not for drugs,they wanna test your glucose/sugar I believe it was,they will give u a little Dixie cup this time.

Congrats to everyone making it for the May 22nd class! See ya there....my name is Ted btw don't mind meeting any of y'all during class.

you get your boots for free, they pay for it, and once a year every october you get an additional allowance for an extra pair of boots, I got sworn in last september and got a [pair of boots that month and again in october

Oh cool didn't know that,thanks bro, I'm everything is so expensive and money is tight lol

I have a minor correction for you. If you’re in the A division(number trains) it’s 6 weeks. If you’re in B division(letter trains) it’s longer. I’m in the A division so I don’t know how much longer the B division is.

Oh ok thanks for the info,I would like to be in the B division since letter trains are closer to me in Jersey,I would why it's longer

They do have cars, but they don't drive into the city. They take the bus or train into the city. Coming and going in car is super expensive. The ones I know from CT and PA, they do drive. The ones from jersey dont.

I can agree since I live in Jersey,no sense to drive to the city unless there's free employee parking

You’re welcome. Be ready to have a decent size bag because you will be carrying a lot of books.

Yea I already have like a backpack duffle bag hybrid hopefully that's good.what time of the day are your classes? I know if I make it to the may 22nd class it might differ but I wanna get an idea,it would be great if mine are afternoon classes since I take my kids to school every morning.

I’m wondering, they just sent me a letter to go may 19 for my OPA. I’m a little concerned what are the chances I even get called for the next steps if I’m number 115xx

My opinion your chances are slim but just go for it,you never know what might happen
