No whatever RDOs that are left are the ones you can pick you can pick different jobs on different days yes well whatever is left...

The Pick Person will help you so dont worry...

Thanks 🙏 

I personally don’t mind switch tours (I do midnights ) if I get the jobs I want with the rdos but since im far down this list do they still clock peoples rdos since they filled damn near everything plus all the classes they pushing out

You can pick a redline job if tis available..

You only can pick jobs for five days in the same Districts Queens North or the South..

The Pick Persons will be there to assist you.

Word to the Wise make it your Business to know that you will have a job waiting for you to Pick if you think "Oh it wont happen" they will pick for you...

So would I be able to pick my own Rdos if I decide to just do single day assignments in a district 

I’m trying to understand the pick process I’m in division b and I keep getting different ways they handle it. I heard there doing a new thing called redline so that everyone can pick.also is it possible to just pick single jobs off any line that still Available or it has to be in the same district

Test date are based on when you filed to take your test and also how you will be graded also

For anyone starting today in the March 4 class good luck and wish you the best

Thank you and thanks for the insight! I am kinda nervous about school car but I will focus and concentrate, I’m hearing most people have difficulties when it comes to the practical when “cutting out the doors” 

I’m in the class just past in January .Everything becomes easier as long you take notes and pay attention.Door cutouts to me is simple compared to learning the circuit board of these trains(which gave me a headache).im in b division so we have to learn more  train’s compared to the a division.Also yes please take the train it will cover you cause that’s not you fault.

I remember my first day when 2 superintendents were showing off that "they can get anyone fired as the pleased" or "I have the power to put you up for termination" shit is just pathetic they still do this.

I agree they still use the scared tactic's to intimidate new people but my opinion change when I saw it in person.plus system safety been on a roll after the 2 derailments and that person getting drag the other day.

From what my TSS’s been saying a lot of conductors are being fired.MTA are hiring large classes of T/O’s and C/R’s. My class  has 110 conductor’s and the next class going to have just as much people

I have a friend that  took the conductor exam with me back in 2016. I believe his list number is around 12,XXX. He hasn’t received anything back from the MTA. Is there any hope for him? Is there a phone number or email he could maybe reach out ? To get info on his status. Thanks for the responses in advance. God bless.

Last thing I heard they where around the 11,200.my friend got in the same class I’m in now and his list number was 11,1xx’s so they working they way up 

They been very tight lip about next classes.but they going to keep having classes till the next list is established. Hopefully everyone make it to the next class

lot of info in a short amount of time, make sure you study the materials they give you.

First week was orientation, then the union hall the next day for your pass and other important info, you climb onto the train for the first time on Thursday 

Thanks so I will definitely keep a notepad on hand at all times.I see  it’s a lot of information first week just orientation basically. The women gave me a schedule for the first 3 day but I’m assuming my third day I’ll get the official schedule. What’s the schedule like

I’m starting school car next week for conductor. Can anyone shed any advice or how there particular experiences was

I just got a phone call as well. I will check my email. It says to report Friday at 6am. I would suggest printing out all the paper work and filling it at home peacefully. So it’s a smooth process. 

Yea fill it out at home it will be much easier because when you get your interviewer you’ll still have more paperwork to fill out.the less you have to fill out the better.Also I do recommend still dressing in business casual even though people was just in street wear.
