well I hope I don't sound like a loser but after hearing all these honor stories , I feel bad for the guys that have take the test again or go back to your old jobs if you can , I was to report Friday 4/8 to start training 4/11 for list 8098 but since I took test in 09 I have moved 45 min. north of the city , started driving a school bus got into NYS tier 4 , Yes the money is the at the MTA but I have a job again with befits again and all the perks, I took this exam when I was laid off from a Chrysler dealership service department after 22 years , I have a good idea how this works since I was ready to be sworn in on list 5025 Bus operator but turned it down to drive school bus in the nysut union , I was able to get back on that list and ride it out ,I am hoping I can do the same with this list its good to 9/16 which is not far away but you never know what can happen nys schools its all about the budget, bob the bus driver

Please anyone willing to remind me about all the good possibilities working at the TA. well its been a long time on this list , finally got a letter to report for pre employment , not sure what is expect, or how fast it will proceed from here , living north of the Bronx's now , driving a school bus in westchester for 6 1/2 years , really could use a better paying job, If I can get in , not sure about the commute from the metro north line in Bedford station . READING AND TRYING TO GET SOME UNDERSTANDING OF THE SYSTEM it sounds like the A division would be work better for me , It could be real difficult if I had to go into Brooklyn wow I would be looking at over 2 hrs each way , If you work a night shift one day can you be assigned a day shift the next , I really want to report with a positive decision when reporting since when I took the test back in 09 I was unemployed at the time after a long run in new car dealership and a little older now , My youngest just started college and I need a 2nd job or one good paying like train operator . This would be a no brainer for me if I still live in Astoria Queens my home town .
