It happens Crew Office goes by bodies and pass numbers been through it for four and a half years as extra extra. Somedays you get the Bear! Just a word to the Wise don't complain to the Crew Office about it or all you will see is that Tour!

Congrats to those who passes now the REAL run begins! Remember these words when they eff with you with late jobs early jobs or sitting on the board for 7 hrs and 55 minutes on yer Friday and picking up a whole job, While you got Plane tickets in yer back pocket for a short get away.. "Needs Of The Service".... Our TSS told us that when we passed i still hate him for it lol! I think that may start with the 3/25 Class.. They need fresh bodies in the B Div...

You was a CR a bit Different...

207 Barn cant maintain them correct...

Then good chance it wasnt the rain!

Trust me Rain has Nothing to do with it.. R42's are "interesting" animals to tame... Even the CI Rebuilds i was able to master when folks seen them on the and hated them.. A trains a train just takes time...

R42s operate Fine in the rain worked the Line for four Picks never had a Issue.. You a T/O?

You get whats available(Due to the Needs Of The Service usually its something that not "perfect" either) and its most likely a One Shot Deal... Meaning you Fail yer Road Practical hand in yer tools... Dont go Looking for a Tech train on your Road Practical folks!! Well if its raining... Good chance you gonna See SMEE equipment...

I was the same way heck still is... Hint hint hint...

Thats always a good sign!

Yup road practical they dont play when we had ours we had R62A's from the 6 Line the, Supt stood in the operating cab with his hand on the cord...

Oh yeah talk about a chitting yer pants moment... Been there!

They dont like stuff like that esp if you are from the Open Competitive list.. You just wasted theirs and your time... Looking at three four of five years as extra extra with no life and you can prob get Weekends Off and good jobs can do that!

Went back to their former titles(If they had them) or got clipped or just quit. Seen that happen a few times myself. Not everybody can be a Train operator... Thats how the Dynamic Braking on the NTT works sorta like the R62A's... I learned to Listen to the train it tells me when the dynamic brakes kick in.. In time you will be able to listen to the train too as well...

Anything negative on your record still stinks down here no matter how small... Next time the same incident happens its days in the street...

Heck we HAD what a few of em Huh???? Thats how they usually do it.... Gotta be on Point thats all i can say.

Good to see him back in action again i had him when i did my A Div to B Div training... He called the R160's "pieces of garbage"

Already getting noticed and the WRONG way not good.... They arent playing with you T/O's get in in your heads It happens esp with those R62A's.. You are gonna LOVE the flagging out there on the Midnights... Esp on that Apple....

The way the A Div is popping off that's an understatement... Yer gonna be making mucho $$$$ In late clears though! Cha Ching!

Prob Not but im sure the trainers went though drama... When you go out on your own and do chit like that another story...

Which is of coruse screwing up the Pick since they have to have more Yd Jobs for the New T/O's and its bumping people out of Jobs... I say it will last just this Pick until they figure out something else, this was another "reactionary" Move...

Dont worry they change it up anyway...

Three months in the Yard will help them a lot they had to change the way the pick works because of this.. Since they gonna be pouding that road for years, any days off the road is always a plus.

Yep true! Now that being SAID you need to KNOW what you say on that radio when you encounter stuff like that.. Read the "Near Miss Bulletin".. Tell your Classmates!!!

The October 29th Class (those who are left) of 2001 thanks you! We even got one working RCC....
