S/A Vee

Hey Vee long time no see. How's everything been? Are you still a C/R ? Any plans to move up if so?

 

 

Station Supervisor Level I

Hey whats up Will,,,, Still hanging in there. I have been a T/O for about three years now. Congrats on the supervision promotion.

that's something new......they are up to something ....

Did anyone receive their results for SA #6600?

My lady took it at Brooklyn Tech on Sunday, 12/13/15 (AM).

 

We contacted DCAS but there's no record of her SSN on file, so we spoke with an representative who couldn't find anything on 6600, and said we probably have to call MTA directly. 

 

Any ideas?

DCAS no longer administers the test for transit. Transit does the testing themselves. Contact transit. BTW they are really slow in grading exams. i guess when they need people they will start scoring it.

I have my first practical coming up and not going to lie I am a bit nervous.  I have been studying my notes everyday, past all my quizzes but what really counts now is the 1st practical.  I am an old fart (lol) so I might not be as quick as someone younger but hope someone can share any words of wisdom.  The practical for cuts/adds could be on any trains that we learned so far right ? (R32/42, R46, R68, R160), in addition to reading the iron, track questions(parts of a track) and reading signals (low home, marker, standard home signal) ? Thank you. 

Just take your time. Remember just to go in a sequence. Or in a certain order. Dont jump around all over the train. Also, when at home pretend your doin your practical on a train . good luck.

car wash at canarsie....track indication

so...someone with specific knowledge on this matter, please help me here: i need to understand:

what is this "extra" or "extra extra" business? i heard ppl saying they were fighting/praying to pick up jobs...what does that mean?

once you pass the class u get sent somewhere and then there's nothing for you to do? just sit around playing with your fingers? at least do you get paid for that? and if a whole day or days or week goes by and you were not given a job then what?? no paycheck? what's the point of hiring all these ppl if there are no jobs for them to do? I have also read somewhere that in the first 1-3 yrs you will be at work for a total of like 12-16 hours /day as they kindda "split" your day up...so you do a run then you have a 2-3 hours "break" ( which does not count as working hours and so you do not get paid for it) and then maybe you pick another run and then you have another " break" and so on until u make the total of 8 "working hours" - which means u actually work all day to get paid for 8 hours....i find this to be ludicrous ...IS IT TRUE???????

Also...is it true you start this job with no vacation days or sick days? an you have to work overtime and take that in time ( not $$$) to build some vacation days? IS THIS TRUE???? and if yes, how is this even legal??? nyc/nys labor laws do not apply to MTA???

Guys, I get it...a job is a job these days....I am just trying to get some accurate info...i heard/read too many different things....

 

Tks. so much ......

 

when do you think they will get to #1,500??

 

Who is telling you this? Almost all the information you received is wrong. Basically any minute you are on transit time you will be paid. Down to the minute.

"XX" means you dont own a job. You dont have a regular reporting time or location. You will sent to any location within the division depending on what tour you are given.
