  1. Actually the one in the SIM is R160. The master controller on the 160's are all the way in the right, next to the cab window. The 142-142A's the master controller is in the middle of the console

     

    I know.  The first time i was in the sim the 160 was broken so they put us on the 142 simulator for the 7 line.  That's why i said I was curiosity.  I like that the master is in the middle.

  2. @RTOman Yessir lol, but we still have our second yard practical to do. Prepping for service, and BP rupture. Just a lot more steps than prepping for yard movement

     

    It seems like a lot on paper but in actuality its just a few extra minutes in your checking the train.  It will also depend on the equipment you get.  Where is your practical gonna be? Mine was in Jamaica Yard

  3. Hi guys.  Went in today for medical processing and was sworn in, thank God!  I was nerve wrecking because my information didn't transfer from the front desk to medical so I sat waiting until everyone else was called (I was originally #112) and when I finally asked why I hadn't been called they told me I had to get a new number.  I then got #200 so I was practically last but it was all worth it!  Is anyone else here starting 2/24?  My list # 191x.  Thanks for all the information provided here, it helped me prepare tremendously and kept me from panicking.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    How much time did you have in between the time you got called for the medical and the actual appointment.  I'm in California at the moment so this is important to me.

  4. Hey Guys just a quick question Ima shy guy bout urintaing in front of people..so do they literally watch you pee or do you at least get to turn around..especially if they  make you strip as someone on here said earlier! also when you get to the medical part do you have to tell them evry medication you may be on? Keeping my fingers crossed and appreciate the advice..see ya down below!!

     

    Its the MTA.  Not prison.  I hope not... =/

  5. The list is moving soooooooooooooo slow. It's driving me nuts!!! List #2100's. On the way home last night on the G line heading to queens I saw what seemed to me like a school car class. People with uniforms standing in the first car about 6 of them and about 4 people in the front cab where the operator sits. Man they looked so happy. Come on DCAS get that list moving. It's been on 1414 going on 2 months now.

     

    Yeah i'd say no calls from MTA for the 2000s anytime this year.

  6. When I get called for train op, if the only choice is A division i don't want it, I'll wait until they need B division people.

    To each his own.  I have this nasty habit of suffering through what's placed in front of me.  I wouldn't be able to make the choice between A & B on my own personally.  Both seem to have their perks and shortcomings of which I'm interested in testing myself against.

  7. I think I'm actually stunned to see this ball moving. I guess it still feels like I'm dreaming. But congrats to those on their way in. With any luck I'll see ya there when its my turn. I personally never have an issue releasing my medical records. I never seem to have anything other than cold/flu & I'm due for a check up soon anyway. Never had a surgery and other than some psychological counseling as a teen I'm pretty solid healthy.
