  1. finally operated the dreaded R68 on our road trip yesterday. TSS had me flying into a downgrade station at 35mph and hit a hard break 1/4 the way in. but i made the stop! you just gotta get it under control so you can release the brake to the 10 car marker
  2. its impossible to know how much seniority you gave up. you might have been the highest rank in the april class so you gave up 40 spots. you might have had the lowest rank in the april class so you gave up 0 spots
  3. the union can help with certain things in your first year, but you arent given the right to an arbitration hearing if it came down to it
  4. They don't give you any notice because its a drug test and they don't wanna give you time to clean out your system
  5. NYCERS is every paycheck. so in the next one they'll take out twice as much. i know the fingerprint fee is just once
  6. got my first paycheck today. i notice 2 deductions missing. NYCERS and the fingerprint fee. does this mean they'll hit me twice next time for NYCERS and the fingerprint at a later time?
  7. hey, quick question. i tried to use my pass on the Q8 today because we had to go to Pitkin yard. both times i got on the Q8 my pass was "invalid" and the 2nd time the bus driver said it won't work on the old Green Bus Lines. but when they gave us our pass they said it will work on all local buses. what gives????? edit: the bus drivers had no problem letting me on but i just wanna know because i don't like using my pass where i'm not supposed to (LIRR, etc.)
  8. 9 maybe you mis-heard her because our Tss said 60 per month through November!
  9. i actually had crew room access before this websit got hacked
  10. no, just buttoned down shirt and no jeans or sneakers
  11. looking at the schedule, it's not that we have 3 months in the yard after 6 months of training, the 3 months in the yard are smack in the middle of training (July 1st-Sept 20th), then we go back to schoolcar. so i guess i wont be going to the mega-concert of Matchbox Twenty and Goo Goo Dolls on Aug. 17th after all . i will be in the yards with rotating shifts and days off. i thought i'd at least be OK for the summer
  12. when i grow up i wanna be like TSS Shah
  13. No, i mean if you deadhead as a passenger on the clock and in uniform
  14. Hey, is it true that if you deadhead from one terminal to another you have to stand up the whole way??? I heard that today
  15. Its official, we get 3 months in the yard after schoolcar
  16. Yeah, it's only my 3rd day. I'll learn the lingo!
  17. 30 of us are going to the B division, 9 to the A!
  18. Ive seen T/Os stand up and look at the passengers through the window. They aren't holding down the deadmans feature
  19. Yeah, it's for a drug test so they dont wanna give you time to clean out your system if you've been puffing the magic dragon
  20. they don't give you a practical on ALL types of cars to make sure you can operate each one?
  21. I'm in march 25th! List# in the 250's (because I was on medical hold). See ya there!
  22. That would be VERY interesting. How many road extras do they need in each division? Because I'm wondering, if they need for example 100 road extras. After 5 months you'd be able to pick, right? Because you'd have the seniority over 5 classes of 20 (100 people)
  23. No, i didnt tell them what the hold up was. They told me come back as soon as possible so thats what i did. Its not the MTA that took me off the list, its DCAS. I had to go back to 1 Centre St to have my name re-enstated
