  1. And for the record I had a roughly similar score and was 3100s and was called September 2021 (delayed of course by the pandemic)
  2. We have an entire section three pegs down for employment.
  3. East New York can’t even store the cars it already has. There’s at least 5-6 J’s parked in various corners every night. again, the relocation of those cars is predicated on the expansion of 207’s inspection barn to hold full length trains, not the arrival of new equipment.
  4. Here is how I see it: The B is the independent line, not part of another line like the W and Z, with the shortest service time. Out of a 168 week, it only runs about 85 hours. Roughly 17 hours a day,Monday through Friday. yes there is our behind the scenes stuff, but I’m just talking about passenger service. I don’t think putting brand new trains on a line where they will be idle for half the time makes much sense. Sure, the C goes to bed at night, but it works weekends… The B doesn’t.
  5. New hires don’t get double. Like I said, my first day was Memorial Day, I only got time and a half.
  6. The way transit is, the B gets suspended the moment something goes wrong. The reroute they’re more worried with the D about is Culver, not 8th Avenue.
  7. For a lot of people, it's often also what comes with the new equipment. In the case of the R211s, that would be CBTC on 8th Avenue, which means retirement of much of the legacy signal hardware that is often the root cause of problems.
  8. If they go by the same schedule, you will still have Saturday and Sunday off. I don’t know what they’ll do with Memorial Day for you… because that was my first day. But they did give us July 4th off (and had us work Saturday) so who knows… After the first week, one day a week will be “Road Operations”, where you take a train and practice making station stops. As a side note, during road ops, if your train gets stuck and your 8 hour day ends, your TSS instructors will dump you all off at the next opportunity because you are not entitled to overtime during class instruction. you must pass the following tests. 1: climb an R68 from ground level twice* 2: elevated structure walk 3: tunnel walk 4: a written midterm exam* 5: a practical test in the yard* 6: a written final exam* 7: a road practical test. Tests makes with *, you have two chances 1: climb a smaller A division train. If you had been made B division, you will be switched out to A. 4/6 take the test over, but while the first chance was multiple choice, the re-do fully write out each answer. 5: take the test over with a higher ranking supervisor watching you. and just don’t do anything notable… like the guy who broke his finger pushing a button… (And no that wasn’t me…)
  9. There does seem to be a glitch, at least for the 8 car units on the Mikey, every time my parter for the day accepts ATO the computer keeps reporting “BIE Alerter” on my screen while under ATO control, despite never dumping the train and my partners all using the alerter correctly.
  10. All civil service exams are multiple choice. It’s those Scantron “fill in the bubble” things.
  11. Click on the “180 Livingston has moved” banner at the top of the page, everything that you need is in there.
  12. That’s the email for getting your list number reinstated. Youngking would need to get in contact with the pre-employment staff directly at Perepont street.
  13. Because it’s still together… ever think not everything has a complex answer?
