i failed test 8080. I am taking another test in 2 weeks. So does that mean you are the last guy from that list to be hired? Any idea where you are going yet?

I got called off the list 8080. There are 18 more guys who are starting wit me. Out of 18, ,one is permanent & rest r provisional. I have heard there is another class coming after mine.

You got called for CI? Congratulations. Did you get called off the last list? How may guys are starting with you? I got called also but didnt make it to the medical. I guess they had as many as they needed

Yes, i heard they are trying to get rid of the elevator mechanics also. I will take the bus maintainer exam again next time it comes out just to stay on the list in case something happens. I have a freind who is a bus maintainer in Mabstoa . Ultimately like you i would like to be a car inspector. I was a car maintainer f in the early 90s and was dumb enough to leave the job, They have since done away with that title also and all those guys became car inspectors although they can only work in the truck shop.

How the job is depends on the depot and the division that u are in. I just made a year and i have weekends and holidays off, but im a special case. When I got hear, a whole bunch of guys retired and I moved up automatically. This is only because this depot exist in the void between Brooklyn Division and Manhattan Division. Good thing about that is you can't get bumped out of this depot. Bad thing is if you leave, your seniority is gone... If you like your job and your schedule, don't leave. Do your time there and retire...even though I heard that they are trying to phase out that elevator mechanic job.

Ps. Im actually gonna take that Car Inspector exam. They get paid a little more, but i hear the overtime isn't as plentiful...

How is the bus maintainer job? I am 103 on the list and got called down twice but figured staying where i am might be better. I am in elevator escalator and work sunday mondays off working 6 to 2, I would love to get back to the coney island yard as a car inspector as i live close to there. I heard that workingas a bus maintainer you dont see weekends off for years.

you once asked some questions about exam 8068 for TEMM, did you ever get called for the job? they called almost the whole list, I am currently in the E/E department hired off the same list
