Well, it all depends. My list number is 171, and they called me in for the orientation and paperwork since February 7th. So now, there in the process of doing a background check on those who came on the 7th and the 8th. We're talking about more than 100 people. If all of them happen to clear the background check, they will now enter training class on March 11th. So, by the time they do all that, they will begin to call in another group of 100 or more people to go through the same process.
So, by your list number, I could be wrong, but it might take less or more than a year, between september to maybe january. But, again, I could be wrong about the length of months. Keep checking the status of list numbers by either calling MTA, or reading this particular forum. I know for a fact that before I was called in, there was another person that I was talking to in this thread, and he was called in by october of last year. His list # was 23, while mine was 171. So, it comes to show that this will take some time and patience. The MTA moves at their own pace. In the meantime, I got to see if I will be called in to take this training class before March 11. Good luck to you.
