  1. It was speculated that there's going to be another 4 to 5 classes for sure. They're about to put in a new foreman class at the end of February so they'll open up even more jobs. Anyone know how big the January 8 class is? I saw a bunch of them at Coney Island Yard doing OJT.
  2. So did a new class start this past Monday? Or were people just called for processing, I'm a bit confused.
  3. Supposedly hiring will commence once again shortly after the MSI and Track Workers change over sometime this month. There are people that are still retiring, going to Third Rail.
  4. Where did you hear this from? and is it 30 a piece like usual or nah.
  5. Just wondering, scrolled through the whole post and couldn't figure it out. What's the highest number called for PE at this time.
  6. Nope, not even close. This list has a minimum of 2 more years. From the date you file for the exam to the date you actually take the test is probably going to be about three to four months, after the final protest session it's going to be a minimum of 1 year before they'll release the list.
  7. Assignments are given at the discretion of supervision, usually based on seniority. If you have your class A from NY/NJ/CT/PA you'll be fine. If you have your permit from anything other then NY then you won't be able to come because when they send you to their school for training you need a NY license.
  8. I'm in fleet, if you have any other questions I can try an answer them. Class A permit with Hazmat/Tank/Tow They'll take you with just a Class A Permit and a B license and give you some time to get the endorsements. Types of trucks we drive are Roll Off Containers (Class B), Car Carriers (Class B), Fuel Truck (Class B) Tractor Trailer (Class A), Dump Trailer (Class A), Low Boy (Class A), Landoll (Class A), Heavy Wrecker (Class A)
  9. Background check started once you got called for processing, and it ends when you retire.
  10. Hopefully, I heard they've been sending a lot of people into cleaning. Highest seniority number in Capital Days is 2390ish.
  11. Look at most of the structures, my recommendation is to go days, you'll get used to the structure.
  12. Nah. Stay as a Train Operator, you'd be taking a massive pay cut.
  13. At this rate they may stay in those spots until the next pick. They were supposed to have a X job pick months ago but, nothing happened.
  14. Unfortunately no, drug test takes 72 hours to get the results anyway.
  15. If you're looking at the Linden Shop spots it's part of fleet operations. You need at a minimum to get in a Class B license with a Class A permit with the following endorsements, A. Hazmat/Tank B. Tow Truck If you're looking at Capital/Maintenance you just need a B permit to get in and all they do is drive the tool trucks to the job sites.
  16. The M.S Exam for Track was also set up in this new format. 101 questions with a G2 being the essay, wouldn't surprise me if that's the new criteria going forward on all supervisor exams.
  17. It'll 100% get an extension, they haven't even announced a new exam.
  18. I don't think anyone even earned this job. You pass a common sense test, get a score, and if you scored the same along with thousands of others your list number is determined either by filing date or social security number, doesn't sound like you earned anything. Must've failed my OPA, explains why I'm in track.
  19. What are you on about, Anyone who passed the test is eligible to be hired for this job. I scored a 95 on this test and I ended up with a list number close to the 5000s, are you saying I didn't deserve the opportunity to get appointed?
  20. Have they given you your seniority numbers? If you don't mind me asking what range are you in, if you want to PM it to me that's fine.
  21. You need your superintendent to approve it and send all necessary documents to system safety.
  22. Depends if you like overtime. Capital Nights is the main money maker in track, followed by Capital Days. Personally, I never worked nights and will do my damn best to avoid it at all costs, it's a unhealthy environment and long term will kill you.
  23. Just saw a class in OJT at 38th Yard today, highest seniority number seems to be in the 228x. If anyone is wondering. Looks like we're gonna be breaking 2300 track workers come next class.
