I went from B/O to Track. It was pretty smooth for the most part. I overheard a class may have just went in yesterday so maybe it'll be about 3 weeks until the next one goes in.

They're still hiring for now, that's all we know lol.

It's been posted before what you can expect in terms of jobs, days off, hours, and etc. Your either going to be 8am to 4pm 10pm to 6am Or 11pm to 7am

One more class scheduled and then they're taking a break until after the summer at the least.

Depends, if they fill the class before they reach your list number you may have to wait till the next scheduled class.

Rumor on the street is one more class in June then a freeze until Ocotoberish.

Yes, wait for the medical email now.

Just wear regular clothes, boots are a must.

Most likely your time at ps248 will be 3pm to 11pm and your OJT will be 8am to 4pm with weekends off.

Yes, Capital Nights and Days is where the vast majority of OT is for track.

Right now I'm in Capital Days.

Depending on how far the job site is from the quarters determines the amount of travel time they'll pay you. The max for the day you can get is 2 hours, 1 hour each way basically. Yeah parking is on you.

If you go to a maintenance gang you report to the same quarters every day/night. If you go to a capital days gang you direct report to the job site every day unless of bad weather, then you go to the quaters. If you go capital nights, you report to the quarters on weekdays, and weekends you report directly to the job site.

lol no, you can't operate/work in the subway without properly authorized shoes/boots.

Ship the boots back and order a new pair.

That was the class that came right after yours right? I think one just started also this past Monday, with another one planned for May 30th.

As long as you pass medical, pretty much.

That means if you pass the medical and final processing you'll be sworn into the May 30th class.

You don't need a license for this title but, if you want to move to certain specialist titles they require CDL's. (ie. Crane Operator, Specialist Operator, Clipper, Chauffer)

During on the job training they'll provide your class a job list that you'll be able to choose from in seniority order. If you go nights the shifts are either 10p-6a or 11p-7a If you go days it's going to be 8a-4p You're pass/employee ID will grant you access to ride the subway/bus/express bus/LIRR/MNRR

Capital does the major track construction work, basically replacing everything. Difference between Days and Nights is would you rather work above ground or below ground. The most money is probably in Capital Nights followed by Capital Days. Maintenance has overtime but, it's a hit and miss and it depends on what section you're in. One of the pro's for maintenance in my opinion is you report to the same quarters everyday and you probably will have a locker. Capital is mostly direct reports to stations instead of your quarters.

Pay's decent, if you go Capital Day/Night out of school you can make really good money. They're doing about a class a month right now with consistent hiring. You'll get in don't worry, almost there.

There's a very high chance you'll get contacted this year.

Job isn't hard, Also depends on where you go and who you work with it, but you get a decent amount of down time.

I'm not sure how long ago they told you that, for pre-employment they seem to be in the 21/2200's right now, maybe for final/medical they're only in the 1900's.
