Yeah that's the dude that put me on medical hold for the C/R job in the first place. I got it cleared but ultimately decided to stay until my number is called for the T/O position instead.

SubwayGuy Posted August 19, 2011 Share #610 Posted August 19, 2011 Wow, 362 is the list number on a gentleman above. I find the list is moving incredibly quick considering the time in which the first person was called. Its bound to slow down but man oh man Transit sure wants their conductors in line. There is a conductor shortage. Also a lot of people on vacation at the moment too, and people retiring soon. It's all hands on deck right now. Plus with them calling promotional Train Operators they're losing conductors as fast as they're hiring them. The pace will pick up when more schoolcar instructors (there's a shortage of them too) return from vacations. Which it sounds like they are.

I thought garanteed weekends off was a given, I guess not. Just finished a bit of reading about a real bleak U.S economical forcast as we speak. Its not looking even slightly good and its bound to have an effect on all agencies that cant turn a profit. Hell even if they make a profit nothing's stable, just take a look at what Verizon is doing after reporting billions upon billions in profit. I wish you guys good luck, behave and save some money and buy some gold to protect against inevitable hyperinflation, you never know when there is going to be a mass layoff too.

RTOMan Posted August 19, 2011 Share #616 Posted August 19, 2011 One thing now, just because they CALL you dont mean you will get hired now or put in a class. You are "hired" once you are sworn in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xentor Posted August 19, 2011 Share #617 Posted August 19, 2011 This might sound a bit ignorant, but since some people claim there's a conductor shortage, what exactly does this translate into? Alot of overtime for current conductors? Transit delays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YDove C. Posted August 20, 2011 Share #620 Posted August 20, 2011 I took the O/C Train Conductor exam #8094 back in Dec '08. I scored pretty well - 98.9% with a list # of 623. I read through a few threads to gain as much information as possible to know exactly where MTA was @ with the list. Is MTA finally in the O/C list? I still need to put in a change of address, since I've moved recently. Would it be possible of having the notice/letter from 180 Livingston forwarded to you new address? Can anyone please post some info on what MTA been up to recently in reference to O/C Conductors List? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are definitely on the list now last I heard (on here) they were in the 200-300 range. However I am fairly sure that they are just above your number as far as the ones that were submitted (to/from?) DCAS which means that most likely you are going to be in one of the next few batches called depending on their needs. Either way I would call DCAS and make sure they were aware of your change of address ASAP so you wouldn't need to worry about having the letter forwarded.

MTA only sends out letters initially. You have 4 years to respond to the job offer, but you don't want to lose seniority to people who scored lower than you because you didn't have a updated address. And in the world of RTO seniority is king. As a new C/R you will be extra extra for sometime to come, it'll be a while before you can pick a job.

ensoled Posted August 21, 2011 Share #623 Posted August 21, 2011 I got a call on friday to report back to 180 on 8/25 for medical and final processing, she also old me to pack a light lunch so I assume that I will be there all day.Does anyone know what I will be doing that day or anything I should be prepared for (other then sitting in those uncomfortable seats for 8+hours lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted August 21, 2011 Share #624 Posted August 21, 2011 Does anyone know what I will be doing that day or anything I should be prepared for (other then sitting in those uncomfortable seats for 8+hours lol) Blood pressure, EKG, vision test, hearing test, key muscle group strength tests, height, weight, medical interview, expect to have to resolve any issues in your past by getting a note from your doctor that it's fine (meaning have you doctor's contact info on you when you go so that if he needs to fax a "it's OK" note over on your behalf you can reach him). Know what medications you take and indicate them. Tell the truth but don't exaggerate symptoms. "Do you get headaches" is different from saying "after you stare at a computer screen looking at NYCTransitForums for 12 hours a day, do you have a headache?" Unless a condition is chronic or you had a serious incident in the past with it, the answer is NO. Make it through that and you do final processing. File review (yes all that paperwork - FILL OUT THE 21 PAGE DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU GO THERE AND KEEP COPIES), fingerprinting, offer of a salary and start date, official swearing in if you accept the job, photo for a TA pass, then you'll get a rule book and reporting instructions for your start date. And yes it takes all day so bring not just lunch but a good book (or two) or some magazines, don't rely on your phone games since no phone use up there...unless you really like watching new york 1...
