youngblaze Posted August 28, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 28, 2011 Wow #820....1185 is closer than EVER!!! If I am not mistaken as long as you disclose everything now you should be fine...it's best to let them know now before they find out on their own.

Yeah blaze, last week those who were in the 700's had to report, so figure this week it will be the 800's, not sure how many per day have to go down to 180 Livingston St, but the list is moving again. Good luck to those starting the 8/29 class at Zerega, especially FDBGuy who had to take the drug exam 3-4 times over the course of 5 months. Your time has finally arrived. prgordo: welcome to the forums, hopefully a B/O on here will be able to answer your questions. Please keep us informed on your situation.

BklynBound Posted August 29, 2011 Share #6 Posted August 29, 2011 Got the letter to report to on wednesday on the 31 The list is moving fast guys ....my # is in the 900's Wish me Good luck taking it day by day.:tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDBGuy Posted August 29, 2011 Share #7 Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah blaze, last week those who were in the 700's had to report, sofigure this week it will be the 800's, not sure how many per day have to go down to 180 Livingston St, but the list is moving again. Good luck to those starting the 8/29 class at Zerega, especially FDBGuy who had to take the drug exam 3-4 times over the course of 5 months. Your time has finally arrived. prgordo: welcome to the forums, hopefully a B/O on here will be able to answer your questions. Please keep us informed on your situation. Thanks Loco, not much you can do other than play their game. I wasn't sure what was going to happen with making it to Zerega early this morning but knowing the MTA was putting service back on I had to go. The drive there was great, gave it alot of extra time and actually was having breakfast there at 5:45. FDR Drive was especially smooth. As others have posted Ms. B is great and had us laughing. She is really good with people and patient with people not paying attention. She even remarked "you guys better pay attention when you're driving a 40,000 lb bus". I'll be going to Queens Village tom'w 9am for qualifying training and the transfer is in for Staten Island. I did notice some list #'s, the highest I saw there was 638. Hopefully that transfer comes in for line training, Ms. B said it's possible to get a call in a week if there are openings. For anyone going to class anytime soon, if you take mass transit and are late, you need to get the # of the train or bus that you take there. MTA will verify your story. There were also 2 that came in about 7:30, that's when she told us that tip. MTA newbies were there in this class also, I think the class total was about 50.

I didn't know you could put in for a transfer on your 1st day at Zerega. I think your list number is one of the lowest in your class. Queens Village depot is right off the Cross Island, not a bad commute at all for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acela Express Posted August 30, 2011 Share #10 Posted August 30, 2011 I didn't know you could put in for a transfer on your 1st day at Zerega. Yeah, there's a transfer paper issued on orientation day whether you're open to Queens or Staten Island depots at some point, then you can transfer without any penalty; also the paper allows you to decline any type of transfer to their division UNLESS you're forced, but you can always come back during the system pick. Now, years down the line you decide to transfer into the ATU world, then you'll loose seniority or something on the lines of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xentor Posted August 31, 2011 Share #15 Posted August 31, 2011 Wow this is more like it. They are moving you guys right along. Transit sure wants their bus drivers. Everyone better stay tuned, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted August 31, 2011 Share #16 Posted August 31, 2011 The last list number certified for the 8006 list is #1537. I said it before and I will say it again, that they will go through the entire list(#3,758) before the list expires on 8/2013. I wasn't trying to give anybody false hope, MassProduction and even you Igor will get your chance. The 5025 list was 1,000+ more then the 8006 and they went through the entire list despite a few hiring freezes along the way. The B/O lists move a lot faster then other lists in transit.

It could more than just a clean CDL license. Heard this from a NYCT B/O that they can not accepted you if you fail a drug test, not passing a physical, past criminal history, and a dishonorable discharge from the armed forces. My brother told me about 13 years ago someone that he knew took the physical for B/O, but did not pass an eye exam because of his left eye vision wasn't corrected like his right.
