Gherigfan1 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #176 Posted September 17, 2012 I just called DCAS and the recording now says. This list is terminated and can no longer be used to fill positions. I really hope this is a computer glitch. It hasn't even been 4 years since we took the exam. Anyone else confirm this recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin08 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #177 Posted September 17, 2012 Yes that has to be a glitch I would think..I'm not sure what it means though hopefully sum1 can shed sum light on it. Once the list is established its good for 4 yrs so Sept 13 2016 it's good for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gherigfan1 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #178 Posted September 17, 2012 So you heard the recording as well Justin08? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin08 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #179 Posted September 17, 2012 Yes...I just called dcas the lady said they don't handle the MTA exams anymore so I had to call another number. I'm goin to look into and let every1 know. But I don't think the list is terminated and we r not goin to get a call that just don't make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elantra06 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #180 Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) I just called DCAS and the recording now says. This list is terminated and can no longer be used to fill positions. I really hope this is a computer glitch. It hasn't even been 4 years since we took the exam. Anyone else confirm this recording. I too called this morning and heard the same thing "8098 list has been terminated and can no longer be used to fill positions". I spoke to a lady and she told me to call 511 since DCAS no longer administers exams for the MTA. I told her that exam was administered by DCAS back in 2009. She said they no longer have information on it that I would have to call that number and select MTA on the menu. During my lunch break I'll give that number a call and see what is going on. This can't be right??? They havn't even started calling from 8098 and it's terminated?? My notice of results cardthat I received my list number on is dated June 23, 2010. That is when the list was established. It's only been little over 2yrs. Edited September 17, 2012 by elantra06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin08 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #181 Posted September 17, 2012 Yes elantra same here have to call 511 after 1 o'clock..but yes I agree this list can't be expired and terminated that makes no sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elantra06 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #182 Posted September 17, 2012 Wow, I called up as well and realised it says it indeed has been established on 9/13/2012. I really thought this would have been established in the spring time from info that I was given, but better late than never right? Hopefully the first few hundred of us should be getting a nice surprise of a letter in the mail within the next few months.. This post was what made me call DCAS this morning and suspect a computer glitch in the automated line. The list was established June 23, 2010 not on September 13, 2012. I still have my notice of results with my list number and the one I received last November saying I qualified based on my work experience/education.

The list was published in 2010 (when we got our score and list #), but it wasn't established until a few days ago.

Justin08 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #184 Posted September 17, 2012 Subwayrat that's what I thought..the list has to be established in order take to ppl off of it..hence it should expire Sept 13 2016..either way I'm pretty sure the list isn't terminated and things seem to be rolling finally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a list is established thats when they are supposedly ready to start calling from it Ok that makes a little sense. I didn't know that. Maybe that's why DCAS no longer has the info for the exam. The list of names were handed over to the MTA and since DCAS no longer handles MTA exams they purge their system. That's may be why the lady told me to contact the MTA for info regarding 8098 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin08 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #186 Posted September 17, 2012 Just talked to someone at NY 511 and the list is NOT terminated she said they will be calling off the exam shortly that's all she said..so ppl on the list are good just a fyi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success7 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #187 Posted September 17, 2012 I spoke to someone from DCAS this morning. I was told that the established date of 9/13 was a mistake so they have it terminating on 9/16 and will re-establish the test on 9/19 definitely. When you call next Sunday the the 23rd, it should say that the list was established on 9/19 and will expire in 4 years from that date. It was basically a computer glitch and MTA didn't want to establish the list until 9/19 so they had to take it down. This is what was told to me from certifications division of Dcas. Don't worry, once it is fully establishe on 9/19, the ball will start rolling. Til then I'm gonna go ahead with this NYC corrections officer process as back up. I have a great list number on 8098 but you must always have a plan B. Just call Dcas again on Sunday 9/23 and check to see if it was updated.

mediccjh Posted September 17, 2012 Share #188 Posted September 17, 2012 Justin, who did you talk to at NY511? Can anyone on the inside (Pelham Bay Dave, or Alex L) confirm what is being posted? Let's make sure all information is FACTUAL before it gets posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gherigfan1 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #189 Posted September 17, 2012 I have a family friend that is a train operator and he told me today, they have already called off the OC list. He let me know around 16 people that he knows went back to being conductors and they are notifying TO's over the radio that they have, he used some abbreviation but I think he means overtime, available everyday. He said they need TO's. When I called a 347 number today, the lady that answered told me they haven't called off the list yet and she didn't know if the recording was correct or not. My friend was very sure they have called a class from the OC list already. He will let me know more when he goes back to work after his 2 days off.

Gherigfan1 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #191 Posted September 17, 2012 mediccjh, I posted when I called this morning. I was fuming and had to find out if anyone else heard the same thing. We need factual posting, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin08 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #192 Posted September 17, 2012 I just spoke to a lady with the employment line..she knew exactly wat I was talkn abt so I would say she was credible..I just can't see how this list would b terminated..every1 who works inside or ppl who know ppl inside say they need TOs so where we're they gona get them from just didn't make sense...when will they actually start hiring off the OC list is another story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediccjh Posted September 17, 2012 Share #193 Posted September 17, 2012 It wouldn't make sense for them to say the list is expired; obviously it's a glitch. Since I live outside of NYC, what is NY 511? I don't think anyone has been called off the OC List yet; nothing has been posted in The Chief.

Snowblock Posted September 17, 2012 Share #194 Posted September 17, 2012 Wow, you all need to chill out. Back in 2011, the MTA terminated their arrangement with DCAS to handle hiring. The DCAS would handle any open lists, but from then on the MTA would handle all hiring themselves. Obviously what is happening is the DCAS is handing over 8098 to the MTA, and the MTA will begin calling you themselves off of this list. No way are they just gonna throw out an exam that something like 100,000 people paid $80 to take! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexAveExp5 Posted September 17, 2012 Share #196 Posted September 17, 2012 And even if the tried to pull a fast one, civil service law says the list must be used for at least a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share #197 Posted September 17, 2012 I dont know why everyone is panicking. We have already established the fact that not only has the list been established but it is going to be used to get new employees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
