traintrain Posted October 8, 2012 Share #401 Posted October 8, 2012 From what it seems from this forum, they have invited about between list #'s 1- 200 to go down to 180 Livingston for pre employment. Not 100% on that, just from what I can tell from a couple of forums. i have also read somewhere in this thread ( or some other ) someone mentioned # 799...so now a bit confused.... Although...it is entirely possible they will go through as much as 7-800 ppl to find the 120 needed for next 3 classes...maybe even more considering how many people i see plan to "refuse" employment at this time....and i am talking about ppl with lower #'s I wonder what will be the going after these 3 classes this year...will they have more in the beginning of next year or the rest of us will have to sit and wait "patiently again " for another year or more??? just sayin' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have only called up two about the mid 300's on the train operator open competitive list... MTA is currently hiring from a couple lists right now for different jobs. After these 3 planned classes for T/O it will depend on how many more (retirements, resignations or terminations) are needed. Remember not all 120 hired by December will complete school car. If 20 people don't make it pass school car they will have to hire 20 more by spring in addition to other planned classes to make up for that loss.

RTOMan Posted October 9, 2012 Share #405 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Remember not all 120 hired by December will complete school car. You got that right... They wont be playing with the Open competitive Folks... They are harder on promos as well just because "You know trains" means nada down here.. *Wonders what took them so long should have been this way 11 years ago* Edited October 9, 2012 by RTOMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTOMan Posted October 9, 2012 Share #407 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) I dont think speeding tickets have any issues regarding T/O... When you get that Booklet you give them EVERYTHING they ask for... Thats the best advice i can give! Edited October 9, 2012 by RTOMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like said have no idea the dates of the tickets its been a longggg time The driver abstract the NY DMV will give you only goes back about 3yrs for traffic violations I believe. If you said it's been 12yrs since your last ticket then your abstract will print out with no traffic violations or points listed. Suspensions/revocation/DUI's will show on it if within the past 10yrs. I went to get mine printed last week to help fill out the 21 page booklet and not one ticket showed up on my abstract. It has been over 5yrs since my last moving violation. Only thing that showed up was when I switched over my North Carolina driver license to a NY driver license... Could have kept that $5 in my pocket You will just have to do your best to remember all the dates/tickets you recieved as the MTA will be able to obtain them all.

Sorry for bombing u with questions..I might just go get a driving history Just write down your license and state where issued in booklet where it tells you too. Like Dan05979 said a driver license isn't really needed for this postion. They just want you to list it if you have one. From what the lady told me when handing in pre employment booklet last week she said they are more just concerned abut DUI's if anything. I had listed my violations but she made me remove that page and put N/A on the blank one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gherigfan1 Posted October 9, 2012 Share #420 Posted October 9, 2012 Could u be disqualified from this job title if someone has a dui and a license isn't required for the position I asked this question on another board and they reply was no. Either way, be honest and if the deny you, they deny you. Worrying about things will not make situations go away. Everyone in the world has had a past. Good, bad or indifferent. I have heard from an employee that they have hired people with criminal records. I'm sure if something happen 2 months ago will totally out weigh something 6 years ago. People and lives change with age and such. Just be honest as it has been posted numerous times. And then let the cards fall where they may.

Your operating a motor vehicle under the influence. Won't look to good with the MTA trusting that person to operate thier trains. Also DUI falls under the criminal courts jurisdiction.

Just because you went to criminal court doesn't mean you were convicted of a felony. That statement is irrelevant. I have personal knowledge of someone becoming a T/O with a felony that spent time in prison. Unless he lied to everyone for 5 years and now lies to his wife about where he is going everyday for the past 6 or 7 years now. And yes he was an Open Competitive as well. Things and people can change. Because it is a criminal court means squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gherigfan1 Posted October 9, 2012 Share #424 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Read carefully that's why I said convictions.... Take it easy man.... No issue here. Some folks are worrying about things they can't control and if we don't have exact knowledge or facts we should just tell them not to worry. Wrong info is worse then no info. In all honesty we don't know who they will disqualify or for what reason. Well, one thing is for sure. If you fail the drug test you are gone. My Uncle, who just retired from the MTA and worked in the union office for many years told me don't even have a drink the night before the medical.

trainman Posted October 9, 2012 Share #425 Posted October 9, 2012 Can someone please answer this question for me. My list number is in the mid 3,000's on exam # 8098 open-competitive. Do you think they will reach my list number before September 19, 2016, when the list is set to terminate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
