Ladyrockstar Posted December 21, 2016 Share #6176 Posted December 21, 2016 Damn, that sucks! I thought you were straight...but everything for a reason. You were just seeking time to clear up loose ends. Just use the time wisely. You are still in the race. I am 7 list numbers away according to my homegirl that just got called for the December 26th class. However, I spoke with Mrs. Vargas today and she stated that they are on hold with the calling because they are waiting for people to come off of medical hold. This is insane. I's so close....smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMercedes Posted December 21, 2016 Share #6177 Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Well the verdict is in and I'm out! At least, for now anyway, on a medical hold until I can see my Dr. Unfortunately for me that won't be until first week in Jan. The Good news is there's still a Jan.30 class on the table but, at this point i'm saying whatever. An unexplainable discrepancy in one of my exams so doc. needs more clearance. Never had as much as a broken nose but this is a federally regulated position so everything must fit perfectly. A Long day with a somewhat frustrating end. Truthfully, I wasn't too keen about starting on Monday anyway but, wasn't going to chance it. However, the decision was made for me so it's back to waiting. The MTA Dr. doesn't think it's a big deal but, the timing is bad depending on how I look at it. If I can continue I'll get back on but for now, I've lost too much sleep over this already so, in the meantime, I'm just going relax over the holidays and what will be will be. Good luck to those still in the game and maybe I'll see you in Jan. Peace! Well I'm exactly in the same boat.... I'm on medical Hold , need to see the doc in January....

Globetrotter Posted January 13, 2017 Share #6185 Posted January 13, 2017 I read in an article from about a decade ago that transit HIRES 300 train operators a year just to cover retirements. They'll CALL a lot more than that I would guess If this was correct, the employee turnover rate for T/O's would be 100% about every 13 years, and that's definitely not the case.

Once that happens 8098 will be history. They won't call any more names from 8098 anymore. In the conductors thread I saw someone say that the current test is going to expire on the 30th of this month (it's supposed to expire Feb 17th) and you're saying the Train operator exam will be finished in March though it's supposed to expire in late 2017. Is transit allowed to cut the lifespan of a list short like that even though they have datesome set in stone already? I hope it's true because I'm on 6601 with a decent score, but I've never heard of a list being cut short like that. Also, are you aware of any promotional employees receiving their official scores and list #'s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's true because I'm on 6601 with a decent score, but I've never heard of a list being cut short like that. Also, are you aware of any promotional employees receiving their official scores and list #'. 8098 was originally set to expire Sept 2016 but it was extended until Sept 2017. At this point they can do away with the exam at any time this year. It's being cut short due to the horrible passing rate in schoolcar (some are not even making it pass probation). They just don't realize how serious and demanding this job is.... They can't keep up with the amount of T/O's they need which is typical when you start getting towards the bottom of the list so they will start off fresh with the promotional's. My conductor did tell me he was expecting to get called anytime soon for the promotion to T/O. he was the one that mentioned to me they would start in March. The truth is whoever was hoping to get called this year may be just plain out of luck. Those who do get in from this exam after March will be those already in the middle of the hiring process. Once the first name is called off the promotional list 8098 will be history Edited January 14, 2017 by elantra06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true. Remember, many fail during schoolcar. And it's not just retirements, you have Train Operators that take resume positions off the road, go to TD, and go to TSS.

You would have to contact DCAS to restore your name back to the list. Honestly you don't have much time left. I'm hearing that the list will be done away with within 30-60 days due to the promotional list being activated possibly even within the next 2 weeks. I hope you applied for the next open competitive back in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTAhopefullMatt Posted January 18, 2017 Share #6194 Posted January 18, 2017 I believe the phone number is 1-212-669-1357. Call first and see what they say, but you may want to stop by there to submit your request in person. They're at One Centre Street, 21st floor. Municipal Bldg.

BroadwayBuffer Posted April 22, 2017 Share #6198 Posted April 22, 2017 For anyone who's been down to 180 Livingston recently. Do they hold pending traffic tickets against you for Train Operator? I know it's been mentioned in some bus operator threads, but not here. I was just called for T/O and I have a hearing in November for a failure to yield to a vehicle. I plead guilty, but am told the officer must still be present, hence the hearing date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tprashad0719 Posted April 22, 2017 Share #6199 Posted April 22, 2017 I had a speeding ticket pending and was called in for CR I had to pay the ticket in order for MTA to process me ,I would pay the ticket off and keep your confirmation that you paid, they don't want anything pending against you..

BroadwayBuffer Posted April 23, 2017 Share #6200 Posted April 23, 2017 Thanks. That's exactly how it happened. Good to know for anyone else who may be getting called soon. In my case, the TVB won't allow me the option to pay it. The judge said that the officer must be present to give an account of whether or not an accident took place (failure to yield), which it didn't. I may see if an attorney can help move it along sooner than the November hearing date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
