Den

Recommended Posts

Boo Yah, I checked end my voicemail messages this morning and I got my golden ticket....lol. Mrs. shivers left a voicemail for me to come in for medical and final processing on Thurs. April 10. Hopefully I'll make the April class with you Brownhornet and axelt...I hope everything goes smooth. I'm such a pessimist that I did not believe this day would ever come. I am so stoked. I will finally have a job that I will love.

How did it go?

How did it go?

Ladies and Gentelmen I am proud to announce that I am a NYC Transit employee. My dream of being a Train Operator is finally here.   Yeah thats right I am in the April 28, 2014 class.  What's up Brownhornet and Axelt.  I arrived at 180 Livingston at 0645 and was out by 2:00 pm. The longest wait time was for the doctor to review my ekg, hearing, sight. The eye test is no joke, I could barely make out some of them.  The hearing test the have some of barely audible tones.  I can officially say that the last hired as of today is at least 2225-2220 for all those waiting.  I am so freaking happy.  Thanks for asking Trainman.

DEPMAZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!  I've been paying close attention to your posts because our list # is very close together.  Im 2280-2300.  So that gives me hope for next month!  I can't believe how fast this list is moving this year.  if my math is correct it seems like they go through about 100 list numbers a month.  so I'm about 60 slots away!  Hopefully i get called next month.  Congrats again DEPMAZE!!!!  whats your list # again?  2225-?

Congrats, Mard!!! I think this list is moving 200-250 people a month. Most likely you will get called within the next few weeks. Please, post as soon as they call you so I can also have some hope....

Put it this way folks some TOs on PROBATION had to pick jobs... How's that for a eye opener? That hasn't happened in a long time down here last file number to pick a job was in the 3800s compared to the low 3400s I believe the pick before.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don't know that the file numbers are for those on probation, probably close to 4000.

 

 

That can't be true. My probation ended March 25th and I'm supposed to pick tomorrow morning. My file number is 3937

 

Did you end up picking up something?

 

I'm just saying, how can people on probation pick before me? Unless his probation was extended

 

My file number is in the high 3700s. Got off Probation in November. I got an RDO Relief job. 

 

To those who just got hired, congrats, and welcome aboard. I highly suggest reading through The Schoolcar Survival Guide (not to toot my own horn) as well as listen to the senior members here.

How long does it usually take once you get hired to actually pick a job? And if anyone has the time to share what life is like on the xxlist? I would appreciate that. ThanksSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And lord knows it's not easy for me to get up and go to my current job while thinking about MTA all day everyday. It's definitely been a lesson in patience for me. LolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well it depends on what's going on in front of you. What's going on right now is what I would call a once in a generation event. Hiring from a new list has been something that would "begin" on average once every 5 to 6 or 7 years for the positions of T/O and C/R. What makes this time so key is all of the simultaneous movement based on the last mass hiring. A lot of people in many titles are reaching the years of duty served as well as the age qualification for retirement. 25 years in duty, at least 55 years of age. 1988-89-90 was likely the key years. So retirements are happening no only for those who remained in road service as T/Os and C/Rs, but those who promoted up to TW/O, ATD, TD, TSS and even Supt are retiring and those who have already been around are moving up to replace them.

 

You new folks are coming in as this wind of change continues to grind out. So how long it takes you pick a job depends on when this all balances itself out. Folks are still retiring, the last TSS test still has an active list and T/Os are still being promoted to the position, The TD test was early last year and classes continue to come out regularly so more T/Os and ATDs are being promoted on that one. I think even the last ATD list is still active so an occasional class of C/Rs and TW/O are being promoted to that position. When it all finally settles down those who come in as XX will likely be XX for several years. My best guess would be 2 years and at that point the hiring from this T/O list will come to an end. Right now there is no end in sight.

RTOPRO thanks for the insight. That was very informative. Glad to see that folks are getting the opportunity to retire after working hard for so many years. They definitely deserve it.

Thank you medic, trust me.... I already started reading the thread you made about surviving school car. As SOON as I got sworn in, I started looking through it!! Thank you again. See you on the battle field!!

Yes Mard.... RTOPRO's response sheds a lot of light on what's going on with us. This is a blessing for people like us Mard. And this has also taught me patience as well. Good luck Mard! You're next up to bat! Thank you also RTOPRO for that priceless info.
