Allday Posted April 29, 2014 Share #3353 Posted April 29, 2014 @brownHornet..... How are the div's picked? Randomly or list #? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownhornet78 Posted April 29, 2014 Share #3354 Posted April 29, 2014 If I get the option to pick I'm picking A div. that's my home turf. Do U get a choice Bh ? How does that work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk @Mard @Allday Yea guys you CAN pick. In our class Me @Depmaze @Lauren got what was left over. Hence the A division. @923 @Axelt got to choose. They were higher in seniority (list number). So if you guys are high in numbers then you get the pick of the litter. But hey.... I wanted the B, but you ALWAYS get what you want. I'm just gonna run through the A til I can pick in the B. Thank God my dream came true!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted April 29, 2014 Share #3366 Posted April 29, 2014 Is it true that upon acceptance of the position I HAVE to move to NY? I'm currently in NJ. No, you do not have to move. However, living in NJ is no excuse to be late for work, regardless of what hours of work and work location you are given. So "my NJ Transit Train isn't running" won't get you out of working nights, if that is what you have to work. That said, many employees have come from NJ, PA, CT, way upstate, etc. and made long successful careers here while continuing to live in those locations.

Allday Posted April 30, 2014 Share #3372 Posted April 30, 2014 It seems that people pick B div mostly because of convince but according to people in earlier posts, A div trains are easier to learn. Is that a fair statement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know you were one of us that got thrown in the A. That's why you had that look on your face when I was standing up waiting to get fitted. Oh yeah people.... The uniform company came to measure us today as well. I forgot to mention that because the division picks took precedent over the uniform fitting process. No boots yet though.

Etrain Posted April 30, 2014 Share #3375 Posted April 30, 2014 Well not to bust anybody's bubble but not getting what you want when you first start is the norm down here, School car is easy because you know ahead of time where you have to report, wait until to you finish training and come out to the road and become extra extra and they have you going all over the place from day to day with different reporting times and also your tour of duty and days off are subject to change on a weekly basis. Enjoy school car while you can and also get to know your classmates as they will be your support through out those early years believe me you will need all the support you can get.
