ErikNYC Posted May 1, 2015 Share #4701 Posted May 1, 2015 Sorry Dude but you are toast . Your number is too high to receive a call up . I suggest taking other exams . Glad I didn't listen to this knuckle head, back in 2011. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownhornet78 Posted May 1, 2015 Share #4702 Posted May 1, 2015 Glad I didn't listen to this knuckle head, back in 2011. Lmao!! I actually remember going through this thread during my waiting period and I remember that post!! And for all those patiently waiting. Word from a valuable source is that they are awaiting approval for the new budget. So in May, June, etc. they're going to ramp up the hiring. So just make sure you guys are well prepared. Good luck to all!! And CONGRATS ErikNYC!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikNYC Posted May 1, 2015 Share #4705 Posted May 1, 2015 Just got back from the pre-employment. Everything went smooth. I arrived at 7AM, and was out of there by 10:30. Warm friendly staff and facility. I was told by another employee, I will be able to give a month notice to my current employer, when the time comes. Now I have to wait for the call... Anywhere from three to ninety days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakeman Posted May 1, 2015 Share #4707 Posted May 1, 2015 Even with having(I thought) all my ducks in a row, I still need more documentation from a few doctors. Should have everything within a week, well before class start date. Be careful what you tell them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikNYC Posted May 8, 2015 Share #4708 Posted May 8, 2015 That's great news Brakeman. I was there yesterday and I hope to get my call early next week. I'm optimistic! Hey Loydmike, Did u get a call back yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixRising Posted May 8, 2015 Share #4709 Posted May 8, 2015 Hello Everybody, I was contacted via telephone on Friday May 1st to come in May 6th to take my physical and complete my final processing. All went well on 6th and I'm now apart of the upcoming May 18th class. I wanted to take the time to thank everybody that has checked in on my status since October 2014 and all the current employees that answered any question I asked and anybody else that provided helpful feedback to the forum. I will definitely keep everybody posted on my progress and I can't wait to see more of y'all get the blessing I just received. Have a great day everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixRising Posted May 8, 2015 Share #4711 Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks ErikNYC. It'll come just stay patient and in good shape.

PhoenixRising Posted May 8, 2015 Share #4714 Posted May 8, 2015 ErikNYC, the only thing they were concerned with respectfully was if I could begin on "their availability". I of course obliged. Hopefully that's not a dilemma for you. I hope I answered your question to the best of my ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEndMan Posted May 8, 2015 Share #4717 Posted May 8, 2015 Listen to your instructors. My instructors beat all the information into our heads. But it was all worth it. When your in school car, you learn the school car way. Which in all aspects is the correct way. Once you do yx, then you're on the road on your own, totally different scenario. Real world conditions. Just study all material given to you, take notes when on road ops days, & take this serious. Train buff crap will get you nowhere. When taking tests,think before you answer & use all the time given. Above all else,always make sure to have ALL your equipment with you. Good luck to all & be safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTAhopefullMatt Posted May 8, 2015 Share #4720 Posted May 8, 2015 @LoydMike, congratulations. Does anyone know when the next class will be after May 18th? Will they continue on a monthly basis in the middle of the month? I'm trying to figure out when I might get called in for the drug test and eventually for school car. Thanks, Matt (list #37xx) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker013 Posted May 8, 2015 Share #4721 Posted May 8, 2015 Congrats Loydmike! I will be going to YX in a week! Pay attention to every thing your instructor tells you and take lots of notes...before you know it you will be in YX...I heard there will be another three classes after the 18th...one per month for next three months! There is a mass exodus of retirees this year through March next year. I wouldn't be surprised if they call in another three classes for the fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
