WestEndMan Posted September 4, 2015 Share #5001 Posted September 4, 2015 Promotional is up but the New TO exam is cancelled. Looks like they will be exhausting the time limit for this list. Hope is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dainty2200 Posted September 4, 2015 Share #5002 Posted September 4, 2015 Wondering why they cancelled the open competitive t/o exam for december Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeems1 Posted September 4, 2015 Share #5003 Posted September 4, 2015 It used to be 4618 was the last eligible list number now when you call DCAS automated system it was raised to 4691. Hopefully thats a sign at least they will get towards those numbers. i believe they are somewhere around 4100's. 45XX seems far away for me at this point!!!

Running on Rails Posted September 4, 2015 Share #5004 Posted September 4, 2015 Hey Mikeems1, I'm pretty sure they're gonna reach our name in a few weeks. Maybe by the end of the year. That list goes very quick. My friend got hired in May and his list number was 3483 and that was just in May. 3 months go by and they're up to the 4100's, that's 700 names they went thru in 3 months. That's just to show you that we have a chance, don't loose hopes. By the time they start hiring from the Promocional exam we will hopefully be in School Car for Train Operator. Let's keep out fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeems1 Posted September 4, 2015 Share #5005 Posted September 4, 2015 @runningonrails, i agree with you. All we can do is positive thinking and good hopes. It's all up to how many classes will be put in past Oct. In meantime, best we can do is keep checking DCAS automated system and following up with Mrs. Rivera at times.

Running on Rails Posted September 4, 2015 Share #5006 Posted September 4, 2015 Definitely mikeems1, I think we're gonna be alright. We're gonna make it, trust me. The Promotional Exam for Train Operator is January 9th 2016. And by the time they grade those test and establish the list, it ain't gonna be till around maybe next spring or summer. And our list expires until September 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCka Posted September 5, 2015 Share #5011 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Hey what's up @tprashad0719 glad to hear you got your foot in they normally call you back between 30-90 days the classes have been close to 30 days apart they have 1 for the end of Sept & Oct don't slack on all that paperwork cause you don't wanna be pressed to fill them out when you get notice......good luck As for the other people waiting the TSS told us there short people cause of people retiring, leaving & getting promoted they also had hiring freeze for a year & half before which made then short that's why there hiring so much so there's still allot of hope for many Edited September 5, 2015 by MrCka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeems1 Posted September 5, 2015 Share #5012 Posted September 5, 2015 @MrCks, do you think there will be continuous classes up until this list is exhausted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTAhopefullMatt Posted September 5, 2015 Share #5013 Posted September 5, 2015 @Mikeems1, they generally don't exhaust a list for outside candidates. They do exhaust lists for promotional (internal) candidates. I think the intent in extending the train operator 8098 list was to reach the top 15-20% of test takers.
