Pelham Bay Dave Posted February 3, 2013 Share #1476 Posted February 3, 2013 Yeah they don't need as much Conductors now. However T/O's are leaving in droves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BX Girl Posted February 3, 2013 Share #1477 Posted February 3, 2013 Its gettiing close I'm in the 12's, you might be getting called for this instead of conductor. Better anyway better paying and a better job. Conductors get looked down on while train ops are the respected ones. In my opinion both jobs are difficult - Conductors have it a little harder when it comes to dealing with the public. Too many nasty folks out there that taunt and spit on someone just trying to earn a living and serve the public. All done while keeping a level head so as to not get written up or terminated. With the added bonus of less pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poughkipsee Posted February 3, 2013 Share #1478 Posted February 3, 2013 I was hoping to do a little of both. I reallllllly want that hat and a chance to work the middle, even if for just a week. But my ultimate goal is stripey. By completing schoolcar I will actually be able to say I reached my lifetime career goal of operating a passenger train in customer service. It's almost unreal that it is so close to happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are correct. its not easy as easy as it looks, you deal with some of the nastiest public who look at you like you owe them money, eyes always on you especially with supervision because of knuckleheads F'n up the job ect ect. & all this for a pennies. I look at my paycheck after 2 weeks I want to cry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc0v9g9 Posted February 5, 2013 Share #1494 Posted February 5, 2013 Correct - I am waiting to be called, and I believe I have stated on this site my list # range is low 900's. As per my notes, I check off list#'s and ranges using the pdf which I downloaded from the Chief. Please explain how my actions are suspect when I'm using public and freely shared information; then reorganizing it and reposting for other's "FYI"? Does anyone else have a better method other than calling DCAS or MTA HR? Please advise... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BX Girl Posted February 5, 2013 Share #1497 Posted February 5, 2013 I'm listed between 580-600 and I went in for the DT 1/31. Someone else mentioned (List 550-600) that they received a call to come in for Medical processing the day after their DT. IMO, there's nothing "suspect" about taking notes in regards to when forum members go in for DT's and Medical processing. All that does is prevent someone from having to comb through 70+ pages to answer a question that has probably already been asked an answered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else have a better method other than calling DCAS or MTA HR? Please advise... Your actions, questions seem suspect because it looks like your looking for something other that your list # to come up. Actually it looks like your working at MTA and reading all our post. I'm listed between 580-600 and I went in for the DT 1/31. Someone else mentioned (List 550-600) that they received a call to come in for Medical processing the day after their DT.

All that does is prevent someone from having to comb through 70+ pages to answer a question that has probably already been asked an answered. Everyone whose on here waiting is getting called putting up there list # range and keeping the topic up to date. Its suspect when he's asking everyone who post here thats on the list what their list # is. Read all his post and you will see what I'm reffering to.
