depmaze Posted April 5, 2013 Share #1751 Posted April 5, 2013 Buddy, you are going to get called I don't know why you are worried. It won't be this year. Perhaps the end of 2014. This list will expire on Sept. 19, 2016. So it has plenty of life left. People in the 3,000's will most likely make it too. Remember with Motorman retiring and being promoted mainly there will always be availability. Thanks for the reply Trainman: You made my day, I thought that I could be in the running but, It's nice to hear that the general consensus is my range 2200's is going to be eventually tapped shot at doing a dream job. Did not want to be too optimistic and get my heart broke. What child has never wanted to be a train operator. By the way congratulations to all the people who have recently been contacted to report.

It looks like the Blitz that was when i started in 2001. More are leaving too another 100 before the year is out i heard. I can see them running through this list.

BX Girl Posted April 6, 2013 Share #1755 Posted April 6, 2013 It's best to get there between 6:45a and 7:00a. The day of my drug test I arrived 7:05a and was out by 11:00a. As opposed to some of the folks that got there close to 7:30. Some of them were still waiting to go back to give a sample. Keep in mind that other lists are active and current MTA Employees report to 180 Livingston for medical testing as well. Good luck all! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BX Girl Posted April 6, 2013 Share #1759 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) BX, who are your TSS's? Hey Kevin - We just found out Friday (but haven't met them yet). Jones & Moran. All of the TSS's we've met so far have been great and informative. No one sugar-coated anything. Pretty much told us what to expect and kept things interesting. Our last two were Hill & Shah - Shah had us laughing right up till we were released Friday. Edited April 6, 2013 by BX Girl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BX Girl Posted April 6, 2013 Share #1760 Posted April 6, 2013 I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned, but just in case....In my opinion, with all of the upcoming T/O retirements combined with the recent TSS test (a promo exam for T/O's) the MTA will be putting 8098 list to good use. Good luck all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subwaydriver Posted April 7, 2013 Share #1773 Posted April 7, 2013 They'll be hitting the 1,000 mark by summer. Guaranteed. 40 new t/o's a month, and it's been taking anywhere btwn 70-100 to get those 40. Most recent rumor is they need 400 new t/o's by years end.

Boedy Posted April 7, 2013 Share #1774 Posted April 7, 2013 Well I got my letter yesterday report 5/10. List 71X. I have a question. I know everyone says the first visit is drug test only. Then 2nd time is medical/hearing/ekg. However: My letter states : "Pre interview and medical examination, which will include baseline audiometric (hearing) testing. Photographic Identification and social security card are required for pre-employment medical examination." So, my question is, do they just say that and you get just the drug test, or did something change? Just curious. I also just realized that although I never needed glasses to drive, (20/30 vision), I'm guessing this eye exam is deeper than DMV and should probably get glasses just in case, am I correct on that hunch? Thanks and good luck to all who have to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
