Locomotion69 Posted May 8, 2009 Share #302 Posted May 8, 2009 ummm...with the bailout, is the hiring freeze now over? i know the layoffs have been canceled but the news didnt mention anything about the hiring freeze I was wondering the same thing myself,what are we almost 1 yr into this hiring freeze? What needs to happen is for the economy to improve first so more mta workers retire,then the hiring pace will pick up. Beeflexible has a right to be angry,they have all these B/O's lists so close together,#2801(07)#2901(08) #5025(06)#8006(08). The people who decided to have these exams without being spread out more should be slapped around. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckie Posted May 8, 2009 Share #303 Posted May 8, 2009 I was wondering the same thing myself,what are we almost 1 yr into this hiring freeze? The hiring freeze was only put into place about two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Posted May 8, 2009 Share #304 Posted May 8, 2009 The hiring freeze was only put into place about two weeks ago. Yes you're correct. Before a few weeks ago the TA was hiring all along. If they weren't hiring B/O's during that time it is because they didn't need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they weren't hiring B/O's during that time it is because they didn't need them. So this must be related to a different hiring freeze?:confused: 07-11-2008, 11:30 PM DOB2RTO Senior Member Train Operator Transit System(s): WCDOT (Bee-Line) and MTA Subway Car(s): R160B (Siemens), R143, R142A Bus Model(s): Van-Hool T2145, Eagle M15 45ft Commuter Rail(s): LIRR, NJT, and MNRR Commuter Rail Car(s): LIRR/MNRR M7(a), NJT Arrow III Locomotive(s): ALP-46, ALP-44, PL42AC, P32AC- Statistics Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Yonkers, Westchester Co., N.Y.

Jah Posted May 8, 2009 Share #306 Posted May 8, 2009 There may have been a hiring freeze but it DIDN"T include essential employees until just recently when it was made official. B/O's are essential employees. That's why they were hiring T/O's and C/R's during this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob3737 Posted May 9, 2009 Share #307 Posted May 9, 2009 Their has been a hiring freeze since May or June of 2008. I missed a call in April 08 for B/O 5025. I got taken off the list. I had to go to DCAS and put myself back on in Sept. 08 I have went to and called 180 Livingston religiously since and I always get "We're on a freeze" or "We won't be calling for a long time" one time although I was told "Try to give us a call in May" I went to 180 Livingston on Tuesday and saw people there for the Boss which I have taken for TA and now wonder what's going on? I've also taken and passed the Drug Test for MTAB. I've also taken the Boss for OA now I'm just waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record they are up to #2795 for the 5025 list. ______________________________________________ " 06-11-2008, 08:32 PM Nogimmicks "For anyone waiting to be hired off list 5025, This past monday they had a new class of 108 people. They said that was the last big class for a while. Now it will be 50-70 per class." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee Flexible #823 Posted May 11, 2009 Share #309 Posted May 11, 2009 I think that 180 mentioned something about another list being called before they start calling off people from lists 2801 2901 or any other exams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealteam1962 Posted May 11, 2009 Share #310 Posted May 11, 2009 thats good news to hear they are having a big class of 100 or more then back to 75 which is the normal size i remember the instructor telling us that it took 300 to 400 people to get a class of 75 people due to not having permits,accidents,failing the drug test ,eye test, hearing test,blood pressure etc.i wish everyone good luck because its not a cake walk landing a job with the nycta .with those statistics :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noflexdont Posted May 12, 2009 Share #318 Posted May 12, 2009 you do not need school endorsement for MTA. IF you fail any endorsement(not CDL permit) go to another DMV to take test for the sameday,you just cant retest at the same location. That is what i did when i failed passenger endorsement.

Locomotion69 Posted May 12, 2009 Share #320 Posted May 12, 2009 I know we don't need the (S)endorsement for the MTA,but our driving schools told us that we needed it to take our dmv road test on a school bus. It doesn't hurt to have that endorsement on your CDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't hurt to have that endorsement on your CDL. They Lied! You don't need a school bus endorsement to take a road test on a school bus! All you need is P endorsement! You have to have the S endorsement for school bus driving work only! A few years back, there wasn't a such thing as S endorsement but them school bus drivers had too many accidents killing and injuring kids so the skills and endorsement was made!
