Bruticus Posted August 11, 2008 Share #101 Posted August 11, 2008 NASCAR Almost sounds like you where at 179 , CTL or Stillwell. I would put my money on 179 with that PM Line TSS. LMAO HAHA I saw him the other day and it sounds like his silly ass. The man who will never be Supt and has more pictures of himself in any cab than any other TSS in the system. Tell me the Number 1 man schooled him in being a TSS god man I hate that dude he's a sneak I put him in his place one day when he was hiding at a station. He was like how did I know he was there I told him simple I was in NYPD and I have heightened senses for sneaky people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted August 11, 2008 Share #102 Posted August 11, 2008 Lol! Good for you putting that guy in his place! Oh Yeah for our T/O's in training they they drop the B2 on you guys yet to see how it feels knowing you can't stop fast. Some instructors don't do it but they should so you don't panic when it happens to you on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some instructors don't do it but they should so you don't panic when it happens to you on the road. Not yet,in fact when we do inspections they tell us to look at the circuit breakers to see if that B2 is cut-out!B) I'd hate to see a B2 cut-out on an R-46!!:eek: Hey,schoolcar is teaching us one way,but I notice alot of guys doing crazy stuff! Yesterday in the yard,this T/O made No safety stops when he added some cars.I also noticed that some guys don't even bother to inspect the trains after they couple them!What if some lazy person before you don't add any handbrakes to the block end and that thing rolls back??:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASCAR Posted August 13, 2008 Share #104 Posted August 13, 2008 It's things like this, that makes me really want to go the union way. Problem is, I would be like Roger used to be. In managements face, and telling the TA off, on most issues, that punish the workforce. Like I said before, the closest I got to be a man of the people, was at the charter company I worked for, before I came to the TA. Didn't go down to get 25cents extra for everyone else, and a buck more for myself, like the two most senior people there did. Everyone got $1 more per hour, and started off with more. They did try to con me into accepting more for myself, and forgetting the others. I don't play that, nor did I. It was everyone or no one. Back to the MTA, I don't trust the new management anymore that I trusted Pataki's administration.... Just our luck right??Don't you hate when you get a new job or position people always make you feel like you missed the party??They always say"Things aint what they used to be,I remember when you could do this or that etc."Ha Ha...lol I hope you get in a position where you can help people and fight for what is right! I feel like it is us vs.them(TA) and it shouldn't be like that at all.We are gonna make mistakes,TA wan't perfection and that's impossible.I think ALL unions are shady but we need them.(job security) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASCAR Posted August 13, 2008 Share #105 Posted August 13, 2008 Today the class took a "JOY RIDE" from continental ave. to Bay parkway in Far Rock! I kinda like the line!When we went over the bridge the views were beautiful.We also saw the tracks that the R-160's get tested on.I like the R-46 because of it's smoothness but the breaking is not that great.:mad:Breaking is tooo long!!! Some of my classmates blew station stops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted August 13, 2008 Share #106 Posted August 13, 2008 Its always good to check your breakers but sometimes the B2 drops on you and it won't reset while your enroute. You will see some crazy stuff going on in the Yard and when your out on your own some of your Yard Partner who been here since they built the Yard will encourage you to take thier short cuts so they finish the moves faster. Do what you feel is right. On the same note there is School car way and the real world way of doing things. One example they tell you before leaving the cab to turn the Control cutoff switch OFF. Doing that on the road someone will be looking for you like the T/O who took over your train because he took power and nothing happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted August 19, 2008 Share #121 Posted August 19, 2008 Oh yeah I heard you guys around W 4 and gave your TSS a shout out on the radio. Yeah a lot of places will NOT let you park your car in the Yard without a Permit and 207YD and Lenox are the worst you can't park in the yard just with a Permit but also a Special YARD sticker from the Supt of the Yard. You have to be careful parking around Woodlawn, Bedford Pk ,Concourse area because they will break into your car in that area. I been lucky parked it over night but I see cars with Busted windows from time to time. Now at Woodlawn working the my car was busted into along with other co workers. Oh yeah I seen another new T/O School car class at Euclid they took my as a taxi into Pitkin YD. That was a interesting group quite keeping to themselfs and don't even say hello. They looking at the floor like no one is around. I have seen classes like that and they are normally the ones I exept to see on the Platfrom with in the first month of being released to the Crew Office. So both you guys tell me your class isn't the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In school car it got to be done Thier way to pass and most likely since your in a O/C class they will try hard to make sure all you guys pass and come on to the road. However if you where a Promotional Class they would put the problem people back to thier titles in a second which had resulted in some Bitter C/R's out there.
