RTS4Life Posted January 3, 2013 #1 Posted January 3, 2013 I wanted to know who is on 2901. I'm hearing they will start to call people in the next 4-5 weeks. Happy New Year to all
Dan05979 Posted January 4, 2013 #3 Posted January 4, 2013 I think I paid for the application in 2009, did the boss march of '11 and now there calling? 4 years, wow.com
Dan05979 Posted January 4, 2013 #5 Posted January 4, 2013 Not yet hun. I called 130 liv a few months ago and they told me in 2013 they will start calling.
Cappy Posted January 4, 2013 #6 Posted January 4, 2013 I'm on the list, but I was called in July 2012 for a part-time position at MTA Bus. However, I've been placed on a Medical Hold and I'm still in the process of gathering doctor's notes to be cleared off of it.
bklynpsd Posted January 4, 2013 #7 Posted January 4, 2013 i called (347) 643-7221 yesterday and they said that they are up to # 3,075 on the list for exam # 2901.
Dan05979 Posted January 5, 2013 #8 Posted January 5, 2013 really because I'm 1040 something and I havent been reached yet.
CtaMike Posted January 7, 2013 #9 Posted January 7, 2013 I was called last year but I didn't want to go with MTA Bus, so now I'm waiting for MaBSTOA to start hiring.
RTS4Life Posted January 7, 2013 Author #10 Posted January 7, 2013 CtaMike Good choice. I have a friend that was at MTA BUS she was there for 3 year. She left to come over to MaBSTOA. I'm not saying MTA bus is bad. its not for me.
CtaMike Posted January 7, 2013 #11 Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks RTS4Life, I'm taking the exam this Saturday for TA B/O is there any other difference between OA and TA besides the civil service title and should I stay TA since I'm TA already? Despite I only been a CTA for 4 months, and I'm only 27
RTS4Life Posted January 8, 2013 Author #12 Posted January 8, 2013 If your already in the civil service system. Don't move till your called for TA exam you don't want to lose your seniority in the system. OA is not civil service. Remember if you become TA B/O and you want to go into a OA depot you can. OA has almost the same stuff as TA the only thing I think is pension and job protection.
CtaMike Posted January 8, 2013 #13 Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks RTS, oh and how far back do they look at your driving record?
transit bx Posted January 10, 2013 #14 Posted January 10, 2013 I was called last year but I didn't want to go with MTA Bus, so now I'm waiting for MaBSTOA to start hiring. You made the right choice to wait for OA, i will be applying for the next OA exam #3101 in feb,my home girl in my class will be in the next TA class which i told her to take it. MTAB Is not bad but wondering if they ever going to fix that pension system and if they ever going to merge with TA/OA.
CtaMike Posted January 10, 2013 #15 Posted January 10, 2013 That's why I didn't want to go to MTA Bus was because of the pension plan. And knowing MTA that could be years before that happen if it even does. And the union doesn't seem to be very aggressive in trying to do anything for a new contract.
bklynpsd Posted January 14, 2013 #16 Posted January 14, 2013 what list #'s do you guys have? im in the 4480's.
bklynpsd Posted January 14, 2013 #17 Posted January 14, 2013 Dan05979, did you figure out why they haven't contacted you yet?
Dan05979 Posted January 15, 2013 #18 Posted January 15, 2013 I called them in June or July, They told me since I didn't want to go with MTA Bus, Mabstoa section will start calling in 2013.
Dan05979 Posted January 25, 2013 #21 Posted January 25, 2013 Called HR at 180 Liv, "MABSTOA is not using the 2901 list yet, Don't expect anything untill the end of the year" this is some bullshit of you ask me, Good thing I got called for C/R because thats a long F'n wait.
RTS4Life Posted January 26, 2013 Author #22 Posted January 26, 2013 Wow I have a few drivers I know that came off 2901. Maybe they want to fill Mta bus.
Dan05979 Posted January 26, 2013 #23 Posted January 26, 2013 I applied for this in 09, they start calling from 2901 for mabstoa in 2014 thats a 5 year wait for some, disgusting.
RTS4Life Posted January 26, 2013 Author #24 Posted January 26, 2013 Who told you 2014. they already been calling people off of 2901 for mabstoa their are a lot of new drivers at KB and GUN Hill depot from 2901. if you can't wait they will offer you MTA bus. Did they tell you that?
Dan05979 Posted January 26, 2013 #25 Posted January 26, 2013 2 differnet phone calls were made, both the same answer, 2901 mabstoa won't be used any time soon. I don't want the job, I'm just inquiring as if I had no job with the TA yet. My list on 2901 is 1046, I don't know where those drivers came from but I was never asked to come into 180 for any type of orientation for this title.
