omaldj Posted October 29, 2016 Share #551 Posted October 29, 2016 How's everyone doing. Got a call today from HR regarding Phase 1, it begins next week. When I went in for my panel interview in April they never mentioned a summer class only the fall one, so I would assume the January or February is the one you guys will most likely be called up for if they never mentioned the fall class. I'm pretty sure this is the final class of the year. Hows class going and how many people are in there with you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drenyce311 Posted October 29, 2016 Share #552 Posted October 29, 2016 Hows class going and how many people are in there with you? They have 10. But one quit the first day so it's down to 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shernan1 Posted November 15, 2016 Share #554 Posted November 15, 2016 Hey guys so I attended the Open House on October 24,2016 and was invited for the background check. I was wondering if anyone here attended that session or if anyone else has been invited to the Signals and Definitions test scheduled in December some time. If I recall correctly, that is what the HR representative said that there was one scheduled during that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drenyce311 Posted December 3, 2016 Share #560 Posted December 3, 2016 heading in for S&D review tomorrow..finally Good luck. Keep studying. Not sure how many weeks they're giving you guys to study the material. They gave us 4 weeks. Don't get overwhelmed with the info. It's doable. I had everything memorized by the end of the 3rd week. 4th week was review. Also start memorizing the easy ones first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dremoney9972 Posted December 30, 2016 Share #565 Posted December 30, 2016 Does anyone have a link or pdf copy of the most recent cba for locomotive engineers? I noticed the one from 08 was posted in this thread, I'm wondering specifically if the article 2 benefits of service on other than regular assignment was changed, ie. if an engineer has to move a train out of his way blocking the tracks do they still get an additional days pay or did they take that away? My brother, a conductor on metro north, said a lot of those extra perks were being taken away with the new contract. just want some clarification. thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp98 Posted December 31, 2016 Share #566 Posted December 31, 2016 The LIRR engineers currently don't have a contract at this point. I believe that it expired last week or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine the blet letting go of any of those work rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp98 Posted January 1, 2017 Share #568 Posted January 1, 2017 do you know if those rules are still in place, or did they take them away? I can't imagine the blet letting go of any of those work rules. They are still in place as far as i know. We'll see what happens when they get a new contract, but i cant imagine that the ble will give them up. Also for those that are interested, they just posted the Engineer Trainee job on the MTA jobs website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up man. This is a job I know I'm passionate for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddbeek Posted January 3, 2017 Share #570 Posted January 3, 2017 Hello guys, A newbie to posting but a regular lurker on these forums just trying to get into the LIRR. Seems like this is one of the few companies left these days that offer a 360 combination of great salary, union, health care benefits, retirement and the whole shebang. Applied to 4 positions i believe i am qualified for since October last year the most recent being the Locomotive Engineer Trainee posted on December 30. I've read this post from page 1 so I know what I am getting myself into. We all know the LIRR works on their own time so ill be here for the ride (pun intended) with you guys. Shout out to drenyce311 I admire your perseverance I'm guessing you are now a licensed locomotive engineer, what a great way to provide for your family minus the odd hours that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diezel Posted January 4, 2017 Share #573 Posted January 4, 2017 Hey all, I just got the phone call for phase 1 and medical scheduled for tomorrow. Can anyone tell me what the medical is like. I also wear glasses for both distance and reading so actually have a pair of bifocals I just got a call as well @ 9:10AM from HR. I asked what it entailed and she said eye exam to see the signal colors and also ability to climb and enter the train. Anyone know what else is expected? Do they do a full medical work up, hearing, eyes, drug test etc? Or is all that when you pass phase 1 and get hired? Also, Its been like 6 months since Ive studied LOL. I honestly lost hope when I didnt hear back from them after so long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
