LinkyOG Posted January 8, 2023 Share #2379 Posted January 8, 2023 Just came back home from the SnD feeling super good. I was aiming for 100 tbh I didn't meet my expectations stumbled on one of two definitions but overall I feel great man. A lot of people were dropping like flies and you could tell a lot of people weren't doing well because they were running out the classroom. The instructors started grading people's tests someone wrote " Sorry for wasting your time" LMAO really not trying to speak too soon but I'll just say, it's a beautiful feeling when preparation meets opportunity. Happy New Year btw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instructor said there was actually 40+ odd people, we had to split the class in two rooms 53 minutes ago, mnoer48 said: Did they mention when they would be emailing results? They said anytime from 4 days to a couple weeks I guess to let you know if you passed and to set up the panel interview. An engineer instructor in the hallway was saying that they are trying to set up a class either in late January or mid February and that they might be under a little pressure because they just released a "crew book" for Grand Central Madison and they are super short on Engineers. I'm not sure what any of this means Dre can probably provide some insight. Preparing for the SnD was pretty tough but I've heard phase 1 and 2 make it look like a piece of cake and we'll wish we could go back to just studying some signals and definitions. Not trynna get ahead of myself but What was your experience like Dre ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trynna get ahead of myself but What was your experience like Dre ? To answer your questions 1. yes we are short about 50-60 engineers. There’s always a class 10 guys graduating 2-3 time a year. Plus 15-25 guys retire every year. The crewbook for routes including GCT was released Sept 2022. The crewbook doesn’t go into effect until GCT does a full opening. They were supposed to open in Dec. didn’t happen. Too many kinks that they’re finalizing. There will be a shuttle service program (soft opening) before the new crewbook takes effect. But to as to when will it begin. We don’t know yet. 2. It’s true. P1 and P2 make it seem like a cake walk. But don’t worry you will keep studying the signals and Definition for the next 16 months along side drawing, air brake, rules and regulations. Plus learning how to operate. In the most recent class, 1 trainee failed out the program. it’s not an easy program. Just be prepared to be mentally checked out with your families and warn them about not being involved in family time. This program does affect marriages and relationships. Kiss your social life’s goodbye for the next 2-4 years. Edited January 9, 2023 by drenyce311 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do ask operational questions. The “What would you do” scenarios along with the common interview questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
