At least I didn't have to wait months longer for it but this really hurts man, my last actual chance was in literally in 2008, don't know if I can wait another whole year at this point since I'm not getting any younger at over age 50. Congratulations though to those who are going into the next steps, the rewards are well worth the hard work once you get that Class I certification 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 I'm really sorry about that bro, I hurts when you want it bad or even are left in limbo for a while. Here's something that may not be your first choice but it's another opportunity that you can test for check it out bro THIS IS THE LAST DAY THAT YOU CAN APPLY SO GET ON IT it's another path with decent money and stability, retirement all that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you will have to take the cognitive test again plus an extra test on math. I would take both. Just in case one doesn’t call. At least you’re in the pool for another. Usually there’s a disclaimer that if you already applied to another position to don’t apply for another. But why not. You never know. Thanks for the info and advice! I’ll definitely be attending the recruitment event for AC. I still haven’t gotten any news from the Locomotive Engineer recruitment event I attended so just sitting tight 🫠😅 Very true! I’ll take what I can get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkyOG Posted January 19, 2023 Share #2436 Posted January 19, 2023 Just got back home from phase 1. I cannot believe how much information was given to me....Book of Rules is WILD to say the least . Had super cool instructors Alex and Pete, you could tell they really want people to succeed. It could be the lack of sleep and working a full time job and while doing this but my Brain is fried going to review my signals and definitions again look over some of Rules 10,12,and 14 and call it a night. Anybody else that was there share your thoughts.... Dre does this get easier in the coming weeks ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll get tested every time you guys meet up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
