LOQV Posted February 15, 2016 Share #53 Posted February 15, 2016 Does anybody know how the seniority point structure is calculated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransitKid611 Posted February 15, 2016 Share #54 Posted February 15, 2016 Does anybody know how the seniority point structure is calculated. I believe its 1 point for every 3 months of service? 15 points max.... could be conpletely wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricknologist Posted February 15, 2016 Share #55 Posted February 15, 2016 I believe its 1 point for every 3 months of service? 15 points max.... could be conpletely wrong though It's a half point for every 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted February 16, 2016 Share #56 Posted February 16, 2016 Does anybody know how the seniority point structure is calculated. 70 + ( 1/2 point for every 3 months of service) = your seniority score Your final score: (Your test score x .85) + (your seniority score x .15) = total score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsHottieWithBody Posted February 16, 2016 Share #59 Posted February 16, 2016 Did anybody go to the protest session today? I wanted to so badly, but didn't clear last night until almost 3AM so that was shot to shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsHottieWithBody Posted March 30, 2016 Share #60 Posted March 30, 2016 I don't think I even want to go the TO route anymore. I'm starting to possibly consider Tower Operator. Maybe. Filing opens April 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricknologist Posted March 30, 2016 Share #61 Posted March 30, 2016 There's a shortage of tower operators.The April filing is the 3rd one within 4 years. Not helping is the fact that few people are passing the exam(<90 people 2 tests ago, <40 the most recent test). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted March 30, 2016 Share #62 Posted March 30, 2016 That's because the tower operator test is not easy. It assumes you have knowledge of what a tower operator does. There are handful of things to remember that can help you. Always remember "Signal switch signal" when lining up a train. Meaning take away the signal (make it red), then move the switch, then clear the signal so the train can proceed. There are also several types of machines in use in towers - GRS, US&S, NX, UR, mini lever, and the computerized tower used at Hudson Yards. Buddy a tower operator and ask them if they wouldn't mind demonstrating a few things to you before the next test. Most of them are very proud of what they do, even if there aren't as many of them as there used to be, and happy to show you. And while you're at it, see if you can get a photocopy of their induction manual, or look through it and take some notes. Every little bit helps.

MsHottieWithBody Posted March 31, 2016 Share #63 Posted March 31, 2016 I find it incredibly unconstitutional that they expect you to know a Tower Operator's job when you take an exam to one day become a Tower Operator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsHottieWithBody Posted March 31, 2016 Share #64 Posted March 31, 2016 Especially when no study materials are provided and one has to resort to backdoor measures. The civil service examination process is supposed to be fair and reasonable. This just sounds to me like they want to take our money for this overpriced exam and not actually hire a soul.

The civil service examination process is supposed to be fair and reasonable. This just sounds to me like they want to take our money for this overpriced exam and not actually hire a soul. This is something I find myself saying a lot on this job, and a lot in life. It's not meant as a slight against you personally in the least, so don't take it the wrong way. I really mean this in the best possible way. You can complain about it, or you can use your new knowledge to your advantage and get a leg up on everyone else.

CeeMatt3000 Posted April 5, 2016 Share #67 Posted April 5, 2016 That last Tower Operator Exam was a nightmare. I had the study materials for it but after the first time, I can't bring myself to spend the money again. Maybe if the ATD or T/O exams I took don't pan out, I'll reconsider.

TransitKid611 Posted August 15, 2016 Share #68 Posted August 15, 2016 Just wondering if anyone has gotten any word of list numbers/score for this exam?? I believe the current list expires next month and still nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOQV Posted August 15, 2016 Share #69 Posted August 15, 2016 The mta actually extended the life of the current open competitive train operator exam that it is hiring people from until September 2017. As of right now the mta hasn't sent out the scores and list numbers for the promotional train operator exam that we took in January. I was promoted to train operator in April off of the current list that transit is hiring from and from what I've seen so far lots of train operators are retiring and getting ready to retire once a new contract is ratified. I'm pretty sure once transit starts hiring from the promotional exam list it will go through it quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I know some folks decided to take the promotion to Conductor instead of waiting to be called for T/O. I'll have to go down to 180 Livingston and see what's up. So far I haven't received my results from the exam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
