Well I had pending cases (tickets) and I was never asked about that during my pre employment back in November. So... yeah. Just my experience.

Let me know what they say if you have to pay them on the spot so I know

Guess I gotta take the points lmao, because nothing is stopping me from getting that job, looks like defensive driving to get the points reduced 🤷‍♂️

Facts but defensive driving can do only so much for you I only care because I’m a part time plumber/ truck delivery driver and points on my license is not something I need

I had red light ticket because a cop was in his feeling was trying hard to find something 

 

had like 10 cop cars on me that night just because I had a vest, handcuff, gun belt but I work as a armed armored truck driver 
 

Long story short, when I was in pre employment I was told to come back when I finished getting rid of the ticket 

so on that same day I went to dmv and plead guilty even tho I had plead not guilty

and went back same day to the same guy who was doing my application and then I was able to do my urine test

How are you doing with the crew shortages? Seems like the job is stressful enough with full staff. 

It's hard a lot of trains got cut like the B,Z and W trains and people who got picked jobs on those lines got reassigned. I'm still new as a t/o and been getting shit jobs when you get in you'll see what I mean it's super stressful with family time.

Hi, is there any way I could reschedule the OPA? I am unable to get the time off from TA to make the appointment. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance..

Yea, I submitted a slip to the union to swap my RDO and was told that to many operators are going to be out that day. Drawbacks of being a probie I guess.

Welp. Aside from switching tours or a later job, you should email/call them up to have it rescheduled. Though, if I were you I would finish probation before you make the jump. I had a classmate who was a bus operator who failed schoolcar and couldn't go back to buses because he was probationary.

Yes indeed finishing probation first is a must, just keeping all options open. Thanks for the info..

I spoke to someone in employment operations 

and they told me next class should be next week or following week

 so people who in the 423x list and above waiting to be called for medical should be ready 

[Future ENY OP]

Any word from employment ops for those who are at list #'s 5K, 6K and above on the list for pre-employment/OPA?

You should get a email like this

Just received a phone call to come in for pre-employment on 2/1/2022 but I've already done it and am currently on medical hold. 

I guess you all should be on the lookout for calls and emails.

Do you have the papers to get off medical hold?

Nope. Gotta get 30 days of cpap data back to them. Still waiting to receive my cpap machine.

Just got the same call and text for the pre-employment. I'm also still waiting for my CPAP machine. Should be getting it in like 2 weeks. 

So just disregard this text since I'm already halfway through being medically cleared? Don't want them to take me off the list if that's a possibility if I don't report on 2/9.
