so what do conductors actually do?

I'm sensing sarcastic animosity with your post, and If i'm mistaken, then my apologies. Your comment came across as adding extra toxicity to the unfortunate environment of Train Operator vs. Conductor. 

Also If i recall correctly, you made a post in a different thread about your failure to communicate with your Conductor, resulting in them refusing to open train doors, or pulling the cord on you. Hopefully one day the "us versus them" dilemma can start to be resolved.

You cant have a BMI of 35 and over and your neck size has to be 17 inches or below

I thought that at 17 inches or above that they would put you on medical hold? 

 

Can someone please answer my question?

I believe its 17 and below if I remember correctly, anything larger can put you at risk for going for a sleep study test.

Does anybody know when is the best time to call Ms. Vargez? I've been calling her phone and it rings out every time.

nah it was an earnest question. My story has nothing to do with my it. I know some of the conductor duties but not all, maybe there are some things that aren't as obvious like door operation that I wanted to learn about. And trust me, there is no operator vs conductor, that's just a myth to fuel the narrative.

Note to any future new hires attending orientation - Don't wear shorts, don't wear non-Transit hats and definitely don't get caught sleeping even during orientation!

You won't get to pick your shift until you get to pick your job which can take up to a year or a year and a half. Picked jobs will be based on seniority. When you first start out you'll be considered extra extra which is random times and random RDOs. When it comes to division that will be based on your list number from what I've seen the B division fills up quickly and people get tossed into the A division as soon as the B division gets filled up.

Hey guys.. What are the chances of them hiring someone with a list number of 12,000? A buddy of mines has that list # and I know that exam expires in 2022..

When i called DCAS last number they are processing is in the 8,000 & hired was like 1,500 or something like that..

I was in school car last year for TO, but resigned when Sanitation called me...

Hey guys,

I got out on medical hold today. But I already received my papers from my physician to clear me tomorrow. The doc told me to bring those papers ASAP and he will clear me. So I will go back tomorrow. Hope for the best.

Adding onto what Scheter said when you're almost finished with the training course you'll fill out a preference sheet with what tour and rdo's you want. Just an FYI your tour/rdo's are subject to change on a weekly basis based on the needs of the crew office while you're xx and you may/may not get what you want.

Highly unlikely but hey you never know the previous list was calling people for 10 years.

Yeah they told us that today staying on extra extra varies how long u stay on that list? Or it lasts for a whole year?

I think it depends I know the next picked jobs are happening in October but none of us will have the luxury to pick then since we first started and all the people with seniority are going to be jumping on it.

I just received my KaKa Bag today. I thought we couldn’t have a bag with straps? The bag that I got today has straps for days. The reason I got this bag was because I read on here that it’s the best bag to get for MTA

I got the KAKA bag for school car. You can turn it  into like a duffel bag and carry it over your shoulders.
