Anything lower than a 15 on the sleep test will the MTA accept that? 

Anything lower than 15 is mild OSA they are looking for moderate to severe

Did you just walk in and asked to be scheduled an appointment? I got this one paper that states I need to email them back once I get my results 

Email them that email so they can say they got it! I walked in & asked to be scheduled for an appointment. Make sure you let them know you got clearance from your doctor and you’re just waiting on them.. respectfully of course

Did they put you on medical hold also? If so how long ago? I have a sleep study coming this Saturday. Hoping everything turns out well. 

They put me on medical hold the 4th I got an at home sleep apnea test done and got inducted in on the 16th! Don’t give up just fight for yourself, you didn’t come this far just to come this far!

Never mind I just went back and saw your recent post. You scored an 8 on your sleep study. 
 

just about the appointment thing, did you just randomly walk in and set up an appointment or when you walked in they took you right there and than? 

When I got there I went to medical side they asked what I was there for I told them they said I needed an appointment and to go to the HR side to make one! If I was you I’d just go straight to window 3 & ask to make and appointment. State you emailed them and haven’t received a response

I was suppose to get a test done tomorrow, but I need to pay over $600 for the sleep study. So that’s going to push me back a few weeks so I can get my chips together. Where did u get your at home sleep study from? 
 

so once I get my sleep study done and my results, I should email them. Than just walk in and ask to be set up an appointment?

I just saw the website, awesome. Once you did the test did you speak to the doctors at blue sleep? Or you went to your primary doctor?

Everything is with the doctor at blue sleep. It’s all telehealth so you don’t have to leave your house for anything

[Amir]

Does anybody know if there will be another class for conductors? 

[MikeBonds]

So I just found out that my cousin who was on W/c for 2 years was on an injury was cleared in October to start working again for C/R, she waited for the classes since October, she went yesterday to 180 and they told her she’ll be in the upcoming class in February, so yes there is an upcoming class

Even earlier than expected! That’s good for y’all!

[Ryan98]

They been very tight lip about next classes.but they going to keep having classes till the next list is established. Hopefully everyone make it to the next class

[Kamen Rider]

They are expecting a large exodus of manpower in the not too distant future. 20 years ago they supposedly went on a hiring spree, and a lot of employees are approaching the point where they can retire. They needed that next test to have already been given and graded by this point, not delayed.

 

I am going to warn you now, some of you who are still hoping to be hired, they may stick you someplace you don’t want to be. I was lucky, I went from normal extra extra to Extra List without much of an issue. You might not be so lucky. 
 

be prepared to find yourself as a flagger, for example.

they can and will draft people based on the needs of the system. Even on higher ranks. Some TSSs are drafted into being School Car Instructors, for example.

this exam is set to closed on 2/14/24 so if u did not get called then try taking it again

That list hasn't been established yet. So I doubt theyll close out before they even established a list for promotional. In October I was informed by the exam unit that the letters with list numbers for C/R promotional will be sent out in 6 to 8 months. So 6 to 8 months from October would likely be April - June. Unless they sped up the process after October, I doubt any promotionals will be called b4 the spring.

People can and have been called in provisionally and since they are promotional they don't really have anything to lose aside from seniority in their old title.

Anyway, from what I have heard, they look to continue hiring train operators and conductors throughout the first half of the year especially with the likelihood of having a ton of conductors trying to get promoted to train operators in the near future. So who knows what they'll do to keep those classes full.
