Hello all, 442x here. Just got home from pre employment.  First off, it’s a LONG day, be ready for that and make sure you have no other obligations during the time you’re there.  If you work take off.

 

with that said you’ll go sign in at the front desk and continue to the 5th floor .  You’ll check in and sign your name that you’re reporting.  For us, they took us upstairs with the director of training g and gave us some things to learn and know about the job.  We then went back to reception and someone went thru the whole employment processing paperwork on a group basis

 

*my advice, have everything already completed, it’ll get you through faster.*. Quicker you hand in your application is the quicker you get taken to the lab.

 

you’ll then go the lab where it says stamp your paper….unnecessary for us so only do that if they tell you.  You’ll wait (again) to take a urine drug test.  They will not provide water unless you don’t provide a specimen.  But you’ll be there 3 times as long for sure.  You’ll then receive your drug test copy of papers and be sent on your way .  They say they’ll contact you within 3-90 days

 

what the training director said:  “don’t worry about how many classes, we’re hiring train operators all year and we need at least 600”. “We’ll be doing two classes a month then skip a month, then do another two classes, etc”

so with that said, more emails to come for sure…keep a look out

 

if y’all can just let me know what we’re up to medical wise it’d be appreciated 

 

any questions I can help

That's great! Nice that the training director talked to you guys. When I went nobody talked to us and I was there from 10 am to 10 pm lol. Mostly waiting for the Lab that was backed up.  I wonder what he meant by "2 classes a month"? Like 2 inductions a month? That seems like a lot. Right now they have done one class every one or two months and they barely have enough class space and TSSs for that.

231 *ROAD* DAYS. Any day on the platform, sick, vacation, in the yard, or doing switching does not count.

So once you're out of school car you dont do anymore yard work? Just driving passengers back and forth?

They could assign you to the yard but since I've been out since October I've only been to a yard only once so far

I don't think they have a choice. They haven't even announced a new test yet. By the time they announce a new test, start the filing period, set up test dates and locations, then give the test, grade them, give time for appeals, and establish the list....it could take up to 2 years. If they let the list expire they wouldn't be able to hire until at least after the appeals are done at which point they'd hire provisionals like before. 

 

I'm glad because my friend had his heart set on this job and unfortunately didn't rest the night before and scored low. Smart guy just a bad test taker. His number is in the 6k range so I'm only keeping an eye on this forum for his sake.

I agree with you and I always felt they had no choice but the sooner they actually announce that the better for all of us. I should have been in May 15th class. On medical hold so prob wont get in until June or July.

Honestly, once you're done with schoolcar, the main reason you'll be in the yard is for put-ins and layups. 

With that said, it honestly depends on the needs of the crew office. Some people don't get yard work at all, while others can see yard work once every few months. There's usually enough senior employees willing to work on their days off or stay late to paper over the yard jobs.
