cool thanks for this lesson about RDO relief.   it sounds good actually  it's like a hybrid or...in fact kinda like having 2 picked jobs in 1 right?  u can pick and choose

how long does it take to build up enough senority to do RDO relief?  1? 2? 10 years?      think about doing XX for years makes me extremely nauseous

 

For me, my first pick was after three years on the job, and I barely picked. So mentally picture 2.5 years to 4 years as the range to use.

RDO Relief should be possible with your first pick, especially in the A division, but you may not like what's available, especially for your first pick. FWIW, most people tend to have multiple jobs in their RDO relief packages. For example, I have five different jobs across two lines with varying start times. Mind you, I like both lines in my RDO job so it works out. :-)

With that said, until it's time to pick, you can always try the bid sheets. Jobs that other people may loudly complain about may be perfectly viable alternatives if you like a line, or it's convenient for you.

I dont think there is a July. When I went Thursday to clear my medical hold they told me most likely no July but they are still having classes after.

there is no rush....trust me. enjoy your life and time even if ur current job sucks.  cuz once your in Transit....you will think of the good ol times at your current job.

as far as recession......i think city jobs like Transit is even depression proof.  is this correct?  i mean......that's the "image" they give out at least.  

keep your head up high! they will call you!! August is around the curve anyway.  one more month is worth the wait

I'm guessing and praying we were in there with conductors they all went to a division. If I had to guess there were maybe 60 to 80 to's probably more than have went to b and the rest to a

And they clarified no July and probably august ? Or just speculated 

[d4rkst4r]

Are they providing that Kaka bag along with the uniform or is that something we have to buy separately?

Don't underestimate that Apple...i could do 1 to far rock and 1 to lefferts no problem but 2 to far rock 4 out of 5 days a week is no joke, especially when most of what u will operate is r46s. That master controller takes a serious toll on your right shoulder if your posture isn't right and those seats are so old that they are very difficult to adjust for the right posture. I am 6'3 and a lot of times the seat can't move all the way back for leg room so I'm cramped up and sitting low for an hour and 40 minutes. Thankfully i was able to pick and instead of 9 trips to far Rockaway and 1 to lefferts per week, i will only be seeing the rock 2 times a week next pick. Can't wait til they retire those 46s. The vanity wore off quick for me 😂...nice train when it's working and very easy to operate but I'm over it.

Wait...you got off probation earlier this year. And you were just able to get RDO Relief like that?

You mentioned before being let go sadly. When that happens, and you are rehired, as you were, your senoriry is basically brand new again. At least according to rule 9a.

That huge gap between the last huge class hired before the pandemic in 2019, and the current hiring blitz, def came in handy, it seems.

Yea I look at it as it's more time to do stuff I want to do since once I'm in train car I'll have no free time to do anything

I was let go but came back within a year, so my seniority remained in tact. Only reason why. But, my classmates from the B are 100 percent picking next pick.
