They mean a year of probation, actual training is about 6 months or so. 

He said the training was almost a year & that probation for operator was extended to more than a year but that he wasn’t too sure himself

Congratulations. Can I asked what were the steps you took? I've done 3 pre employments. Can you share your timeline? I know myself and others would greatly appreciate any and all information that's is shared.

So i was actually called for my first pre employment last year in april 2022 and then medical in  june 2022.  Got put on med hold. Had to get cleared for med hold and reinstate my name back on the list and wait for the new certified which just came out in march 2023.  went for pre employment for the 2nd time in march and then medical in april and got appointed.

If that's true then that's new, I went through it all. 6 months training then released to the road. Probation 1 yr. Now I heard the new guy in charge of school car is a hard-ass, so things might have changed.

probation more than 1 year?   that's gonna be a 20% success rate. they are out of their minds
a lot of folks should NOT be on the road honestly.
including yours truly.............heeeheeeheeeee

but that's ridiculous........ it's probably their new scare tactic to scare ya'll......probation has always been standard 6 months.  if you get into trouble....they might extend it

The one thing that will get you extended for sure is calling out. Try to control that shit the best you can.

Had orientation today.  Congrats to everybody else that was there too.  Quick question.  One of the people there said that the motorman training was close to a year.  I thought it was 6 months for A division and 8 for B.  Also is the best train to take coming from the bronx, the D?  If I'm not mistaken, it stops at Bay 50 street station right by the school. Please help

It's 5 months for the A and 6 months for the B. Who said that a tss??cuz nobody uses the term "motormen" down here, or at least I've never heard it.

They are probably just trying to scare them like they did to us when we did orientation. I remember they said if you even close your eyes and look like you're sleeping, even off the clock, you can get fired....the first day of actual school car we went to CCY and I went to the crew room and everybody was sleeping with blankets and pillows lmao

Some people still say motormen. You see it more in worktrains, so maybe it was a TSS that was in worktrains before moving up.

So true! And that guy didn't even get fired. He's restricted. But he's still here. But I doubt he'll survive this. 

Trust me hes gone no way this guy is seeing the inside of a  train cab again unless its a picture of it.... 

They'll just use him for platform for a while then call him in and fire him...

This is the game they play that false sense of hope and chit...

Folks have been fired just for attendance...

Hopefully they are going to pull peoples coat about SICK CONTROL and how to not get on it...

Wondering if anyone has any information on upcoming classes?

It's one 1 by contract right? I dunno why they are telling new hires training is one year probation longer. That's just not true.

Yeah it seems misinformation is running around a lot even from supervisors as well as other rookies...

[Dblock148]

Just got an email to come back and do pre processing again for April 25th. List number is 60xx so anyone who is around that number be on the lookout.
