You'll learn that nothing makes any sense in the MTA, especially in Rapid transit ops. Nothing, zilch. Things that should be...are never be.

Sad but true . Not much different in my department either

Thank you! And 🎉Congratulations!!!!! Hopefully we’ll be right behind you! 

Thanks! You all should be right behind us . Oh and did you hear that that disgraced TSS is being demoted for 6 months to TO? People posting about him having to post so do you all who work in RTO already think he’s probably someone holding a spot in one of these classes ?

He was a Line superintendent I think 6 months as a T/O and he's back to where he was...

Yeah but would that make it to where he’s back in school car ? Because people were talking about posting up and people not wanting to post with him because of his history

I was just told that there is a class in October so for those of you who got called and then told not to come you should be part of that next group. And for anyone starting on the 21st all will be going to A division. I don’t know how true it is but this is what I was told. 

[Future4me]

Is that accurate info that the next class is in October?

A division is the numbered trains.  

Does anyone know if we were given the choice which division is better to work for and why?  I see alot of people happy for A but can't remember why, other than its a newer system.

So does that mean the next class will be all b division

A division -

pros: less equipment to learn, less lines and lineups to learn, if u live uptown or in the bronx u wont be traveling to brooklyn so much.

cons: smaller stations means more station overruns, less time between trains, ATS means you are watched more closely

B division -

pros: schoolcar is longer so when u are out on your own, your probation is almost over and unless u go crazy with incidents u are more likely to finish probation, stations are a lot longer so it's harder to overrun although because of the different car lengths u will have some improper station stops (stopping at the 10 car marker with a 8 car train), if u live in brooklyn or queens u will travel less to the bronx

cons: more equipment to learn, more lineups and more chance to take wrong lineups because of that, there is a shit ton of terminals and yards so u will be all over the place when u xx.

Personally I live in the bronx near the 1 and 4 lines. For the most part I havrnt seen Brooklyn much thank god. Only utica/new lots a couple of times and flatbush like once maybe. So if u uptown, A division is it for you.

[Brytstar]

By any chance does anyone have an idea of what’s the last appointed list number. I tried calling Dcas but phon whist keeps ringing.

[Chazwell90]

Does anyone know the last number put into the sept. 21st class.  Also are we remotely sure about an October class?

[Embalmman]

According to DCAS the highest appointed is 1228  Probably deferrals and cleared medical holds   DCAS supposedly updates the database every Sunday

They wont get the chance anyway..

"Time Served" means he already got his "demotion"...

It was basically stuff he said five six years ago anyway that got him in trouble.

I was told this by someone who just took their final. That we were all being drafted to A div and that a class was scheduled for October

I’m not sure . I know they did have a pick recently letting people go from A to B division so this might be why they need A division people

Did anyone here who got into the Sept 21 class get an email today saying that day one was going to be virtual on zoom and day two would be at 248?

Hey BxJay,

Not answering your question, but What did you put for (MAC) - Medical Assestment Center?

Did you select MTA Headquarters?

I received email to fill out safety link.

Thanks in Advance.
