Nope nothing at all, when I go back there for the medical imma try asking again. For all of us again

Thank you, my friend. Much appreciated 

[Schecter]

Oh and expect to hear results if you passed to come in for medical/processing within a week or two. Took them 13 days last time back in August of 2020 to tell me to come in for final processing even though that got shot down the day before sending me another email not to come...

Yeah after this one every other train operator exam is going to be only promotional from what I heard through the grapevine.

Honestly its going to be hard to imagine them going back to promotional for train op. While many conductors do go on to become great train ops, there's also a bunch who don't go upfront for a variety of reasons 

 

(I.e. fear of having to walk the structure for put ins, unwillingness to deal with the much bigger list of responsibilities, or they try to tough it out after making the switch but just cannot control a train for their lives.)

 

Some bus operators (though arguably they may have more responsibilities in that seat)  fall into these categories too.

 

Conversely, you have a decent number of off the street folks willing and able to deal with the aforementioned duties.  It's relative..

Regardless of all of that the fact that they took the money for the test usually implies that they have to at least give everyone a shot that is eligible

Yeah I'm feeling the same way, I'm hoping they hire a lot of guys/ladies on here so I can see my future brothers and sisters down here for 25 years plus 😆, tier 6 is garbage so I have no choice but to keep climbing the ladder.

Yeah Schecter you’ll be above me but I think because of COVID and these small sized classes that they are going to just continually hire.  Not to mention there’s quite of number of guys down there that have a lot of time in .  With that being said they will probably continually hire.

in addition, there are a lot of people that moved and left the city, simply don’t want the job because of the risk anymore, have families now, aren’t ready, there’s multitudes so thinking they’re going to blow through a few thousand this year isn’t actually all that unrealistic

I heard also that a lot of people retired and also a lot more of my co workers are getting struck with covid still.

When you were appointed in September, open data stated there were 57 vacancies. How many were actually appointed?

 

29. One was a dud. Someone who was demoted from doing a job at rail control that he wasn’t supposed to be doing . He didn’t even make the week before he retired .

I personally think it would be a bad idea . I was promotional from stations where they say most people don’t make it . If we had 10 promotionals, 6 went back. Bus operators go back . Conductors go back .. I don’t think it’s a good idea at all

Thankfully I'm extra extra as conductor so I don't have any set RDOs or set job yet, I understand the basics of signals I know that's not everything but hey 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah I'm staying in the A ill go to the B when I get to pick: don't feel like being on board at coney Island and ending up somewhere crazy.

The A division just has the R188s(7) R142(2,5) R142A(4) and R62(3) R62A(1,6)

That's my thoughts exactly I heard they do the practical on the SMEE trains not the new tech

Not always true. You can get an 142a .  I just like the lines better and report locations (for the most part).  We won’t be in the same class but I deff hope to be joining you soon.  As I stated before I have a buddy in the cab rn and he’s saying even though my numbers are in the 4000s I don’t have to worry.  
 

my thoughts are that they’re going to do continuous classes because they can’t exactly do all the people in one class due to Covid..... so they’ll just keep perpetually hiring for awhile now
