No more than a total of 7 days or 3 instances in two out of your last 3 years. 

[astogezz]

So they count back 3 years from when they pull your records? Some one told me rolling 3 years not sure what that means

For example if they pulled your record today they would be looking at

9/26/22-9/27/21 (year 1)

9/26/21-9/27/20  (year 2)

9/26/20-9/27/19 (year 3)

These are the rolling 12 months 

also from experience they just pass you over no one tells you unless you know someone. The way to keep track is by seeing what list numbers have been called and if they past yours , you’d have to find out why

Do accidents and onboards matter ?

[Chris3418]

I believe they do as well

Unless they have lead to suspension you should be okay 

[astogezz]

Is dispatcher like b/o where ta dispatcher can work at oa depots ?

[SevenEleven]

Nah, there’s no consolidation. If you’re a TA dispatcher, you can only work at TA depots. The only shared space for OA and TA is the Command Center.

They don’t need to complete this list before they give the next exam. 

[Dblr33]

Heard OA is up to 198 with the class on Sunday!

[Dblr33]

TA is up to 146 

[bronxbomber2]

How many ta were in the class?

[astogezz]

Anybody know when the next class is suppose to be ?

[Dblr33]

Nothing new as to when the next class will be called??

[Gangsty]

Is quiet in here. I guess the person who used to update this thread often was hired or something. 
Don’t forget about the tail,” US”. You won’t imagine the pain that we feel at this point. 
New test coming out and all the clases only taking the minimum TA’s. 
I wonder why people swap from OA to TA when is so easy for them to get promoted. 
Someone come crack jokes with us so we can see this time pass in jolly spirit. 

[Dblr33]

I agree...I'm 25 folks away...but with a new exam next year...it'll take about another 10 to 12 months to come out with a new list....so we have about another year in purgatory lol

[el-jesse]

About a week ago, I was speaking to to 2 disptachers and they told me there was a class nov 2, only 4 ta we called and they had gotten up to 160 on the list. I'll get the right number when I get back from rdo.

[Drivingincircles]

Was talking to the sld that actually makes all the Brooklyn road schedules. He said January a class is coming. No clue how many will get called. Good luck guys and girls

[astogezz]

There was no class in Nov im next in line to get called I was back up for the last class on Oct 9 I’ll let you guys know when I get called.

[Dblr33]
