Yeah, 146. There was no class November, I spoke to disptacher who said there was a class and he said that no he saw people training on the road as dispatchers.  Sorry for confusion!

Word on the street class of 45 starting Jan 15

[Gangsty]

Hey!!! Don’t play with me. This waiting is getting the best of me. 
Is like waiting for the crush to say yes. 
Get that fact, is the best Christmas gift you will give this year. 
Happy Holidays!!

A TA Class of 45???!🤔 That does not even sound believable. Thats more like a hiring class of bus operators, not dispatchers.

And from the pattern of this TA list a class has been called every 3 to 5 months since its inception of calling up operators to be dispatcher. January 2023 does not sound far fetched for a class. But a TA class of 45??? NAH! I will believe it when I see it.

Maybe a mixed class of MaBSTOA & TA & MTA Bus… YES POSSIBLY.

[SevenEleven]

There is a class of 45 starting in January. Mixed class. I believe it’s 12 TA or so. 

[LeonKennedy]

How do you know its 12 TA?

[bronxbomber2]

This is a fact . It’s 45 coming January 15 is the word. 8-12 ta the rest oa and MTA bus. 

[LeonKennedy]

Has anyone been to the mac yet?

[bronxbomber2]

You won’t go to the mac until the week before the class starts 

[astogezz]

Next class is 5 ta 

[LeonKennedy]

Damn! Thats 30+ MTA BUS & OA getting called up! Sheeeeesh! On their side they must have a lot of Dispatchers retiring. 

[astogezz]

Me too 6:30 on Tuesday 

[Chris3418]

Anyone on the oa side get any notification 

[Gangsty]

Question. If it’s not an issue. Any of you guys are TA and what list number

[LeonKennedy]

They didnt say why i had to goto the mac at 6:30, but the general told me to be there at that time and he gave me the g46.  He said that would probably be my assigned work piece for the day.  Im also TA, and i was #139 for whoever asked.  Theres also an OA operator in my depot who will also be there at 6:30 on tuesday.  I dont know his list # though

[LeonKennedy]

I was supposed to be in the october class but got passed over for using literally 1 sick day over the limit 🤦‍♂️

[SPR688]

I’m assuming everyone in this thread is TA. OA and MTA have their own separate exams and list. So, I can’t see why they would be following a TA thread. Dispatcher classes though are always mixed with TA, OA, and MTA. 

[Didar]

Everyone is posting all different information rather than a solid solution. If we can all put our list number who is being called for Mac, will help us know: what number they are up to. I spoke to a TA SLD today from QV, he said if someone is being called for mac next  week Tuesday, others can also be called for Mac  until the day before the class.  He did his medical just one day before the class and he came from 8702.

[astogezz]

As of right now the class is basically made up of all people with earlier list numbers that their record just cleared up virtually no movement on the list . Maybe they will be calling more people next week and the list will move 

[Dblr33]

I have FMLA and don't have sick days but have only called out FMLA.... I really hope it isn't an issue!
