If it’s 15 TA then It will go up to 176 because last one to get called was 161

I was thinking… Maybe they went back on the list and grabbed a few that did not qualify initially. 🤷🏽 Thats what happened with the last class. They grabbed 5 operators who they skipped over and then went back and grabbed them when they were qualified.

Anything about OA list?

Nah but I don't think they will be calling OA this class. Word on the streets is that they are over packed. Dispatchers sitting around on the extra list doing nothing just waiting for work. Maybe the next class they will call. Hopefully there is one in July.

Read all the Bulletins, Directives, Rules & Regulations Dept of Buses "The Rule Book" - ((Ask your depot GS Support for that book)), 19A rules, and Code of Conduct,  Ask a Post Dispatchers questions about tricks and tips on road operations. 

The math part is a hit or miss, So far both SLD exams had no math. If there is one, learn recaps.

The last two recent exams were into two sections. "Job abilities, and General Knowledge" 

Good luck. 

IS there a website we can study on like for the Recaps and other stuff?

Could you also send me some of the study guides too? I am also taking the dispatchers exam in April.

Join a fb group called TA and Mabstoa United. They have a huge study guide I been using. It’s like 1000 pages and have all the bulletins and directives and a few practice tests.

Question: I’m on OA Sld and I was told I was reinstated march 2023, none I had found out my exam 7200 had expired 2/7/23. How can I find out if I’m reinstated and if still have a chance of getting called for Sld?

Once you get passed over you have to wait your time to qualify again. That means whatever held you back you have to fix before  being eligible again. Once eligible you have to write a letter to the powers that be to get back on the list. But if the list is expired then so might your opportunity. At least thats the way I understand it be. Contact your GS Administrator. They are the ones who pulls the files and sign off on your promotion along with the AGM & GM of the depot. Good luck.
