Can I put my self on hold after receiving the letter from the MTA?

[Jas]

Hello Everyone! I recently received a letter in the mail for BO position. My question is can i put myself on hold? My Husband is BO, i stay at home with our son, we do not have child care and cannot afford outside childcare right now. So doing the training and then if i do get the job, we wont have anyone to care for our child. He said that he thinks there is a way to put yourself on hold. When his number was initially called he didn't have his license for 3 years at the time, so he put himself on hold or something similar, a year or so later he was called again and qualified and did the training and all. Please advise! TIA

Is there any free childcare around you. What shift your husband works on? And if you get the job, ask them if you can work a swing shift? 4 AM & 4 PM (8 hours total, weekdays only). You can put yourself on hold for up to 6 months. That Job is taken after 6 months if you cannot find an alternative use

No, sadly no free childcare. My husband’s schd varies between start/end at 5:30am/3pm, 12pm/8pm, 9am-7pm, he does OT when ever available. How do I go about putting myself on hold? TIA

Maybe one of you can pick an overnight run while the other picks something starting in the early afternoon so that somebody is always home.

You can email the Exams Unit with your intention to defer at this time. You have a year from your first deferment to add your name back to the list. You can re-add and defer 3 times in total. After the third reinstatement, that’s it.
