What exactly does “reached again” mean…. They called/emailed you but you missed the call or something else? That wording is weird

Coolgirl I don't think I missed any call text or e mail. I called them left the voice mail while back. Yes it is little confusing one says they dint get my list number yet other says "again". All I know last guy called from exam 2611 lists number 39x. I m 40x for your reference. I should be called for next class. Let's find out first when is the next class and still don't get any call I will talk to my GS and union to help me out.

Make sure all your evaluations are being send out. Make sure that with your HR. 
make sure HR send it to the right people. 
try to get a confirmation if possible from the HR.

Lol. So i was scheduled to have my sleep apnea overnight test done next Wednesday the 15th. Today i get a text/email from the Doctor saying everything confirmed and what my deductible would be. This one night of test is over $17,000 and my deductible around $2,600. Are these people on Meth? I had to start calling around for other places that can do the study, found a place in Brooklyn called Sunset Sleep Diagnostics that booked me over the phone for next Wednesday night also and they were familiar with clearing folks for MTA pre-employment.

You have to have a good health insurance for this. I worked at another city agency at the time and did not pay a thing, but co-pay.

This might be a setback for people that don't have good insurance. Sleep apnea study is not cheap. Either that or focus on losing weight lol.

I found another place that is doing it for $700 and the good thing is they are used to dealing with Transit employees and scheduled for the same date, next Wednesday.  For anyone going through the same thing, the name of the place is called Sunset Sleep Diagnostics on Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn.

Did you look into one of those overnight machines. They mail it to your house and you connect it before bed. You get the results in a couple days. It’s a lot cheaper.

I did but i wanted to just get this over with asap. Everything went well at 180 Livingston and my neck size was the only setback. I was supposed to be in tomorrows class and this pushed it back.

Thats where some of transit employee’s go to every other year since our medical insurance fully covers everything.

Hi 

my depot is holding me back. Livingston HR said they send in a request for evaluation papers but it has never been send back. And depot been telling me it’s been send in. It’s close to 2 months now. And  6 people went to transit last Sunday from my depot am the only one left. 

[NotRalphKramden]

Did you speak with your union rep?

swing it by the gs if so. That’s not fair 

[JustinA]

Yes. Union said 

“it’s mta business I can’t help you”.

So I talked to Livingston lady who hires bus operator she said they never send in my evaluation and she will see if she put me on next class on April 9th. 
 

some of these depots are mad shady. 
I should report this to 2 broadway

Hi, small question. I took the 2613 exam and I was wondering what's the minimum age to even be called in and potentially accepted. If I passed (based on the answer key I got around a 98%) I do have my cdl already but I'm not sure if it's 18 years (based on what NYCGOV) or 21 years minimum

The minimum age to work for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York City depends on the specific job and duties. In general, the minimum age requirement for most entry-level positions is 18 years old. However, some positions may require the applicant to be at least 21 years old, such as those that involve operating heavy equipment or driving vehicles

Completed sleep apnea test Wednesday night, just waiting on the results. Sleep tech told me as he was removing all those darn wires that i shouldn't have anything to worry about which could only mean that i either don't have sleep apnea or it is minor. Transit doctor only wanted Cpap test results if it's moderate to severe. Hopefully can submit all this in time for the next class, medical hold was the only thing holding me back.
