Will-Bx-718 Posted December 17, 2009 Share #851 Posted December 17, 2009 EXCELLENT post and you are spot on. The people that spout this garbage care only about money. The people are extremely shallow in these jobs, and they will sell you out. They say they aren't "forced" to work those hours because it sounds better, but they really are. I do not know a single person who enjoys staying late. However, I do know plenty who try to justify it as "not that bad" by using stupid reasons like "they pay for my dinner when I work more than 10 hours" Now as for the "hiring freeze" comments, I'm just going to say this and it's my personal opinion on the matter. Things are moving along and until I hear otherwise from a reputable source involved with schoolcar or C/R hiring (since this is the C/R thread not the B/O thread) I will continue to assume things are moving along as scheduled. And no, a news media story talking about a freeze is not a reputable source, since if you believe everything the media tells you, you still think that the conductor is the one "driving" the train...and that's that. I understand the position of the employees here because they don't want to encourage people to put all their eggs in one basket, but I really think it's too early to start saying classes are going to get cancelled and years are going to be added to people's wait times. When something comes up that would make that true, then it's newsworthy but right now it is all speculation and much like the "car assignments and moves" discussions, "I'll believe it when I see it" Hey aint nothing wrong with optimism, I believe all this stuff the MTA is talking about is BS anyway. But if the hring freeze is true and they do in fact lay off people then anyone on a waiting list should reasonably expect to wait a little longer.

Pelham Bay Dave Posted December 23, 2009 Share #856 Posted December 23, 2009 Update... The next conductor class is on schedule. I am in the next class for dec. 28 Congrats! Hope to be working with you soon! Ok for all the other C/R and T/O classes are STILL being called they got Promotional C/R's and O/C T/O classes from the last list being hired. Where it will get tricky is IF they cut service but that is still al wait and see game. All those who are on the current T/O list and the Future C/R and T/O list hope is is alive!
