mediccjh Posted October 8, 2012 Share #1203 Posted October 8, 2012 Maybe some people get depressed after a while of hearing steel squeezing and grinding upon steel in dark cold alleys surrounded by people who don't give a dam about you. Couple that with the fact that your personal life will suffer and you seemingly have no time off as its spent resting and catching up, even when you manage, half the time its on odd hours. Then maybe half your colleagues dont have anything to conversate about except maybe job related jargon. Its definately a different life, least that's the impression I get. It's just like being an EMT or a Paramedic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally find 8094 moving along quite nicely. Its on pace to definately go over 2000 call ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted November 1, 2012 Share #1221 Posted November 1, 2012 Now there will be monthly groups of 20 (split to 2 groups of 10 of course) for the following few months after the December class IIRC. I think they typically send the first letter to double to triple the amount of people they need for each class, so if that trend continues, #1000 would be starting the pre-hiring process by February. Holy crap, I need to start looking for my diploma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Summer? Id Appreciate Honest and Real Answers...Thanx HAHA! Thats funny. Well frankly speaking, this isn't Colorado. Trees are still illegal in this state and county, so it's likely Transit will be testing for it along with other illegal substances. It's impossible to tell when you will be called up, it really is. With that said, you should probably quit now to help avoid any complication during your medical exam. Even during employment the MTA sends you for medical testing once or twice a year I believe.
