Jah Posted June 17, 2009 Share #352 Posted June 17, 2009 when you became a train op My list number was 81 and I got called 14 months after the test. That was the last promotion I can get at transit because I have no sick time now and they care more about that than your safety and disciplinary records combined!!

If you guys have so much trouble comprehending what the pink answer sheet says, maybe you didn't do as great as you think you did on the TO test. It was 99% reading comprehension!

NYC500 Posted June 23, 2009 Share #363 Posted June 23, 2009 I comprehended it fine, I was just trying to be nice. The pink sheet says the *5th* Monday following the test, not 6th. These are precisely the types of questions that were asked on the test. In any case, you were correct about it being July 6th. According to my answer sheet it is the 6th monday which would be July 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYC500 Posted June 23, 2009 Share #364 Posted June 23, 2009 Even though we're competing against each other, at least for when we get an interview, I want to say, best of luck to everyone who took the exam! I was just trying to point out how easy it could have been to have screwed up on some of the questions if you didn't read them very carefully and go back and double check your answers. Less than two weeks to go now! I expect I made a few such mistakes myself on the test and will be pissed and disappointed when I see them. Happens every time.

This is off topic but i just took the exam 6/6/09 for T/O i read a little early that sometime you have to walk in the tunnels, i'm only asking because i very scary of RATS, i'm not a punk but i would rather fight 8 people with guns than have a rat run by my feet.

Pelham Bay Dave Posted June 23, 2009 Share #370 Posted June 23, 2009 Part of a Train Operator Job is to walk the Tracks on Elevated Structures or Subway Tunnels at ANY time. You may have to pick up or store a train in the Tunnel and have to walk the Subway tracks along the right of way to get from the train to Station. If your train goes into emergancy and don't know why you have to walk the tracks. Being afraid of rats is not an excuse from doing your dutys. All I can say is try to overcome that fear or don't take the job. Lives may depend on you to leave your train to check out an emegency exit and then come back and lead your riders and C/R to safety. You can't let a rat stop you or distract you from timely evacations. Everyone hopes that never happen but its the worst case situation you could face.

Urbanfortitude Posted June 24, 2009 Share #374 Posted June 24, 2009 LOL i can see the stories in the crew room getting very interesting over this very issue. I don't like rats at all. I admit that but I think I'll be alright when the time comes for me to walk those tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
