Just got a email from the exams unit of MTA stating that they will be sending out notice regarding this exam next month.

I didn't get anything. Let's see a screenshot of this email. Hopefully it's good news we'll be hearing soon. I just heard something discouraging but I don't want to spread unsubstantiated rumors.

I’d like to hear what was discouraging

[CO HOPEFUL]

Rumor has it that they will not hire anyone from the list .

[CO HOPEFUL]

They won’t create the list at all

Bro, I will love to send screenshot but my email pops up, all I can say is take it for what is worth. I sent them a E-mail asking questions regarding this exam and the reply was exactly what I stated before my last email... I don't need to make **** up. Also I will like to hear what the discouraging news you got regarding this position because from what I see I think they are getting things together finally to hopefully hire again but I could be wrong, it is the MTA at the end of the day. I believe they are not part of the 2,700 lay off so just in case you thought that was the disturbing news.

nycapomts I wasn't accusing you of anything, it just sounds a little thin. You can easily take a screen shot and edit your address out.

What I heard from a BTO was that those otj that can pass "new requirements" will be POs and be absorbed by MTAPD. Those that can't will stay BTOs. The title will be phased out and that they will not hire off this exam and will instead use MTAPD going forward. I know we've heard things like this before but it was stated to me as if these are renewed talks about it.

Obviously this is not set in stone and we have heard so many different things over the years. We should take it with a grain of salt. Like some BTOs have mentioned here, they (MTA) don't even know what they wanna do. They seem to change their minds often. All we can do is hope for the best.

I figured they were gonna do that. I knew they were not gonna hire anyone . We will probaly get a notice next month that the title will be phased out and we will be issued refunds for the exam .

Best advice would be take all the exams you can. Keep this in the back of our minds but we should not have high hopes for it as its been years already.

I dont beleieve it. Not one bit. Dont they have a brand new academy ?? Why spend all that money and then not put ot to use. I spoke to a BTO like 3 weeks ago at the marine park bridge and he told me otherwise. And this wasnt a 2 min conversation. This was a good 15 min convo. He has less than 2 years remaining until he retires so im pretty sure he knew what hebwas talking about. The whole MTAPD merge thing is definitely going to happen but it wont happen overnight. Thats takes a while. I thing getting the senority aligned alone takes a whole lot of time. Not to mention for SGTs LTs etc.

And that's part of what's keeping me hopeful, despite what I just heard from an Officer. MTA has invested too much to not hire off this list and they are in need of new blood due to attrition. The LT I spoke to a few months back was adamant they would be hiring off this list so I'm still hopeful but not banking on it.

The new academy was built due to the old one being located within the structure of the RFK bridge and was a health and safety concern. As peace officers we are required to train yearly on deadly physical force, OC and baton, we also do yearly physical and defensive tactics along with elective courses. We needed a place to train so they built a spot for us.

I wonder if MTAPD is going to use that academy instead of using NYPD considering it’s suppose to be a 6 month academy now.

That’s a positive sign

[bklynproud]

Hopefully we hear some good news soon PuertoRican_COP.

[CelticLEO]

hopefully it's something optimal...

[CO HOPEFUL]

We are going to get a letter in the mail that states the list will not be established and we will get a refund . Trust me

O man I hope not
