Bus_Medic Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 He means master sign up. Basically a big reset button. Everyone has to re bid on jobs based on seniority. It happens when a large number of positions are either created or eliminated simultaneously. At least, that’s how it works on my side of the wall. Not sure how it exactly works for the operators.

NoUse4AName Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 @busmechanic Did you have a Z before you worked at TTC and anyone else on here have it before? myself and another person in my training class have our Z and was told we can bypass the practical Z test and just do the in house written Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yeah YOU @busmechanic I found and very old with you in it pertaining to Air Brakes, I have my BZ already as well I just forgot to ask my instructor if I heard him right when he told me I would only have to do the TTC inhouse test for Z and the inhouse bus cert And not have to do the hands on testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your benefit will be having an understanding of air brakes before you start training. The most tedious part about training is balancing everything in your life with homework every night.

georgepaca Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hey guys, my timeline stands as this: Info session/Interview/Offer June 17, Medical July 2, Police Clearance Rec'd and sent July 6. Next step would be an email for documentation? Which would be probably months from now. My question is do we receive any email/mail/phone call from Medical? I know they submit that to TTC but assuming everything is ok, do I get anything? Any confirmation its good? Or TTC has recieved it? Or is it pretty much just wait for the email for documentation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcnicoll is going to be a retirement home Relax guys I'm just quoting a MANAGER from Hillcrest and what he told us in the training class about the master signup, don't shoot the messenger lol loosen your fists of rage lol.. I understand from being in the work force that just because the company or a management says something will happen this way its not actually going to happen the way they said, and he made all of us awear we will be place in a corrdence to the demand of the work force of any given division I think that's what I said this morning on here, I understand I might be pushed out of malvern.. so again just relax and don't jump down my throat for quoting management.. have a better day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoUse4AName Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 On a side note, first day on the bus and driving was interesting lol, I'm sure my training partner will be pounding back the brews this weekend after how our trainer was with him today yikes it was a scene man, thankfully for myself but not at the same time , I have experience driving a transit bus and how they turn pivot points scanning at starts and stops and brake covering ect but the trainer is expecting a little bit more from me lol but I'm trying to put what I learned before when I got my bus license away and listen to how the TTC teaches and the way they want it done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
