T/Os and C/Rs SHOULD be qualified on all equipment on their respective divisions but years ago, that wasn’t the case. I recall in the mid 1960s when the only line on the IND that had R-10s was the A, M/M on the other lines were not qualified on them. One Sunday a M/M from Queens was working the “board job”at 168th St on his RDO. A board employee one who stays at a given location until a job opens any time during the tour and then he is assigned to that run which could be anywhere on the division. At the time the AA only ran R-1/9s but it happened that a M/M called off from an A run at 207th St. Since that board M/M wasn’t R-10 qualified, he couldn’t cover the run.Do C/R's and T/O's have an "operator's license" that has spaces for stickers for all the equipment that they are qualified to operate? And what kind of training does transit provide on new equipment? Do you think that there are some transit workers who are trained on all the new equipment, but would prefer to operate only the older cars, because they are not comfortable with interacting with the "fancier" equipment? |
