Not a surprise. Some don't feel like making the effort to learn a new situation

It's not about learning a new situation. It's the ergonomics for many people I've talked to. The location of the master controller handle on the 143 and 160 is a problem for many T/O's, especially if you are left-handed like me. Had the handle been placed in the center of the console as it is on the 142 rather than by the cab window on the T/O's right, I would not be so hesitant to work with the 160.

I figured it was in everyone's best interest to just leave on good terms.

You didn't have to really post your reseasons. That's sad the way you had to leave. Now I understand your feelings re: the old job.

I was just making a "Prisoner" reference out of my last post. Anyone remember the premise?

I'm not old enough to remember The Prisoner, but I've seen a couple of episodes. A spy gets kidnapped and moved to some fake town where people may or may not be other prisoners or connected to the people that kidnapped him. Or something like that.

Back in high school, they identified us with 9 digit numbers.
Them: What is your OSIS number?
Me: I AM NOT A NUMBER. I AM A FREE MAN
Them: Just give us your damn number

Very cool.

Tampa has a trolley line.

BTW I graduated from USF's College of Business Admin. in 2000

Then you know Tampa pretty well.

I'd like to get OBS to ride the trolley with me one Saturday. He's in the area, but seems busy. I don't feel like riding it alone, even though I'm pretty close to Ybor City.

There have been times I have thought of resigning from NYC transit, but have stuck with it and now I really love my job. Guess it takes time and I don't want to have regrets like you do LUCH.
With time jobs get better, especially at NYC transit.

Well, I guess the J and M. I liked the M until I kept getting stuck with a job that did a trip to Bay Parkway, and six shuttles to Myrtle. So the J might be my favorite.

Luch, I've met quite a number of co-workers who left the TA only to return later. One T/O who I "re-broke in" had his handles twenty years prior.

The fact that you left on good terms means that if you ever decide to return, the TA will welcome you back again without prejudice.

BTW, it's actually the other way around. It's all the E people who have been running downstairs to the J in droves. :)

Lots of delays still.

Jetblue flights in and out of JFK delayed by three hours. Flightstatus checks of flights 29 and 28 just told me so.

Wow. You guys up north must be having shitty weather. Jetblue flight 29 is at 13,000 ft. over Trenton, due to arrive at 5am in Tampa. That's very late.

Do you intend to return to the MTA if your family situation changes? Despite our frequent political disagreements, you sound like a good guy.

No. It won't change for a few years, so I won't be able to return. I have to follow the job through this website, or friends who tell me how I could not have weekends off if I stayed.

Thanks for the kind words.

Not all runways at all airports are equipped for ILS approaches. Regardless, foul weather will always cause cancellations.

I'd ban all flights if I could. There are thousands trapped in Tampa right now who can't get to NY or Boston. I say DRIVE.
