Posted by randyo on Mon Sep 12 13:52:50 2011, in response to Re: Question - Dyre Avenue Line, posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Mon Sep 12 07:46:18 2011. The reason for that was that when the Fulton St el shut down, it was intended to allot a certain number of runs to displaced BMT crews. When the IRT personnel heard about this, they packed the TWU meetings and since the IRT had the largest proportion of operating personnel, a volte was taken that runs on the Rockaway Division be allotted according to the number of crews on the 3 respective divisions. Since the IRT had the greatest number, IRTt crews were alloted the most Rockaway runs, the BMT the second and the iND last which pretty much negated the TA's original intent. This situation lasted until the Chrystie mergers of 1967 when the BMT and IND became one B Division and the IRT then got locked out. Tower operators were also included in the mix and that allotment of Tw/Os among the 3 divisions lasted until sometime after it ceased for M/M and C/Rs. Supervision on the other hand was strictly IND. |
