They have been since I’ve been aware of scheduling procedures at least on the NYCTS. I believe CTA doesn’t group runs by classification but puts all the day off combinations in one big pool within the respective districts. NYCTA groups runs 2 ways, by district and by classification. Train crews pick within districts and can in the event S/S RDOs are unavailable, the weekend pieces from any line within the district can be added to the run to complete the 5 day work week. In the case of RDO relief runs, it could be possible for an employee to have a run on a different line every day as long as the lines are within the district. As far as classification id concerned, the runs are broken down by classification as to AM, PM or midnight. Runs reporting between 2200 hrs and 0359 are considered midnight runs. Runs reporting between 0400 and 1159 are considered AM runs and runs reporting between 1200 and 2159 are considered PM runs. Weekend pieces and other pieces that are part of RDO relief runs can only be put together within the appropriate time classification thus if an employee has an AM run during the week, he/she can only pick an AM run on the weekend assemble the full work week. In places like Chicago that don’t group runs by time classification, employees can combine AM or PM runs as long as there is sufficient rest time between them. Personally, I feel that the NYCTA system is fairer since under the CTA setup, it is theoretically possible for all the S/S off combinations to be picked by the senior AM employees leaving midnight and PM employees wit only weekdays off. In NY an employee who can’t pick weekends off on am AM run van usually get a weekend off by picking a late midnight or early PM run rather than having the senior AM employees hog all the weekends off. Also while NYCTA employees can pick their days off independently of the run and assemble RDO reliefs from available weekday pieces, many transit properties including NYCTA Bus have packaged runs in which the days off are constant for each run and in order to change RDOs employees have to pick different rune. RDO reliefs under that system are also packaged rather than left to the discretion of the individual employee. |
