Posted by Randyo on Thu Sep 16 15:27:12 2010, in response to Re: P Train Will Run In October, posted by arnine on Thu Sep 16 10:44:22 2010. Please note, the department is called Operations Planning, There is NOT an "and" in the title of the department. That being said, I worked in the Operations Planning Dept for the last 11 years of my transit career and once the NYCTA started bringing in managers and other levels of planners who did not have the hands on experience that the rest of us had, the quality of planning in the agency deteriorated badly. What is even more unfortunate is that many of the managerial staff of the department were placed in then upper levels of management and even though they didn't have the necessary knowledge to make intelligent decisions, they nonetheless had the effrontery to tell those of us who had years of practical and progressively responsible operating experience that we didn't know what we were talking about. One non operating schedule manager even had the nerve to tell me that a particular service pattern never operated when I actually worked that particular service when I was a C/R. I fully believe that it is the non negotiable OBLIGATION of anyone who takes on such a management position to attain and maintain an exhaustively encyclopedic knowledge of the transit system that employs them and then and not until then they will be qualified to make the types of decisions that their station requires. |
