Actually, no. Civil service employees are paid by the public and everything they do needs to be (and in some cases is legally required to be) public. |

What harm? Except where a person intent on causing havoc could, knowing the schedule, pick up a train operators job. He could then abandon the train in a river tunnel at the height of rush hour or commit an act of terrorism. But I'm sure you know better. |

Decades ago the Transit Authority published small time-tables for each of the train lines.These time-tables would indicate which trains were running where, which trains short-turned where, which trains were laid-up at the ends of their runs. For those who were interested in the inner workings of the subways, and who could sit for a while closely reading the schedules - these time-tables were a gold mine of information. The current documents should be looked at in that manner. Mike |

You mean there is no security keeping unauthorized personnel out of yards where T/Os pick up trains?As for cases where a T/O picks up a train in a station, who needs a schedule for that? At end stations, the T/O puts on the brakes and walks away. The next T/O shows up a few minutes later. There must be security (and I'm not asking what that is) to keep any random person from taking hold of the train in the mean time. |

When an N or Q currently is destined for 57th in the AM, it leaves a little gap in local service north of 42nd. That N or Q could just as well have been routed onto the local track north of 34th and gone through the tunnel. They just didn't see the need to send it to Astoria because Astoria gets enough service from the trains they do send there. |

I think the key there is not having extra trains running through the tube that wasnt bf. This case the N's that always terminated at 57th st to lay up or put in at/from City Hall Yd will now go an extra couple stops to 96th st and do the same thing. Without dealing with interfering with 3 lines in the tube and bottlenecking Queensboro Plaza. |

Not trying to "pwn" anyone. There's also contrary logic - shareholders in a public corporation are not entitled to know the exact salary of each employee, after all. There are, of course, reasons to distinguish the public and private sectors, so these are not fully analogous - the only point I was making is that there can be more than one reasonable view on the issue.subfan |

What disturbs me about newspaper articles that publicize the salaries and overtime of various employees is that nowhere is it taken into account the fact that most of these employees are making these salaries due to the policies of the various government agencies who employ them. It is not a T/O’s fault if he/she is required to pick a run that works 9:59 and pays virtually 11 hours since those are the types of runs generated by the NYCTA schedule section. Even titles that were traditionally only 8 hour tours like Tw/Os and T/Ds are now expanded to cover 9 or 10 hours to avoid having to schedule an additional tour to cover necessary work. That is often not the fault of the individual employee but rather than TA that schedules the job. There are some instances of greedy employees who do grasp at every chance to make an extra buck that is not the situation in every case. |

No doubt you are correct in the majority of cases. That said, the egregious over time earnings of the minority of workers gaming the system do need to be pointed at. In CA the PUC has instituted hours of service limits which inherently control some of the abuses.Now, from an entirely different industry, a friend who was temping in the payroll dept at CBS back in the 60s told me that there were weeks bracketing space shots when Walter Cronkite's paycheck was the highest in the company--more than even Bill Paley who owned CBS. (Those of us of a certain age will remember thathe stayed on air for very extended times.) |

Several transit agencies I am familiar with maintain an extra board of workers who show up andare paid a partial dayfor being available and at the job site. I jhave no personal onus against a worker rolling out the service and getting paid. I, do, however believe that the agency should roster enough qualified workers that not outs account no employee should not occur. FWIW I received the SF Muni daily reports which detailed exactly those issues--not outs even by route in some cases though not run #--for several years as a member of Rescue Muni during a particularly ugly period of smoke and mirrors budget fakery. In that time period, mgmt maintained inadequate staffing in order to meet decreased budgets, addicted workers to regular overtime, and ran out of OT budget several months early in each fiscal year. Then they reprogrammed spare parts funds to get service on the street while stacking up OOS vehicles account no parts. As soon as the new fiscal year hit they were busy playing catch up on repairs. "Hell of a way to run a railroad"Bottom line. Fair pay for a fair day's work. The financial logic behind runninganhour or two of OT on most shifts is that the extra wages don't incur extra health care premiums (and I would suspect cheap enough increases in pension deductions though kicking the pension payouts down the road) that the bean counters think they are doing the right maneuvers. If you actually believe in an 8 hour day, this is of course crazy. I, of course think, that upper magmt should be docked for every not out run such that the CEO has a serious economic investmewnt in running a better railroad. |

I agree that ideally, a transit agency should maintain a roster of sufficient employees to avoid OT and/or dropped trips, but unfortunately that is not the reality and speaking at least for there NYCTA, the agency would rather pay overtime hours than hire extra personnel who as you indicated would increase costs due to additional fringe benefits being paid which OT would not incur. |

Why do you loathe people who voluntarily work overtime? Why should they be treated like they're doing something wrong. Agencies benefit financially from a workforce that voluntarily works overtime. |

Well, that is the problem isn't it? We whine about taxes because the overly rich have bought out of paying anywhere near enough so the working classes (there is NO real middle class anymore)are paying too much. Much of transit where I live is supported by sales tax--the most regressive tax. (and why do you think so many online places advertise no sales tax?) We need a return to the income tax rates of the Eisenhower era, a complete redo of healthcare, and total replacement of all of the pension plans with upgraded Soc Sec.Ah, well, that will all occur the day the full SAS opens, right? |

First, because at SF Muni some years back we had people claiming and being paid over 80 hours a week. Second, because, if you think a forty hour workweek is enough time to spend away from family, sleep, encouraging many workers to do 48 or more reduces the totality of full time jobs available. We have a "surplus" of potential workers already, encouraging more OT only exacerbates the issue.As to volunteering, in my life, since I basically set my own hours, yes I put in as many or few as it takes to meet my goals for the day/project. Third, I agree w/ the rules of both FRA and CA PUC as to a daily limit on hours of service and mandatory minimum rest between shifts. I want the workers to be safe--not nodding off because of sleep deficits. When I am overly tired, I don't think straight; thus I am a less proficient worker. |

I actually agree here. I can't stand the way newspapers publically villianize individual workers for making OT putting there salaries out there like that. I can speak for transit and say that the person making that huge salary from OT are out there busting their ass sacrificing free time with their families, missing holiday's, graduations, birthdays ccountless events to make that money and if you are on the front lines risk your life for every extra cent they make. |

Beats me. Accountant says "pay X" & I write the check. Transit expenses don't bother me as much as failed social programs but then, that's for OTChat, isn't it? |
