Mass Transit Openings

The Department posted 42 openings for Mass Transit. This is the result of graduating 42 or so recruits who were hired with a federal grant. Now the senior officers get to bid for the spot the Mass Transit funds went while the kids earn their stripes on the streets.

Welcome to midnights kids. You're going to love it here.

And not only midnights, but midnights in single-digit districts (Sorry, 001, 008 are not likely to be included!)

Finally, after 24 years on the job I think this is my chance to go to a Unit. Mass Transit is a prelude to retirement. I could do another 5 to 6 years downloading until retirement. 2 other classmates of mine from our academy days are also thinking about bidding.

Midnights my ass. Most of these recruits probably have connections and will wind up working days from the start unlike me who lacks juice and has been stuck on midnights in a often forgotten district for 10 years now. It's amazing to see all the 2 and 3 year wonders assigned to days and watch them look upon us with complete disdain in the mornings when we pass in the hallways.

Hey all u morons hate to tell you the people that are bidding are the guys with 15+ years on the job, not the "kids"-- so you guys that think I'm going to have a 1a, 2b furlo got another thing coming---my furlo and YOUR furlo is based on seniority!!! So I'm sure someone else is getting bumped...oh and by the way that includes watches, might get shafted this year but come nov. U can bet ur ass I'll be bidding to and getting my day spot!!!

I heard these new 42 that bid into mass transit are going to be getting fixed posts and standing on platforms.
I don't mind doing that a couple times a month as extra money but that would suck to be your regular duties.
Especially with that goofball Lemmer down there.

Upon your arrival to mass transit I expect you to have a clean pressed uniform and polished shoes. You will only need to be familar with general orders, I am fully entrenched in the memorization of all orders and consider myself an authority of department rules and regulations. I am a leader and a big brother to you lesser ranking officers. Feel free to use my expertise for advise and wisdom. XO Heads Heads Heads

This asshole wrote off-duty police for bogus tickets such as no front plates, no city stickers, or various parking violations just so he could make his quota. Our Lt. at Midway Airport Law called his Lt. and told him she would get a CR# on him if he didn't knock the bullshit off.

Not sure about that. If they were then why did they just hold another TOSPOT class?

But hey, even if they do, then we still have CTA and CHA. And if that happens, forget getting any if you have less than 20 years on.
