When they first called, he said if all my test pass I would be going to redi sometime in mid January. My status on CSX website was changed to start date pending. I guess I got the job, if someone knows something different let me know. I hope my date doesn't get push up. It would be nice to do my 22 weeks training in the warm months.

Did you receive a email or phone call when your status changed?

Neither, I log on to thier website and went to my jobpage there is was.

Did anyone make the florence s.c pool.

Some of you have said your status has changed from completed to pending start date. How long after your physical and strength test did it change? Its only been a week but the waiting is brutal !

Status just changed from "completed" to "ready to hire" for Conductor out of N.Baltimore Ohio. So I'm pretty stoked, now just waiting on a report date. Anyone out there from N.Baltimore going to Redi? I know I was 1 of 4 hired out of there out of about 43 people who applied. So I feel kind of lucky,

Hi Everyone, First time posting! I applied for Freight Conductor in Selkirk on November 23rd. My status is "application being reviewed " It has been that way for a bit now? I also noticed that the posting was expired on Dec. 3rd then reposted the following Monday? Now it looks like it will go until Dec. 20th. I read on an earlier post that this means they may not have had enough applicants or not enough passed the assessments?? I guess I am still ok with my submission because it is still valid for the position it says?? If anyone can give me some info on this I would greatly appreciate it thank you. I really hope to get a chance to interview!! Just waiting and hoping to get a nice Christmas gift saying that I was selected!!! Would be nice....

If its still being reviewed I would say its still on "someones desk", so just continue being patient

It's tough to do but yes patients is the way to go theres nothing else you can do. I put in for conductor in Philly back in the beginning of Nov and my status is still being reviewed. Good luck!!!

Just scheduled my strength test and physical. Almost there!!!

Thank you for the replies doc69 and gunmetal!! I will just have to be patient like ya said!! I'm hanging in there...Oh yes, so its not a bad thing either when they reposted the same job after it was expired once already?

Hey I also wanted to say good luck to you too Doc69 for that position in Philly!!!

Good luck with that whole conductor gig, they still got oodles on the bench, and a bunch switching crafts like mad. The only way you are gonna work a decent steady job after OJT is if all the old heads who wont give it up die, which most are to pissy to do any way.

That's a heck of a thing to say wishing for people to die. Mabey you need to stay on CSX-sucks.com with the rest of the whiners. The problem with the whiners they want everything now. That oldhead might not be old enough to retire. They might look old then again so will you some day. I'm sure when you were training it was well known that furloughs happen in the railroad industry. It's been that way forever. If people can't handle it they quit find another job mabey you should consider that option.

Coen77- thanks for your insight on this board.would you please explain the whole furlough situation,is it the same as a layoff are you still being paid,are you called back? can you claim unemployment ? thanks in advance

@Dirtydave. For a new hire trackworker you seem to know quite a bit about conductors. How about you keep your mouth shut and answer trackworker questions when asked? Leave the rest to people who know, not people who think they know.
