Yea the way they worded it makes it sound like its only for the courts use in the lawsuit and in no way will effect getting hired because it is in fact illegal. Whatever. This judge is out of his mind.

Thats cool. Sign me up! On a side note, came across these while doing a search. haha.

Yea, there was a delay do to the fact that the Vulcans felt the exam fee of $54 was too much. The judge ordered the fee be the same as the 2007 exam at $30. Also the judge has mandated that all applicants MUST fill in their race on the demographic card or their exam won't be valid. This stuff makes me sick to my stomach. Anyway, the filing will open this week or next per the court documents released yesterday and today.

Court documents released last week stated that the FDNY would open their firefighter test for filing on July 5th 2011. The vulcans insisted that a test fee of $54 was way too much so the filing date is postponed a week. Look for the filing period to open next week for FDNY firefighter unless there is another court delay. Exam 6019 from 2007 is still alive and waiting for the appeals process but it is highly unlikely they will ever use it. If you took exam 6019 from 2007 and are now too old to take this exam (max 29 years old) you can still take it up to age 35. Goodluck, 20 houses are staying open, they keep losing guys to retirement every day, and haven't hired since 2008.

I like how they say its been built already???? Nice idea though. Hope it goes through.

Tradition definitley hinders the progression of the services needed. 1000%. I won't elaborate because I just don't want to get started on this one.

10000% YES! Do you have fire chiefs that don't have FF1? Nope. There are VAC's out there though that have officers that aren't trained EMT's. If its purely an admin position then whatever but a line officer should definitely be trained.

Anyone not get em?

Yep

As someone who had an academy date and got screwed by those racists called the vulcans I have some info. The city is working on a new test that will be ready for filing no earlier than November of 2011 but realistically probably later. If all goes flawlessly the first proby class would be graduating late summer to early fall of 2012! How the city that is already -300 under headcount can wait that long is beyond me. At that point they will be -1000 under if they dont make serious cuts. The appeal for list 6019 is in the works now.

Any update on any Westchester police academy dates and if so what list number they're up to. Thanks.

Just as anyone can read it, anyone can post too. It's a thing called freedom of speech. Been around a while. Sorry you're offended.

p.s. I myself am an Iraq war vet and I can't imagine the things I would do to them if they ever showed up to one of my buddies funerals. That goes without saying.

Of course I'm not serious. That would put me in the same category as those crazy @holes. Are you seriously asking if I'm serious because if you are you have no business asking stupid questions.

These people should all be locked inside their beloved church while it is set on fire.

This is the biggest joke I've ever heard!!!!! Now people like me who did well on the test and worked hard to get through the process are going to be put on hold so they can hire people who couldn't hack it the first time around and are now only getting hired do to the color of their skin. And this decision isn't racist? Heres to every single person on list 6019 getting a lawyer. http://www.asiaone.c...122-193638.html http://www.nydailyne...y_for_bias.html

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! No offense but blue lights are near useless anyway. lol. For the lights??? hahahahahahaha.

If you are in decent shape you'll be ok. My partner took it a month ago without preparing for it and passed no problem but hes in good shape. I would say, make sure you can run 1.5 miles around 12:30 or less and you should be ok. Granted I have never taken it but I have done police agilities, mlitary agilities, and the CPAT. Good luck.

Now that they have a new Commissioner I will hope to see if the city sets some academy dates.

My girlfriend was told to evacuate a building and stay in the car. She says theres like 15-25 police cars outside and the cops ran inside. Found out it was a stabbing - posted by EMSer.

This is the whole problem with EMS all together. It's a business not a civil service so it will always be about the $$$$$. Thats why the pay is low the benefits lower and the penny pinching high. The bosses have to make those Lexus payments ya know.

THe Westchester County PD helicopter could very well do the job. The state police helicopter is already doing it. It's all about the $$$$$$$.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!

You beat me to this one. I was going to post something like this yesterday. Yea, Medevac for a location 10 minutes from the trauma center....
