  1. I drove past that house the other day and man, it's RIGHT under Rt. 9. I bet everyone loved the day the built that overhead.
  2. Clearly no one got the memo. Money heals all wounds and makes every emotional problem go away.
  3. I'm pretty sure that I read a really low response time in the paper. SOmething like 3:30 from the time the 911 call was made. That's pretty quick in my mind....... Who doesn't feel for a guy who lost his family? It's incredibly tragic, but who are we blaming here? The FDNY? Perhaps the other parties are a bit responsible, but certainly not to the tune of 100 million!
  4. Can you elaborate a little bit?
  5. Training isn't done with the dept's usual trucks? Aren't those guys o.o.s. while training anyway or is this for addtional training outside regular work hours while allowing the regular crews to keep in service?
  6. The engineer operates the train, but the conductor is by definition, in charge. I'm sure its in their contracts too.
  7. I'm sure they do need to take a beating, but if the Escape Hybrid is holding up well as a Taxi, then perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad option.
  8. Becuase the 2nd ave line will carry far more people on a daily basis. HOWEVER, a spur to the meadow lands is under construction.
  9. Doesn't the county have a weighted physical like Yonkers? If they go to a CPAT, then won't your written score be the only deciding factor? Has the county physical been the same over the years? Hose drag, doughnut lift, stair climb and pull down?
