FDNY Exam 2000

[mocon337]

You know what could possibly stink reading that notice? Say some of the "Priority" hires do make it all the way through processing, I can't even imagine how many actually will drop out of the academy upon realizing how tough it actually is, thus leaving the spots OC guys could've used vacant and useless.

[JerkAlert]

Thats how I feel right now. Being literally the guy they stopped at on the promo list and seeing some of the guys go in that had no business being there in the first place was pretty painful. And then when I hear guys dropping all week I get pretty ****ed. I could have had that spot. Oh well.

[infolet333]

"butt hurt"? What does that mean? It's not English.

Hey "almostthere", do you understand the problem? Do you understand why people don't like the position you're in? These guys are playing by the rules. They worked hard to achieve a high score and a place where they are assured a position with the FDNY, regardless of race, creed or gender. However, they have to take a backseat, they have to wait for people like you to be hired first. People who FAILED to achieved a high enough score to be hired over a decade ago. They have to wait for LESS qualified people who don't deserve to be here...

Well it appears that 293 priority hires can be put into the next class, but that's not to say that 293 will pass the hiring process. 10 years ago is a long time, anybody that is over 30 is doubtful to be healthy enough to pass the CPAT.

How many people are on the priority hire eligible list anyways??

I heard it was like 800 people? If somebody has more solid information, i'm sure all of us would appreciate knowing how many of these priority hire candidates are potentially ahead of us OC people.

Steve cassano putting priority hires in quotation marks... Classic

Sal Cassano* dude haha, not to be a d*ck haha. But yea I often wonder what his honest sentiments are about the whole thing. Btw I'm racking up likes like a 16 year old Facebook whore on here lately. I'm pretty proud of myself.

...anybody that is over 30 is doubtful to be healthy enough to pass the CPAT.

I've said it once before on this thread, but I have to say it again. Don't automatically discount someone who is over 30 like that. If you've been training consistently for this for years, you are more than capable. I know what you meant in terms of certain folk who may not have been, but the way it came out was kinda harsh for some on here to read!

There are dudes out there older than all of us that can smoke all of us for facks sake...

Yeah your right man, a lot of 30 yr olds are in great shape. I was just referring to the 30 year olds that have not been training, and living physically health lives over the years.

[mocon337]

I'm sure some of the 40/50+ year old instructors at The Rock could sh*t on most of us haha.

Wondering the same thing man. I hope he gags every time he has to sign those diversity notices like the way I gag reading them.

How much candidates do they process at a
Time for each class ????... Does that number stays the same or they increase it or decrease it according to how many ppl actually graduate the academy ??? "I hope I made sense"

[BrooklynBorn]

Since the FDNY is being forced to "Represent the community it serves" it should hire a few hundred hipsters, since they make up a significant percentage of the gentrified neighborhoods. I never see any hipster fire fighters.

The general consensus of this thread is that the emails to start the hiring process were sent out to those who scored up to 103 list number 733.

It's an assumption that they are calling in block numbers and list numbers will be used for tie-brakers for entering into the academy.

Stats worth noting:

Score List # Number of Candidates with the same score
102 734 - 1346 612
101 1347 - 2219 872
100 2220 - 3338 1118
99 3339 - 4804 1467
98 4805 - 6521 1716
97 6522 - 8717 2195

Conclusion: The lower you score the more candidates have the same score
Hypothesis: List numbers will be reached using the Block numbers method only in the beginning. But a list number cutoff will be used to reach candidates eventually.

QUESTION: Did the 4 year life of the list officially start 1/31/13?

How many of you guys think this list is going to reach far ???

[MikeStefano]

I receive dozens of phone calls every month from firefighter hopefuls, mostly young men and women training for the upcoming FDNY physical (CPAT). Invariably, there is one question that never goes unasked. When should I start preparing for CPAT? But with all the controversy over list 2000, it can easily knock you off your workout regimen.

That definitely sounds accurate to me. With the Dept Orders, though, I can't imagine nearly that many making it into the summer class...

If the ruling dictates that the "priority hires" quota has to be used even when processing EMS promos the max # of them that could make the academy would be 192. That would leave 128 spots open for some combo of promos/OC.

I will pass on cpat orientations and preps this time around. I rather skip the nonsense, just send me straight to the hard stuff......The psychological

Yeah that's what I come up with as well. Thinking that there are at least 100 Promos left, right? If they break the top 100 on the OC to fill the class I'll be surprised. Going to be an interesting class - lots of guys with EMS time, old priority hire guys, and a few dozen veterans/legacy guys and girls. Jeez...

It's tougher to figure out the EMS side but yea my guess would be about 100 spots go to them to exhaust their list. Just my opinion but I doubt the priority hires max out their 192 but they could end up taking 125-150 spots leaving not much left for OC. Gotta keep praying the 2nd circuit court of appeals steps in and makes some changes.

[River6019]

Just some stats I was thinking about if the priority clowns end up sneaking in above us.

Only about 650 actually passed the 2000 retake correct? That is the max number they can draw from to get 293.

Historically the hiring to list number ratio for the OC is 1:4.

I'm an optimist but you have to assume that ratio bumps up a bit considering the group they are drawing from and the years that have passed. I'm thinking 1:6 would be generous for them.

So ~650/6, is about 108 guys from the priority list slipping in.

Obviously the 2nd circuit court needs to get off its ***** and rule already since it'll be too late to take the jobs back from the priority clowns come summer.
