[tavman121]

a guy i used to work with does this and he told me get 1,000 a day for doing stuff like this but its not all year long.

[dirtydawg47]

Top wires a "sky wire" its basically just there for lightning strikes, some of them have fiber optic cable inside of them.. no neutrals on towers just your 3 phases

[sharris3]

@dirtydawg47 a man who knows his powerlines i like this comment

[snedie69er]

And also, is one side "Positive" and the other "Neutral" ?

[snedie69er]

[nickjebac]

[TheMarz27]

[tonypawn100]

Jabba has left The Hut.

[ericflaherty]

is this PWU or CUSW?

[plumber97]

Give me a break Linemen make almost twice as much as helicopter pilots I have friends who are linemen and I am a pilot so we've compared notes on this subject.

[Madriver10]

@plumber97 Actually, if your a pilot for another helicopter company then yes, the lineman probably do make more money than you, but if you were a pilot for ontario hydro, you would be making about 25% more.

[REV550FAN]

im a lineman..our pilots make more, they should as the experience they need is crazy, a lineman can make well over 100 grand with a bunch of OT, but i know our pilots hit the 150 mark..

[SuperKevrock]

They use the helo's whenever the location is not accessible by roads, and ironically the pilot gets paid more than the linemen.

[BLSNick]

@SuperKevrock no they dont

[REV550FAN]

pilots will make alot more then the lineman will, unless the lineman getheavy into the OT..

[REV550FAN]

pilots for hydro one make very good coin for hydro one..$150G a year ish..they need alot of time behind the stick to get on..need at least 5000 long line hours alone..

[WeHaveABlackhawkDown]

very crazy job! congrats to whoever does this cause i wouldnt! it must be good pay or something

[STOMPY713]

hay people have bills to pay n mouths to feed lol that shit sick

[rapisa]

[bordersoldier]

[maxdowns]

[bordersoldier]

@maxdowns oh ok BIG GUY tell me then what do you do for a living

[mhazelto79]

Go to The closest IBEW union hall and get an aplication for the apprenticeship.After 4 years you could become a journeyman lineman.

[harrison359]

[gregjockca1001]

[timmytoolman2000]

[Hastrup081290]

Good job!! :-)

[timmytoolman2000]

definantly insulator testing... the long yellow bag the one guy has is the one with the sticks.... there just getting back on the air stairs at the sky-wire after finishing

[330blackbeemer]

sounds like you know what this is all about. These guys gotta make good money, any idea their pay?

[XyleJKH]

yeah i do, 34.60/hr

[samuraifugitivo]

Man, little money for the risk, not every mortal would accept to do this!, unfair, and escort earns twice for half an hour, hahahaha, bitches!.

[XyleJKH]

little money?

whta are you talking about?

we make GOOD Money

and we dont have to worry about geting herpes like your little escort service likely does

[samuraifugitivo]

Just kidding man!, i hate paid sex!, besides, if you really work as lineman, shit, you got balls!, i cant even go to my roof and repair the satellite dish.

[888895]

$20-$60 hr

[XyleJKH]

it actually just went up

but its a good job

[ugod519]

@330blackbeemer

$38/hour + for Power Linesman in Ontario (estimate I just saw a posted today for that amount) its $40+ in SK here.

[snowbiker111]

and the witchita lineman.... is still on the line....

[XyleJKH]

insulator testing ? you sure thats what they were doing? then again im just a cusw lineman so i really dont know what you guys would be doing

[330blackbeemer]

wasn't us guys it was ontario hydro. THEY would scale the tower to all points where the wires are attached, run a pole with a loop on it top to bottom of the "INSULATOR?". I would respect your comments cusw lineman

[XyleJKH]

i was more being sarcastic. Insulator testing is used with sticks and wouldnt really be practical using a helicopter. If anything they are just repairing the bonds to the towers on the shield wire which were burned off from lightning strikes.

i know its hydro one linemen. I am a hydro one linemen as well doing tower work all the time, but we scale the towers usually. Cusw is just our union not as good as the PWU. However they could be insulator testing. Wonder why they dont just use a bronto

[Abyssinian23]

@XyleJKH

Hydro ONe ?

[timmytoolman2000]

insulator testing off the air stairs... pretty sweet

[notar1]

wow!!! how in the heck did I miss video ? wow great footage!!!
