OK JOHN BELLAMY, i'm taking your suggestion
and i'm looking into POWER linework!
here's the deal, for those of you in this TEXAS part of the Country:
I'm currently a Lineman/Splicer on the Construction side for AT&T(oldMABELL)
I can climb,I'm not the typical Phonie ,
that sits in his Van and reads the Paper!
I CLIMB EVERYDAY! and I love it! Ladder lineman my ass! I'd rather work off of my Hooks if I can!I dont do the Typical phone installation and hang a drop from a Pole to a customers house horseshit! I splice the big copper cables
and also do manhole and Vault work so I'm trained in that aspect aswell. I'll even admit that I'm trained on the BUCKSQUEEZE!:D:o
it's company policy. free climbing is no go in the Bell System nowadays!
I have previous Electrical Expeirience with high Voltage from My HVAC days prior to Linework. I'm moving out to Houston @ the end of August.
I have tried to go about the Whole Transfer system to stay in the Company, but due to senority and other factors beyond my Control, it doesn't look like i can stay in the company and move down there and stay in linework!
But I love linework and so the call to step up to Power linework and run with the BIG BOYS is calling my name.
I need names of the Co-ops and power companys down there. union and non union. who's worth a shit and who isn't. which crews still belive in Brotherhood and which ones dont.
is there a way I can get in as a 2nd year apprentice?
the whole reason I'm moving down there is because CA is Goddamn Expensive and even on my Salary I have no choice but to leave due to financial hardship. so starting out as an Ass in the grass Apprentice like i'm freshout of highschool would be another Financial hardship.
I'm a Married man and have 3 boys. Not afraid of hard work or storm duty.
hell I lean out on a Crossarm farther out then some of these Phonies been away from Home!:D
anyone with some Info and Contacts, please hit me up!
I'm as serious about this as a Heart Attack!
