Did you ever call CA/NV jatc and tell then what was happening? It might be to late now but you might be able to get into a new class if what you said was happening with the last instructors. I just...

I was off by a week, he finished guys third day today. They did split guys up by climbing experience and have made guys free climb as high as a 65 footer without having a climbing harness on. They...
I just have a pair of slip over chore boats (sold rubber, prefer the ones with buckles, but have used the solid yellow ones also). I buy a pair in the spring for muddy conditions then and in the...
Lol, I know all to well what you mean about who was there first...
Yea, it sounded like a one man crew missed what was really wrong. Just curious, was it mostly businesses of homes? If it were a decent amount of homes I would guess there was also a lack of...
Thank you for finally sharing a little info with the brothers of your trade. Divided we fall....
I have not heard back from my lineman that is a class instructor (not a climbing school...
Not sure how it was determined the can was bad in the first place but I think some of the blame should go there. When I was at the coop the two man call out crew would go find the problem and then...
You really have to have a financial sense to yourself to not waste the big money while making it. I really think only about a quarter of the guys I work with can live on 40 hours a week because they...
Ok, the school I found out about being close down was in la and not linked to the jatc and was actually shut shewn about a year ago, so it was not the school you went to. I would still like more info...
I am working 6 10s in Vegas which comes out to just over $4600 a week. Crazy thing is I am somewhat thinking about leaving for a 7 13 gig (about 7800 a week)
So I did some checking and have found out a little info on this subject.
The way to early info I an gathering is that there was a climbing school in the CA/NV area that had been shut down for...
Well from looking through your past posts it is either CA/NV it the great southwest. No clue on which one, when you were in the climbing school, or any real info can be gathered from your past...
I know my analogy is not at all related and dumb, that was the point of if. There are union hands that can do something about what you at claiming. Myself and now another have asked for which one...
All the JATCs have different length climbing schools, most are one or two Weeks long
I know jatcs require a certain level of math. It would not hurt to brush up on that area. Some utilities Erroll have you do timed simple math tests (tests that an average person would not be able...
I am a journeyman lineman and proud member of the IBEW, you can sling crap however you want but if you are not willing to share which JATC this is (send me a message if you don't want to share it...
I think it is time to share which JATC program is supposedly doing this. I know the instructors in mountain states, my last groundsman just went through the great southwest climbing school, I have a...
I would go out on a limb and guess that the trap union hands ( been on the road 6 years and worked in 10 states with 6 different companies, and many many different guys) have a larger network of...
This is one of the best posts I have ever read on this forum.
I personally do not remove anything from old copper/copperweld (4a, 6a...). I started out at a coop and heard/witnessed how bad that style of wire becomes over time, especially at connectors.
I have actually seen it a few times out here in Cali. I have seen an entire trap with transformers and all in Yosemite national park. I have some pics of it someplace but not sure where...
It is pretty fun, beats the crap out of hiking into a tower then climbing it. Best bet it's to get on a big high line job going through some mountains where there is not very good access. It...
I only know about 2 hands that worked union that went nonunion, but they ended up coming back.
I know about 50 union hands that started out nonunion.
As far as contractor to utility from my my...
This is such a loaded question to ask because there are tons of variables that go into it. To get a better comparison you should be asking a few other questions such as union or non union, location,...
Are you already in the jatc? You said only 4500 more hours but also say if you get into cal nv jatc... Not sure I am following what you are saying. I bought my first 5th wheel as a 3rd step, but...
