is this as an apprentice lineman??
I just got into FE's assoc. program and was wondering how the order goes as far as lineman are concerned. I know there are 1st 2nd and 3rd class lineman but what does it all mean. Also what would I be considered as when I finish the 2 years of training, and what can I expect to make after a couple years on the job.Thanks in advance for your help (I know you all hate FE you don't have to tell me but it's a free scholarship )

Hopefully you can reign in the attitude and make it through an apprenticeship.
Believe it or not the man was giving some sound advice that you should thank him for..

yeah there are steps. my company hired a bunch 6 years ago told them they were app. lineman and they diddn't have a clue about nothin. and said when do i do hot work. they couldn't even frame a pole. so learn ground work first and then the rest will come.
If you wanna take the time to tell me that there are steps but won't tell me what they are why are you posting a reply. As you can see in my first post I politely asked what the steps are. This is not a job site, it's a forum for people to ask questions and get help. Not get blasted by some old codger that thinks he is to good to give me a answer. Who would want to sit around and read about your backwards ass political beliefs and whining about your union. Looks like one big pissing contest if you ask me. That's fine fu(k your useless forum I will go somewhere else .
If you cant take this your in real trouble they are not going to give a answer on the job either and most certainly not going to put up with you. Once they write you off , then what they are the ones who are supposed to teach you they can make your life hell or gravey choice is yours. if you want to know the steps for your company are (companys are all different ) call your union. First energey is a crap company so expect the worst when the guys hate where they work they arent as willing to help the company and train people just for the company they will train guys becuase they want to see an app do well . Hope your additude changes!
