Well well well Mr.Bobbo, aren't you just the greatest lineman since the first pole went in. Just because you don't have anything good to say about fall protection, and trashing all your brother lineman in the process doesn't make you the kind of guy I would ever want to work with, and I hope I will never have to. Of course you wouldn't be the first guy I refused to work with, your attitude just plain sucks. Here in Canada fall protection has been in place for 20 years. Yeah we cursed it for a while, we tried a few different rigs , but the bottom line is you can't beat it. You have about as much importance to the company as your finger stuck in a pail of water, remove it and see how much of a dent you left. We lineman have to adapt to many given circumstances, be it the job at hand , or the weather , whatever. This is one more challenge that you will eventually overcome, we did up here in the Great White North. Surely you with your superiority complex will too!
