Transmission line workers are even higher paid. Especially those willing to be dropped from a helicopter over a high voltage transmission line.

Reminds me of the Glen Campbell Song: “Wichita Lineman”. But the question then becomes — How long will their careers be? Would it not be the same as an athlete? Can you still be doing the same job after you’re 50?

Those guys are nuts.

I was never a tech, but I learned how to climb a pole because i managed them. Climbing a telephone pole was as high off the ground I ever wanted to get.

The “hum” of the power lines was a real turnoff to me. LOL.
