    Good thing they have cones out closing down one of the lanes on that road. I’d have stuff running down my pants legs and getting all over peoples’ windshields!

      For what that pays I will stick to what I am doing now


      But if I had to choose between that and climbing a radio tower I would be hanging off that bird and taking my chances with the electricity

          I think I would be more likely to do something like that for a living as opposed to climbing to the top of a TV/Radio tower.

          Used to have to climb the mast, to replace bulbs, inspect connections,
          and maintenance...………. Some kinda scary...……..
          A two degree ship roll...…. is about 30 degrees up there...……….

            My uncle worked for the power company in New Mexico, his claim to fame is working 1,000,000 volts bare handed. I did some electrical growing up in the summers, I'm glad I did no regrets.

              I think google might be off on this one. Decent journeyman commercial electrician makes that.

                This seems a little more likely:
                $195,000
                / Year
                The average Aerial Lineman salary in USA is $195,000 per year or $100 per hour. Entry level positions start at $28,275 per year while most experienced workers make up to $195,000 per year.

                  I would be cool with hanging out of the helicopter but I don’t even like plugging the **** dryer in so the combination of the two. No thank you! **** sure not for 68k

                        For that type of pay, I would would show up for that job.

                            Most helicopter lineman make 250k plus. They are in demand and can work whenever. They call the shots. I have worked with a few lineman thru the years that tried their hand in it. Regular lineman are making 140k to 250k a year depending where you are in the country.
