hiw about we pay the soldiers of our questionably deserving country the wages of the senators and Congress men and women and in turn have the politicians of the United States of America work for the federal minimum wage how about that? it sounds more than fair to me hell i cant for the life of me understand why the people who are in care of our countrys government aren't getting paid the same wage they say we need to get paid

That’s more than a lineman. I was a lineman for Verizon for 28 years. Replacing telephone poles hanging cable. Took the isp last year. Started to affect me mentally and physically. Started to get afraid of heights and the danger part of job. Made good money. Between 110000 to 180000. That’s with some overtime. Had pension 401k good medical. Even though over the years. Holy shit use to pay zero. Never paid attn to that shit until retired. Pay 12500 a year for me and wife. Only 57 years got to wait for Medicare and 62 years of age to really take advantage of

I made it my pinnacle by age 50, $90,000/month. I've managed to keep that pretty steady for the last 15 years, some years more labor, less material costs but pretty consistent. Earned a little over $43 million gross income in 38 years. So, don't go thinking I'm super rich. I have reinvested and provided training for my 3 man staff. I rely on safety investments to keep the jobs rolling. But, payroll is maximum $140,000/year, materials about $100,000-$150,000. Insurance around $18,000. Tax deductible expenses phones, power, fuel, etc. $25,000. There's money to be made if you have a technical, or trade skill but both and inventiveness, innovation and marketing can really connect the dots. Especially if it's centered on INTEGRITY! And I don't have to worry about hanging on to the Helicopter! Just imagine how much the company he works for makes for his time!?

Not really an hourly position. It boils down to how much experience and seniority (time at that employer. But they definitely make great income. But never forget the danger and training they must go through. Thanks to all the linemen in our country, they keep the lights on for ya.

A high-power electric lineman hanging from a helicopter typically makes between $55 and $62+ per hour, with some sources indicating higher earnings for top earners or specific regions. The exact hourly rate depends on factors like experience, location, and the specific company or contractor. Helicopter work can also come with additional pay for certain tasks, like working at significant heights.

I was about to say hell no would I do that, but for $30,000 a month I just changed my mind. Im a truck driver and the fleet supervisor and Im a top earner but on workers comp for a broken back. I won't be able to bounce around over the dirt haul roads delivering to the Nevada gold mines anymore so was trying to think of a new career to go to school for. I think you guys that are linemen just gave me a good idea to research for vocational rehab training. So thank you.😅😅😂😂😂
