I've flown a few patrols as an observer back in the 90's for NewEngland Power. You are absolutly correct about it saving the utility big $ over traditional live line maintiance. I was taking a Swag and I wonder if the pay scale at Air2 matches what your pulling down. THanks for giving me your numbers Barehander. So for all of you who think you're all that. Our double time rate is $100.06 per hour.that's marching or fighting. No one would do the work under these conditions so they decided to give us a 5% raise, year round to entice the crews to do the work, mind you, it is all voluntary.Ī helicopter, by nature is like a Bumble bee, shouldn't be able to fly! I also say that it is 100,000 bolts, ready to fly apart at any moment.When you put it into a wire environment, it is the ultimate danger situation.Īfter saying all that, it's very mundane, and very uneventful doing this. That equals out to about $35 a day before taxes, and after taxes.about $18.for doing this procedure that saves a company millions.! What came out in the end ( a sellout by the Union ) was 10% for the day and no insurance policy. The original negotiations were this.double time all day, a 1 million dollar insurance policy. In California, there are only about 100 people trained to do this. I'm not sure what Air2 pays, but this is our pay and the story behind it. There are very few Lineman, and very few pilots, who actually do this for a living. None of that crap above has anything to do with this.
Individuals, except pilots, who are participating in limited control or low-level flights. Hazard pay is not authorized for situations such as flying passengers from a work center to a location to fix equipment and when there are no adverse conditions that threaten or severely limit the aircraft.Įlectric power generation, transmission, and distribution $25.90 If the flight is undertaken under unusual and adverse conditions which threaten or severely limit control of the aircraft, then hazard pay is warranted. The hazard pay is related to the use of the aircraft not the work of the occupants. It looks like the Feds will give you 25% bonus for hazzard pay: Good health, education, and vacation benefits are common in the occupation. For these workers, union contracts set wage rates, wage increases, and the time needed to advance from one job level to the next. Many line installers and repairers belong to unions, principally the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and the Utility Workers Union of America. Median hourly earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of electrical power-line installers and repairers in May 2006 are shown below:Įlectric power generation, transmission, and distribution $25.90 The lowest 10 percent earned less than $13.96, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $34.20. The middle 50 percent earned between $18.73 and $28.90. Median hourly earnings for electrical power-line installers and repairers were $24.41 in May 2006. Here is where I get my numbers from Pedro.Įarnings for line installers and repairers are higher than those in most other occupations that do not require postsecondary education. Estimate 26*1.25 is $32.5 per hour or it could go as high as $40. The jack booted managment pricks will come back at you saying flying is safer than climbing or traveling in a skidder bucket. 25% hazzard pay bonus is only payable when the helo is flying so slow it can not autorotate down. Does anyone have any idea what the pay is for that type of work? Is it compareable to a distribution lineman pay ($32-$34hr) or are you compensated for the risk of being in a chopper? Been thinking about applying for an aerial lineman position at AIR2.
