Bill,
While I do agree that implementing the above will help, I don't
really believe that it will change much in the way of HP
compensation. One response to your recommendation from HPS could very
well be, that we have a certification program, and that is the venue
HPs should take. Perhaps the way to proceed is to define the
standards you suggest in an ANSI Standard, that could be in N13 for
example. There is already ANSI 8.1 and 3.1 that addresses power
reactor RPM and ANSI qualified technicians. That is the way I believe
that we address this. However, I still don't think that is going to
change anything in the way of compensation. There are less jobs out
there and there are a number of HPs looking for work. It is simply a
supply and demand. When employers start to hire again, the
compensation will increase. Until that is the case, there will be
less opportunities.
