Does anyone know when the DTs are merging into AFO? I hate to see this because we will be treated like Wiretechs.

You took a hard test and your reward is thst you get to go be a wire tech every day.
Don’t knock us digital techs. We took a hard test to get this job. Don’t be jealous losers!
BFS is just the bottom scrub
@c6 If you have ask you need not apply.
@ca Uhh not where I live.
Umm, DTs have been glorified, higher paid wire techs for about 6 years now. There are DTs that can barely spell ASE, couldn’t run a span line to save their life, have no clue what an Intelliport or OCUDP is, couldn’t tell you the difference between a B channel and a D channel & have never set foot inside a psap, but they’re well versed in $50 a month no contract non designed uverse.
What does a Digital tech actually do? Do you need a degree to be a Digital Tech?
With the new technology it should be possible if the techs profiles are set up correctly. If a tech can be dispatched on a job they are qualified for why not. Don’t see the necessity of numerous dispatch systems, job titles, etc. Lot of info to get right though. Perhaps AI at some point can take that info down to a granular enough level so that can happen efficiently.
@OP I have a feeling they are working toward combining wire techs and digital techs into one title.
