I guess it is a matter of how you were trained and what you are used to. We have been gloving 13.2 phase to phase for about 25+ yrs now. We started when I was a apprentice and that is what I was taught. I never really worked sticks too much beyond a switch stick or shotgun. I feel it is safe if proper work practices and safety procedures are followed.
We do not glove anything over 4 kv from the pole. I personally have never used a baker board, but if we were to glove from the pole that is what we would use to do it. I actually think there would be an outage to do the work before we would go through the hassle.
Thats what is nice about this site, we get to hear what everyone does outside our world. I guess that is what is nice about traveling.
