OPINION
BIVINS, Chief Judge.
Worker appeals the Workers’ Compensation Division’s (WCD) disposition order awarding him 75% permanent partial disability, contending the workers’ compensation judge (WCJ) erred in (1) failing to award worker total permanent disability; (2) determining 84% of pre-injury wages is comparable wages or salary; and (3) failing to require employer to pay worker’s attorney fees. Since worker suffered compensable injuries on February 7, 1987, the transient provisions of the Workmen’s Compensation Act apply. See NMSA 1978, §§ 52-1-1 to -69 (Orig.Pamp. & Cum.Supp. 1986)…
