Like you say Scotty.. Where else does a newly promoted Supv with 3 yrs exp on one sub on one vessel suddenly command similar pay to a 20 yr vet with experience on a dozen subs on a multitude of vessels in a huge variety of situations.. Free flyer ? Nope, Live boating ? Nope, Semi Sub ? nope, Barge ? Nope, DP ? Nope. Inshore Ops ? Nope, Deep water ? Nope, No vis ? Nope, Pipelay ? Nope. inspection/survey ? Nope. Any other type of sub ? Nope
You a Supervisor ? Nope !
Pay peanuts… Get monkeys ! Luckily for us the major airlines don’t have a similar recruitment policy. Can you see them putting several million dollars worth of assets into the hands of a guy without the relevant experience ? or paying all their guys the same regardless of exp or ability ?
