2023 Engineer to Switch to AMO from MEBA

I have. It looks like pay hinges on OT/PT. So average pay could vary a lot depending on ship, schedule, assholes cutting otherwise routine OT/PT. So I’m asking, in people’s average experience, what is the average pay like at MEBA?

Do companies/captains/chiefs cut OT/PT as punishment or to save money or to break in their knee pads?

Why are so many MEBA folks so secretive about their contracts which they also claim are so open for everybody to see?

Sometimes it feels like a cult. “No I can’t tell you, come see for yourself”. “No I can’t tell you, you’ll have to figure it out once you get to your ship”. “Just take a job, see what happens”. “Good contract? Of course it’s a good contract, you can take it right now if you want”.
