[QUOTE=kfj;69771]So how about that ATB vs ship manning debate[/QUOTE]
An ATB is a grossly undermanned unit,
& as far as the shipping industry goes, such as SIU & MEBA has manning requirements down to a science now.
but for me personally,
I hate to be in a sardined, & cramped, work place, bumping into my shipmates, so 4 to a room is definitely out of the question for me.
