You guys and all your “cheap labor” comments.
Do you know what a SIU Apprentice makes? They can make OT which helps, but their day rate is about the same as a cadet. Nobody’s complaining about them.
Cheap labor? You make it sound like the American fleet couldn’t possibly survive without the cadets and their ability to…stand a watch? Chip and paint? Scrub toilets? Just what is it that the cadets contribute to the maintenance and running of a vessel that make them so key to the operation?
