"I’m just curious how the deep sea unions are doing job-wise right now. I would like to hear from people currently rotary shipping with them about the availability of jobs. I’m interested in the deck officer unions but all unions should chime in so we can all benefit from the information." With the Gulf recovering and hiring again I would like to visit this post from Capt Phoenix and see how the Unions are doing ? ---

Agreed but with the economy rolling along and the majors hiring in the gulf I was curious if Deep Sea and Great Lakes were improving? Also curious about MSC as far as the unions guys are concerned ? ---
