With the new pay template scheme there is a flat rate for eng/mate in training . It is higher than that now. The 90 day training period can be shortened if you have prior experience. All you have to do is show your skills while doing the sign off. If you are an experienced Master you won’t be held back if you are good at what you
do. The 90 days is the average for getting all items signed off and demonstrating ship handling. Sorry you took it all wrong captrock.
