Our manager just came on the boat this afternoon and told us, $100 a day for all captains and engineers, making Chief Eng and Lead Capt. pay $950 a day…NICE!!! ---

[QUOTE=rigdvr;84351]One post…hmmmm[/QUOTE] It is either a gag or just one division. The last raise was preceded by a call from my coordinator. Who knows, maybe he is busy. ---

> [@"ElCapitan"](#): > > I am at Chouest and making that day rate right now with out the raise. So sorry, good try though. That’s the rate for 6000 ITC, correct? I also heard that its the same for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd on 6000 boats, is that accurate, just foreign? ---

That’s funny, our coordinator told us, “no” yesterday about lunch time. 950/day sounds like overseas, or an anchor boat pulling anchors plus seniority pay. ---
