Received a phone call, today, from an HR guy with a great company looking for AB’s and Engineers, so thought I would make a post to let mariners, that may be looking for work, know about this opportunity. Then, tonight, I had an email sent to me from someone looking for a Chief engineer job. What a…

Tugsailor, Surely, you can get cheaper rates at a hotel, if you are looking for cheap. But, there are no 5 star hotels down here. Some people get tired of hotels and enjoy the relaxation right on Bayou Lafourche, so this is only another option. And, because of COVID, I am only offering the private r…

[image] tugsailor: If you are just taking a course, with the Covid situation (hotels are empty) you could probably stay at a five star hotel for half that price. You might be surprised at how wrong you are. As a for example, the Fairfield by Marriott in Cut Off, arguably one of the nicest ho…

Looking online that fairfield is booked up for months. Isn’t even a room available at the one in Houma till February

Yes, the Fairfield and Holiday Inn are both fully booked by companies since COVID started in March. The Hampton Inn in Thibodaux closed for 6 months because of COVID.

Over the years , I have stayed in some real shitholes, and some nice places while upgrading.

Never had to stay in that area, b…

Also all 3 Hilton properties within 30 miles of Houma are booked through end of March… Offshore company quarantining there. Claudette options seems solid to me!

maybe if youre taking a class there, but who is visiting GoM companies down there out of the blue these days? I doubt any of them are actually seeing walkins. ECO is taking online applications and interviews online according to their website. You dont actually go down there until after youre hired.

They used to have a sign that said no walk ins when there was no such thing as covid. I can’t imagine your chances would be that much better than they would be following the online process you’re supposed to follow.

I’ve seen a couple of OSV company ads “hiring for all positions.” I have not heard anything about OSV pay these days. What is it? The schools in that area are still running courses in spite of Covid? Is Louisiana still a Covid hot spot?
