As an applicant they don’t care, they know you gotta eat. In fact, when I joined they encouraged me to find work wherever I could so I could build sea time and upgrade my license, which paid off since the first job I was able to snag off the board was a second mate job. Once you’re a member they aren’t so supportive of that idea though.

Well when they got wind I was sailing non union they wanted to make an example out of me. I was only an applicant as well and went after non union jobs only after they lost a number of contracts in 2010.
