[QUOTE=Capt. Phoenix;173824]Exactly! (The only people I’ve known to sleep together onboard were married.)[/QUOTE]
Or, dare we say of a homosexual nature?

[QUOTE=cajaya;173837]According to you. YA, must have been a different company. Where I worked based on my first had experience many women I encountered did not want to work in the galley but we’re stuck there, men where given priority when transferring to deck or engine from galley. It would sometimes happen after a loooooooong while (like maybe a couple years long)further delaying their advancement towards licensed positions and making more $$$. One guy got hired as a cook, it took him less than 6 months to switch to engine, I never really heard of anything like that as far as women in the galley.
I never heard of a female lead engineer.
If a position even for a lesser officer opened up they would give it to a MALE with less experience and time with the company whose license didn’t even cover the vessel over a female any day of the week. Having an X and Y chromosome trumped work experience and license of any size all day everyday! Maybe it was different where you worked.
Do tell where it is, maybe I will apply there when things pick back up. One thing I missed while working there was the professionalism on deep sea ships. If I could find a GoM outfit with a professionally run operation that would be great.
If it where true what you were saying I would not be writing anything about it at all.[/QUOTE]
“Lead Engineer”? What is that, like a Chief Engineer? As far as promotion. . . yes there is cronyism and I have been a victim of that as much as anyone else, but I can tell you based on what you have told us about your understanding of engineering, your gender isn’t holding you back, your attitude and abilities seem to be doing a better job of it. . . . .
