Offshore Oil Industry Has Died, What're You Doing Now?

[QUOTE=tugsailor;173758]Jeaux Boss must be a second cousin to Bernie Sanders. That crazy Jeaux Boss was paying his Skoal-stained ABs over $400 a day and some of his captain’s over $1,000. Some of those guys not only thought they were worth it, but they thought they deserved even more. Overpaying that kind of money, Jeaux Boss must be a socialist.

The oil companies are now learning about the importance of cost containment and cost efficiency. Next time the oil patch picks up there will not be so much reckless overspending. The boats will not have twice as much crew as the Certificate of inspection requires, and Jeaux Boss will not be overpaying his crews twice what they are worth either.[/QUOTE]

We’ll I know this thread has been derailed due to Ms. Yap-Yap, but I’m going to put my 2 cents in.

An OSV can never be properly ran with the minimum COI. 1 in the bridge and 1 in the ER is able to be done, but 1 guy rigging? What about if you’re doing deck cargo and pumping product? That’s where the extra crew comes in.

You want to talk about over pay? When this turns around (be it 2 years or 10 years) day rates will be through the roof! The horror stories I hear and what I saw, they’re going to have to pay just to get people down there. Either that or they’ll be paying out their rears due to accidents and injuries because fresh Academy licenses showing up. The word is out about the oil field and the experience that’s left will not be coming back.

[QUOTE=Ctony;174151]Let me be frank. You appear to be perpetually on the rag.
You have a sickening sense of entitlement.

Entitlement? Entitled to what exactly? Have I asked for free money? Food stamps? OHHHh! I know! I feel I am entitled to equal work opportunities and advancement as someone that has balls and a nut sac! That is -just- ridiculous isn’t it?! You are right I am just a prissy snob who thinks I’m the shit and that I am entitled to things. I am out, going to bed.

If you cannot STFU, why should she?[/QUOTE]

Doubtful. She won’t be able to tell you how unfair her life has been and how she is always facing this impossible, biased up-hill battle with her mouth full.

[QUOTE=Johnny Canal;174155]tomorrow, please wake up in another dimension with no internet.[/QUOTE]

this is what I hope she wakes up to

maybe she has a cat?

not just any female SIR but the most asskicking, take no prisoners, leave em dead in the gutters female EVER!

ALL KNEEL BEFORE THE GREAT ZODESS!

well it is obvious that she hates all men and I am really beginning to doubt the part about her not being a bull dyke…

My god is she serious!? This has to be someone passing the time at home during the downturn messing with us. Can’t be real

[QUOTE=AHTS Master;174142]She is the female version of you.[/QUOTE]

Good Lord! Will someone please shut that frigging woman up!
I have been lurking around lately trying to keep my mouth shut. I think that’s what our God’s gift to our industry should start doing.

[QUOTE=seadog6608;174178]Good Lord! Will someone please shut that frigging woman up![/QUOTE]

I am trying man…Lord knows how I am trying!

Don’t feed the troll.

[QUOTE=cajaya;174176]Btw, it is not that uncommon for young boys to have 6 pac and 100 ton licenses— it doesn’t require that much sea time!
[/QUOTE]

Take you all night to come up with that, chuckles? 'doesn’t require that much sea time?" Not much sea time, that’s a relative term…or are you trying to clown 100 ton guys? For one thing, I’ve long upgraded since then. Secondly, gotta start somewhere, and its lower level just like your DDE. You are a DDE unlimited right, or so you claim? Minimum age is 21 and its 1080 days… only three years of sea time. Big deal. The point I was making is that is no one is impressed with your accomplishments. You think its special because you’re a woman, and a hawse piper. No one here cares about your gender. Its your brazen, obnoxious, incessant whining we are offended by, and because of that whenever you open your mouth we will see you with disdain.

[QUOTE=Ctony;174182]Take you all night to come up with that, chuckles? [/QUOTE]
No, I was going to say it yesterday but was trying not to be too harsh. I will remember to refrain from being so forebearing in the future.

No.

[QUOTE=Ctony;174182] its 1080 days… only three years of sea time. Big deal.[/QUOTE]

1080 days of sea time being away from Internet, phone and loved ones for long stretches of time is different than working on daddy’s fishing boat a few days a week.

[QUOTE=Ctony;174182] You think its special because you’re a woman, and a hawse piper. [/QUOTE]

The numbers tell me me otherwise.

[QUOTE=cajaya;174185]No, I was going to say it yesterday but was trying not to be too harsh. I will remember to refrain from being so forebearing in the future.

No.

Oh, that’s right. You are an unlimited chief and master. I forgot. Pardon me master mariner.

And it wasn’t on ‘daddy’s’ fishing boat. It was weekends and entire summers away…and once again, the only reason I brought it up is because you DEMAND we give you the respect and admiration you think you deserve. The shit that comes out of your mouth will always be a roadblock to that.
Don’t preach to me what a sacrifice it is being away from home. I’ve missed a lot of my kids growing up, funerals, holidays to get to where I’m at, for starters.
You are a presumptuous, arrogant, egotistical ass of a person. The hole gets deeper and deeper with every word you type.

You do realize that some/most of the men on here were hawsepiping it or earning their licenses when there was NO internet, old school phones(maybe), right? I won’t even comment on being away from family because that’s a hardship EVERYONE experiences in this life. It doesn’t make you special. Your continued better than everyone attitude, worked massively harder than everyone ego, and non-stop incessant whining about things that happened in the past are why people hate you on here. You say your new boat is great and has none of the problems as the old one. SO STOP TALKING ABOUT THE OLD ONE!!!

For gods sake, someone can post that it’s gonna rain tomorrow and you’ll chime in with how in the past you were the only woman onboard and guys were mean to you and they talked to you too much like a girl and how it hurt your feelings. You ever think how those poor guys felt having to put up with YOU everyday. If it’s like my boat if you make a big deal about something annoying you, that’s exactly what the guys will keep poking at everyday.

Ohh! Weekends and summers! That sounds so difficult! Must have been very disruptive to your social life. I am so sorry for your hardships!

Oh sorry I forgot to mention the part about being the only woman on board 98.99% of the time. How could I have forgotten to mention that? Maybe I should post this link again:

I’m sorry but if I tell someone not to fucking touch me or to talk to me about a certain subject and they continue to do so, that’s harassment and they should be fired. In most Union related companies there is zero tolerance for that. It is not always enforced but the point is I have seen it enforced.
In the bayou, they get rid of the woman because she “wasn’t getting along”, and I have never seen it enforced. People continue to behave in anyway they want because they have no fear of retribution. That is a backwards and fucked up system.

Well said, sir. What supercheng also doesn’t realize is that most of the folks on this forum started their career when if you got to make a phone call with the marine operator or use a pay phone once every couple weeks you considered yourself lucky.

Well, I could have dropped out of school to work full time, but decided I should have at least a high school education. Stupid me…but we all have our own cross to bear.
Point is, supercheng, I started my career when your biggest concern was trying to cover up a zit so your crush in english class wouldn’t notice.

Why anyone would want to touch you amazes me. Assuming you are vocal in real life like you are here, your behavior is pure hard on repellent.

And on that note, I’m throwing in the towel and am going to take my own advice.

I’m not worthy of a response, yet you respond. :rolleyes:

humanoid (/ˈhjuːmənɔɪd/; from English human and -oid “resembling”) is something that has an appearance resembling a human being.

Yep, Id say that I resemble a human being.

Tell me c.captain, did your mother have any children capable of breathing on their own, or were you the only one born with an extra chromosome and placed on a ventilator?
