If they are better only temporarily. They laid up almost half the fleet. They are building several new tankers. How will they continue to fill the jobs when the unions are dying for people too? Those numbers for a third officer are smoke and mirrors. You would have to work 10-12 months to get 150k+ as a third officer. So would you rather make 120-150K in the Union for 6 months or do that in 10-12 months with MSC.
