I am amazed at the amount of " I did it the hard way, you should have to as well" going on in this post!! It is not the point of how you got your licence, it is the point of how it was rescinded. Today, I personally know of several people who have appealed this and managed to retain these ...

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the ship Everyone was in bed. No booze to sip When from the engine room there came a big clatter The Chief ran in and said "what the fuck is the matter The engineer pointed up and said, it came from the stack Bent over and farted, and through out...

Firstly, some people were in the process of writing the exams when the system changed. It is not a case of wanting something for free, it is a case of being told to stop doing that, no need anymore, here's your licence, go get a job.

So. Which schools has the “Leadership and Managerial Skill” course available? MI does not have it so who does??

Spoke to Elizabeth in HQ in Ottawa last night, and my issued licence is now cancelled. As will many others be shortly. This is ridiculous. When I asked how they managed to screw this up so badly she answered "don't know that's what we are trying to figure out". Anybody know a good Class ac...

Being one of the people that was affected by this I will weigh in. Whilst I agree that the new rules were not the best changes to the system.

Been there, with this company. Heed the warning

If you look on INDEED.CA, or Jobsinnl.ca, or many other forums you will see a list of jobs advertised for Seadrill. They are offering good salaries, and benefits, but, does anybody know of anyone actually getting these jobs? It seems they are constantly advertising the same positions, but nobody get...

At the end of the day it comes down to money, and benefits. Why is it that the companies with the great compensation, and leave system very rarely are looking for anybody, unless somebody dies, or retires. Whereas bottom of the barrel companies are always advertising. Example: NL Government ferries ...

I hold a 2nd Class ticket, and live in Newfoundland. I can say in total honesty that I receive on average at least one job offer a month. While these are not all "premium positions" somebody has to fill them for the ships to sail. Also I notice, in local newspapers, and on the internet the...
