Which is why they can't get applicants, I suppose. You'd want 100G + benefits at minimum, I'd imagine, to come ashore with a 1st Class ticket.

Only in theory (Thermodynamics) and on the Simulator. Cadets in Rimouski, Quebec, get a 4th Class steam ticket for playing video games with the steam stuff on the PPS.

We had a steam course at Marine Institute, besides Thermo steam teachings.

Also, I believe I remember seeing a similar ad last year and they were offering somewhere in the ball park of $80k range, if I recall correctly.
Not bad for picking on little punks all day heh
