I think McKeil has already gone thru all the available engineers already.

ehehehe, and then some

Can I ask why? They seem to pay higher than all the bulk carriers, at least until 2nd class/first class (which are getting rarer and rarer these days), have a relief system, and pay for travel. Is it because it's a more hands on job? I don't work for them, just curious, and looking for my next move for next season (probably outside the lakes..). Thanks

The pay and terms of employment are generally pretty good, but overall the actual conditions onboard are challenging as is the direction, or lack thereof.
