In the end this industry is cyclic and rates follow.
Right now we're at an all time low.
It's nothing personal, its basic economics. Union or not, people do what they can to survive.
Next time the cycle goes up, as it always does. Cash in and plan for bad times.
This is the reality of our industry.
Don't fret too much about the overabundance of trainees, the client's requirements are getting more and more stringent.
It's near impossible to get a trainee's cv approved especially when there are so many experienced hands sitting ashore.
My best advice right now: Sell your toys, tighten your belt and get what job you can at a salary that suit your needs. Go do some back packing, live as a beach bum in Thailand, etc. Try and enjoy life as you can until the industry gets back on its feet. That is what you signed up for when you made this horrible decision to have a career offshore...
Cheers,
