Seems to me you are a greedy bunch !! Mind you ROV pilots were always a bunch of greedy premadonnas !!

[Feral]

Greedy??? Why so???

Where else can you employ a trade ticketed person and ask them to specialise in every other trade as well. I.e Electronic/Electrical techs have to be a hydraulic tech and vise versa. Tell you what, next time at home ring up your plumber and ask them to fit some power points in your house……

Well, it does seem a strange industry this ROV game, especially if you are of an electrical bias.
For example an elect tech IS expected to be hydraulic / mechanically competent (not to design level obviously), but a mech tech has the get out clause " Am no touching that Am no trained in that electrickery stuff".
Personally I agree with that sentiment, as "electrickry stuff" can give you a nasty, if not fatal bite. Not to forget the legal requirements.
This has always been a bugbear with myself, why are experienced electrical techs with a broad technical background paid the same as clankies with the "am no touching that" mentality. As we know in this "industry" the moniker "Mechanical" used to be preserve of the ex diver / non apprenticeshipped type person who happened to get a break.

As you can tell I am sticking up for the technical branch of the ROV thingy.

Anyway as I am on the way to get my tin hat on, I have seen a lot of stuff since I first put my mitts on a RCV225 hand controller (1981), but guys, the way technolgy is heading I am afraid the old days of "He’ll do he’s a good laugh blah! blah! are gone forever. The Geeks are coming 😯
Enjoy 😀

Yes James is correct -supervisor levels should be wiped out. It only takes 3 skills to be supervisor:

1. The ability to surf the internet for 12 hours at a time
2. The ability to assign your PT’s worthless tasks just to piss them off
3. This is the most important…you must be a master at bullshitting.

😆 You know………………………. I have actually come across quite a few supervisers in the industry that could not fix , Could not fly BUT were exellent Bullshitters 🙂 Very very good diplomats that were kept on the payrole for that sole reason 😀 There were a few at "Home made Boats" If I recall 😀 Because the systems had hardly any base time but transfered from one rig to another and new crews joined , they were in need of maintenance prior to putting it back in the drink . This is where the company employed " Bullshitter " came to the fore in saving our asses from being thrown off the job 😀
Galleon , I’m so sorry you have a lump of lard for a supervisor , It makes for the trip to be ugly instead of an enjoyment 😕
Never mind , The next supervisor will be different 😀

Definite currency adjustments to be made when drawing up the contracts now…. You guys getting paid GBP are getting ripped, big-time.

[Andy Shiers]

Now there is a surprise Scott 😯
We’ve been ripped off for the last ten years here 🙁

You have reminded me of things I hoped to forget. Arrive on a rig just in time for a demob, see the system disappear on a supply boat, then get on a chopper that may take you direct to the next rig, mob the system with maybe a reterm (those Trojan main lifts couldn’t take more than one and a half turns), spud in and get the BOP down or pull the BOP and do an abandonment, demob and repeat the above. If you were lucky you could get to be on 3 different rigs in 2 weeks. All very character building.

Funny 😕
I’ve just been offered over $1000:00 to work down in the dark continent ! 😯
Discussed it with " The Boss " 😉
I declined the offer 😕
Sometimes…………… money is not everything 😯

[Scott Beveridge]

Lost, There IS that fine line, isn’t there? Money? Yes, it’s SOMETIMES something (as long as it’s not the pound!)… Speaking of which, they (the big, fat, oil adults) are really trying to put one on our industry. N Sea rates have dropped (once again, due to the pound) 20% (ish) as of late…
