What sort of schedule are you on? - I'm on 42on 21off working offshore Saudi - I was 'equal time ' when I was in the North Sea, but I believe things are even better now.

I'm on three and three here in norway, but the norwegians or those on norwegian contracts are now working two on four off! With no drop in salary! who syas high taxation doesn't work! They are really well protected. I don't want that, as I'm a consultant and only get paid when I'm here, they would like me to go two and two, but it just doesn't work very well for me, for numerous reasons. Who do you work for, 42 and 21 sounds like a shit schedule to me! Not diving are you?

I'm working for The Saudi Arabian Oil Co (Aramco) as a marine pilot, rig mover, and all sorts of other things.
I miss the equal time schedule but the salary here compensates.
Have a good one !!

Thanks Trev! I did some work on the ras tanura? loading dolphions, many years ago when a tanker nit the berthing dolphins and bent them! I had to survey the bends, to see if the steel had gone past its elasticity limit and were weakened, they were!!! Hope you weren't the pilot!! wouldn't be, I think they be-headed him!
