MS, Ya know, I'm not sure. I didn't even get a chance to hit orientation before I got "un-hired". I'm sure we would have learned most of those important-type details in training. I believe that the NMFS budget was reduced, causing them to request less sea days for this year.
I didn't know that comm guys paid to have us on board. No wonder some fishermen are against it. It's good that they're not making boats pay even more, using budget cuts as an excuse, though.
I just got an email today saying that I should be hired on again in the late spring, early summer -- a better time to be a newbie, as the weather's a bit less miserable.
