This is what I've just been sent:
Bluestream on the Northern River have just dropped the day rate by £100 p/d. This is from one of the guys on the boat.

We've just had to take a £100 pay cut a day on the Northern River(air boat) to keep the coy viable and competitive(so thet say!),
S***e or what.
Its probably due to the Euro being as strong as the pound 500e per day is far more than the North Sea air diver is making, hence the British can move in pay union rates & undercut the Dutch.
But thats just the way it is . We never got a pay rise when the arse fell out of the dollar. Did we.
Also heard that the Surveyor is now doing ROV, whether thats right or not I'm not sure. Also heard guys on Northern River have taken a pay cut of £100 a day from Rob Grundy and another sat job(can't remember where, but can get details in a bit) have taken a £400 a day pay cut!
Will get back to you on that one, just to check my facts.
Cheers!
Am home, no work, last sat job was cancelled by client, have accepted a salaried job, fed up with feast or famine for now. Waiting for visa app to start and dodging rain and snow on my new V-Rod. Sweet! Yep, 'tis I.
