Phony tonnage measurements and pilotage endorsements

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Members Only : One Thread

Anyone who is concerned about the phony tonnage measurements and how it affects officers ability to upgrade or to sit for pilotage should read and respond to the USCG's recent request for comment on its decision to open up the regs for admeasurement to more accurately reflect tonnage. They seem to be proposing to do away with the lame rules that have allowed the tonnage openings and other methods that resulted in the Eagle being 96gt and the other tonnage reductions that have hurt our opportunities for upgrading.
