Both my FO's, coming in from a European port the other day validated your comments. They were both accelerating their plans to leave, due the same conclusion: COS18 has confirmed that the only direction is now down, and their hopes for improvements to their own contracts had come to nothing. I suspect that there are many hundreds more who were sitting on the fence waiting for the outcome of negotiations. Ironically, a contract that didn't even involve them has probably told them more than their own negotiations would have. Time to Leave.
