If you are alluding to the gig to the north east of the gulf, there is another consideration....
The initial training wage, before you get the first step up, then the mid wage, that you get until you gain ALL the required ratings.
Who knows if and when you would be released to do the rest of the training...it cuts both ways and the longer you spend without the full book, the more money the contracter makes out of your being there.
just a thought
