Who Wants A Promotion?
Only those who are relatively junior would be interested in a promotion.
There is no benefit in becoming a CSM.
You get no support whatsoever from management{sic}.
But you WILL get a phone call in your room while you are asleep to explain the 60 sec delay in departure from your last port..
The fall from "chosen one" to "shafted one" will be swift.
Most of thes poor devils already have little resect or credibility due to the promotional process and its lack of transparency.
The CSM position is not the position it once was.
You are now nothing more than a clerk/punching bag/flight attendant.
The flight deck are going to receive a lot more phone calls from these guys because the newbies are poorly trained and indecisive.
They have been set up to fail.
