Increased EK attrition
Is this actual attrition though or expected retirements?
Either way it's balanced out by the plethora of available crew on the market unfortunately.
EK is still way ahead of the pack compared to most (if not all) jobs out there at the moment. I'm not saying it's as good as it should be, just that there's nothing close to it at the moment unless you're a already a senior skipper in one of the established profit-makers (of which there are not many at this present time).
