There is soft pay, international override, junior man pay, transition conflict, etc.

I didn't factor in soft pay at all when I was making my decision to come here, any soft pay realization was a bonus. That's usually what I tell guys. You'll probably find that's standard advice.

Our contract is amendable in August, groundwork I'm sure is being laid now for it. Not in a million years do I expect our pay rates to drop, for us to make LESS money. I'm not expecting top of the industry pay rates, but I fully expect we'll be properly compensated. However, as I'm a cautious investor, I'm cautious in my expectations. I am not relying on the new compensation from an upcoming contract, I plan to live within the means afforded to me by this current contract.
