Im interested in G4 because it would be a good QOL job since I'm moving near SAV in two weeks, and looking to stay there for good.
Management has never had a problem handing out industry average or better pay rates in the past, which now top out around 275. It's the work rules/soft pay that will take a few years to negotiate IMO. It's been hard to get a min day rig since the business model/utilization is different from the rest of the industry but with the highest profit margins in the country I don't see that as valid logic.
