This business is all about INTEGRITY. It wasn't long ago that a captain and I were put in a bad situation involving a maintenance problem. I can tell you from personal experience that PO and JC showed the utmost professionalism and looked out for both of us. We didn't need some union rep to stand up for us and make the situation worse. The captain and I JOINTLY decided to tell the truth, not hide any details, and we found Ole and JC respected our integrity and backed us up. We were cleared of ANY wrongdoing.

Writing a book, about your former co-workers, slandering them without any check on the facts, is something the likes of which the "New York Times" would do...Simply outrageous..
