STUPID MORONS!!!
BC Ferries is doing a good job so far, imho...
The two have remained tight-lipped since the crash, speaking only to investigators from the Transportation Safety Board -- which, in its report, said the two were distracted by a "personal conversation" before the ferry sank.
There needs to be a serious shake down on policies and procedures when a personal conversation between jilted lovers can sink a ship and drown people.
By one reason or another, they'll burry this and no one will lose their jobs.
Way to go Union.
They are not shoving anything under the carpet. They are doing the best they can.
Do you think this is "the best they can"?
Do you think they should have been charged or that they should have been fired?
Do you think this is "the best they can"?
Who, the people that caused the accident or their bosses?
I think they are in court now, and that we should wait with jumping to conclusions.
tisk tisk gunnair...it's called a GPS system...that's cummin out of your semens pay...
We use SHINNADS - a little more complicated than GPS.
OMG how can you put a person that knows nothing on the helm of a ship...

Actually, the question to be asked here is whether or not the helmsman was required to know how to navigate.
When I read the article, I was rather taken aback by the tone which suggested the helmsman should have know where they were and how to carry out the navigation of the ship. Certainly in the navy, those jobs are not done by the helmsman, but by the Officer of the Watch who is responsible for the ship's navigation. The helmsman is responsible for steering, making pipes, dealing with alarms and system failures, but certainly not navigation.
I'm curious to see what BC Ferries' reaction will be confirming or denying the accuracy of the article.
The ones who DID know where not there...
