There's an expectation that public conveyances are being maintained and
operated properly. Apparently that is not the case with the Carnival
cruise line ships and others that serve mainly U.S. ports but are flying
flags of convenience in nations that apparently aren't rigorous in
establishing, maintaining and enforcing standards.

Perhaps a solution might be to insist that these ships be U.S. flagged,
and therefore subject to U.S. rules regarding construction, operation,
crew training and safety. One rule might be that critical shipboard
personnel share a common language.

You're too funny.

I said a few weeks back this would come down to feeding more dirty
unions.... Just what we need, a thousand folks on board a disabled ship
that can't do anybody elses job or they might lose their card...

Seafarers are cross-trained, **** for brains. That means they are
professionally trained to handle emergencies aboard ships. We're not
talking about the kitchen crew or the cleaning crew.

Lordy, you are an ignorant little putz.

Yup.
