(Don't hold your breath waiting for a response Vic.
If they do decide to employ some people, I expect they will want someone with experience. )

Well, they are not getting Black Water on board, be it because they do not want to spend the money or they are afraid to change the status quo. And if a inexerienced crew could nearly pulled it off with no more than muscle and a few knives, I am pretty sure that with a minimum of added force the job could be handled be just about anyone. The thing are floating castles and every advantage belongs to the defenders. Besides the fact that getting Black Water guys would cost the companies 100 k+ a pop, I think their skills and experience would almost be wasted in a situation like this. And I guess I do not like the idea of American sailers turning to Black Water when things get a little hairy. I bet if that crew had a few guns, their captain would never have been touched. We should not expect the cops to protect our homes, and we should not expect Black water to protect our boats.
