I’m all for a bit of modernization, but let’s hope this working group isn’t just another meeting that turns into a boat anchor.

Finally, a bill that wants to bring our mariner exams out of the Stone Age—because workers deserve fair tests, not fossilized quizzes.

Modernizing exams with input from real mariners? It’s about time we put the people, not bureaucracy, at the helm.

If we’re serious about maritime safety, exam reforms have got to reflect today’s realities, not yesterday’s paperwork.

If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it—this bill just sounds like another government overreach trying to rock the boat.

Modernization is fine, but don’t let these panels drown us in overregulation we didn’t ask for.

Updating mariner exams sounds reasonable—if it’s about efficiency, not endless government red tape.

More exam rules and working groups? Sounds like bureaucracy crashing into the deck instead of smooth sailing.
