Yeah lsu777 you’re right about all of that
Plus you have to at the least a two year PTECH degree and most have a four year BS or a lot of related experience to get hired as an operator.

Westlake always tried to retain good experienced hands if at all possible
If you were just dead weight they didn’t have a problem letting you go.

been running batches from what i understand. So only a matter of time that they said screw it

Styrene unit doesn’t run batches
It takes several days to start up or shut down the unit

They are losing a lot of operators in other units to the LNG plants so hopefully that operators in plants being shut down will get moved to another unit.
Westlake in years past have been good about that.
Need another young up and coming Sonny Dykes.
Or a reincarnation of Maxie Lambright.
Yeah but that’s in the worst conference in the country

That shite needs to be illegal again
Saw it in person
