The bark is worse than its bite. Bottom line, Xe sought takers in the West and for whatever reason found none after 1 year. Whether or not this is an indictment of the business model generally or a matter of execution requires more information. At least one guy is already calling for a split decision. Personally, I think all the words Galrahn, Isenberg, Shipboard and the milblogging community in general have offered on this topic don't amount much of anything.
I think we'd need some hostile workplace statistics in civilian maritime to properly place these incidents in context. Xe's under a tremendous spotlight as it is; hardly conditions that favor drawing accurate conclusions from such limited information.About Xe; well, that's a symptom of a badly failed personnel policy and of red tape. It's not the problem itself.
