- 4 - Petitioners’ primary source of income is petitioner’s wages from Crowley American Transport, Inc. (Crowley), the primary office of which is in Jacksonville, Florida, and from the American Maritime Officers Vacation Plan.2 Crowley employs petitioner as the captain of its vessel the M/V American Falcon (Falcon). Crowley primarily charters the Falcon to the U.S. military to transport military vehicles and other military equipment worldwide. Petitioner’s work requires that he work continuously on or around the Falcon for long periods of time and that he then vacation for approximately 2 months. Petitioner and his crew generally fly to and from the situs of the Falcon at the beginning and end of their work schedule. During 1994, petitioner worked from April 22 to July 10 and from September 7 to December 8, for a total of 173 days. During 1996, petitioner worked from January 1 to February 3 and from June 26 to December 13, for a total of 205 days. Petitioner’s duties included captaining the sailing of the Falcon from one city to another and performing any assignment required by his employer while the Falcon was docked at port. 2 On the basis of the record, we infer that Crowley pays wages to petitioner while he works for Crowley and that the American Maritime Officers Vacation Plan pays wages to petitioner while he is on vacation.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next
