Its funny because he served under one of the better trainer captains in the fleet. The two captains that really get it are Sig and Wild Bill, though Wild Bill is a bit more extreme.
In the last episode when his crew was bitching about the new deck hand, he was sitting there stating that they weren't trying to work with the kid to fix the problems. Then he lost it when he found out the kid had lied about warrants.
Somehow I think that Jake learned how to operate a boat but didn't pay attention to how to operate people, and its going to kill him on that boat, Sig was right to question why he was out painting the boat instead of getting his crew to do it. It goes to this misguided concept that these guys are going to roll up their sleeves and follow Jake's example, it doesn't work that way, these deck workers on that fleet with some exception are pure mercenaries, they're there to make a lot of money fast, and they respect the captains that make that happen.
I almost feel bad for Keith though, reality fake or not, when they're interviewing him right now he just looks like a broken man, I think this season is angling towards a few big events.
I think Wild Bill is coming to an end, he's been talking retirement for a while. We know about Sig's health problems, and I have a feeling that Keith is going to have some problems.
