    A “crew member” would be some kind of employee.

    Employees don’t pay a company a quarter of a million dollars to do “work” for eight hours. You don’t pay to work, you get payed to work.

    Just because you call someone a crew member doesn’t necessarily mean that would hold up in a court of law.

      Technically I believe they were classified as employees that “donated” to the company. Nice workaround Stockton! Let’s see how that holds up in court with the obvious gross negligence.
