Ah...the shame of it all...back when Bristow had the airfield hangar....and accomodation...swimming pool built and paid for by the crews. Smashing bar....decent food....done mess style. Then the new and improved method.....

Used to be we took a pickup truck to Calabar....flew by local airline to the Lagos Domestic terminal...found your own way to the office....bummed a ride at some point to the BRC....then took a bath...had a beer or two and on to the International terminal ....which sounds good to the current system.

Glad to see Mobil takes care of its contractor pilots and engineers....and the company too. Would seem they could arrange their own crewchange...coordinate it with PHC and Warri....Escravos....oh.well.....we know how that would work. They would have you paying for the ride.
