Careful, my Mum told me that self praise is no recommendation Who are the "we" you are so cool about anyway ? Both major operators are doing the job at the moment.
Rumor has it that they're just going to award it based on the alphabet so it'll definitely go to Aero or Bristow or CHC .......... or all of the preceding
NEO,
You're absolutely right about onwing's comments. At the moment Aero are flying to it out of Port Harcourt, but Bristow are doing the real long haul flights out of Lagos with 76C++. CHC have sent some guys off to France to pick up their new EC225s which are (maybe) leaving next month, but Bristow has also already trained some engineers and has pilots away training on S92. A number of engineers have left CHC because they're not happy about being passed over for EC225 courses and quite a number of pilots are unhappy about the number of pilots recruited straight from the French military because they're been flying them there - however, I'm sure the new guys with no experience of Nigeria are gonna just love it over here
What's all this about trouble at Eket? I've heard the Chief Pilot there was fired. Who did he upset? Is this old Bristow re-emerging
I think you look like Bruce Forsyth, except his nose isn't as big as yours!! Of course he's got more hair (though that may be due to him being able to afford an expensive wig maker )
You're quite right of course, Caverton will be getting the Agbami with all those expensive S92 Jumboliners they have on order. Rumour has it that both 212 man and Doc have been made offers they can't refuse to come back and head up Caverton's training team at huge ££££££ paid into a Diamond Bank account in the Cayman Isles almost every month and because 212 likes his fast cars he's getting a Daihatsi GT coupe as his company car. Doc, as befitting his larger size will of course, have a Lincoln Town Car. They, like Chuks will be wearing very fetching pink shirts with the button holes edged in violet
What is this! I get a Bajaj and Doc gets a Town Car? Oh well, guess which one the robbers will go for...
I have been watching my e-mails like a cat outside a mousehole but so far, nothing. How can this very toppest of top operators do without me? Has something gone missing in the post?
Not to make fun of someone with a physical deformity but I know someone who would look like a haystack if his hair was proportionate but, hey, the guy definitely can tell which way the wind is blowing, there is that.
You can’t go and upset Chuks like this with all those false rumours, they all will get Town Cars because that’s one of the only cars their standard issue pointy shoes will fit in.
So Chuks just hold your breath waiting for that email and everything will become clear after 5 minutes …

Let me see....$1/4 million and work in Brunei, or half that and work in Nigeria. I'll get back to you on that one....
I'm not sure I like the sound of dis very town car. I'd prefer the Merc and the chateau in France... Uh oh, someone already took that package!
Maybe I'll be content as Chuck's driver... Uh oh, on second thoughts I might just as well pin a target to my head (I know they'd miss and hit me in the Nyyyaash).
Maybe safer to just accept the inevitable and join the Rumplestiltskin brigade!
Yuck - DOC's Nyash, now there's an image to conjure with! Don't worry, de very robbers can only hit de Dornier pilot nyash as it is only one big enough to see. Thankfully de Dornier pilot wallet absorbs de impact well well (that extra allowance and pay rise comes in useful sometimes!)
SpeedbirdXK8 (now there's a cryptic name - who do you fly for and what do you drive?) You could be right, but I'd be very surprised. No offshore industry and last 61 involvement was UN.
Are you sure it's a start up? The President had a Mil 24, S61 and Alouette 3 a few years back and I was going to go there, but it seems that getting paid was a bit of a problem, so I ended up back in the tranquility of Nigeria . I'd also be interested in finding out if it's a different operation as SL is a place I've long wanted to visit.
Escravos is the best base I ever worked out of in Nigeria. Only 4 weeks rotation at that place. Living conditions there was pretty good if you ask me.
The food there is also a lot better than what you get at some of the other places. What they feed you with in Lagos at the BRC is sometimes marginal at best I think.
Some people don`t like Escravos due to the fact that it is a closed camp. Not that I have spent much time in prison,but I can imagine it is similar to staying in a low security prison. It never bothered me much as I did not do very much after work anyways.
I worked in Lagos and Port Harcourt for about a year or so after being in Escravos for almost two years. I was,believe it or not, very happy to be back in Escravos at that time. And now I am very happy to be out of there
Redundant?? Most of the pilots who have recently completed Helijet may not be going to Nigeria - however, they are being assigned elsewhere.....unless you've got news hot off the press that suggests otherwise?
Strong rumour that CHC and ACN are getting divorced. The Agbami deal was likely to be split between CHC and Bristow so I guess it's Hobson's choice for the contract award ?
Do ACN and CHC pay their people different salaries or just use different methods ?
I suppose the fact that CVX have been promising news on Agbami since Nov - its hardly surprising that the promise of an announcement last week was not met.
Guess I gotta cancel my order for my new Okada - recently rebored to 135cc - would have been king of the road. But Bristow is sending me to my new office next week and it looks good.
Roll on Bristow and Agbami - I need to fly and watch rugby!!!!!! if CHC and Aero are in as much pooh as everyone says - besides job insecurity for the pilots and engineers - it can only help my quest.
Hey biggest, that's just a simulator. Is Bristow actually going to get the real thing in Nigeria? Looking at the antiques they fly from NAF Base they could certainly do with something later than 1970s technology . Still, if CHC carries on self-destructing there should be a few newer helicopters available to lease
Hey Mamamama - you are observantly correct. A stimulator it be.
The real deal is subject to -in the blue corner...."..give us the contract or we won't give you helicopters" followed by in the red corner...."bring the helicopters or you won't get the contract"
Way above my pay scale. Will be there with new black trousersand polished boots.....waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who are the "we" you are so cool about anyway ? Both major operators are doing the job at the moment.
or which base is commendable? thanks
Chc Redundancies
What happened to steam driven ?? Oh, that's Eket and Snake..........
