Many years ago a wise old Bristow pilot said to me: "If Bristow ever offer you redundancy then take it, put the money in the bank, work somewhere else and then a year or two later they will be looking for pilots again. Rejoin and wait for the next redundancy package". I often wonder if they ever actually save money by making redundancies. I thought that Bristow Aberdeen axed half of it's pilot work force a couple of years ago?
