2017 CHC emerges form Chap 11......with zero credibility and credit rating ;-)
2020 Shell SNS contract not awarded to CHC upon renewal.
TUPE n/a as contract endex.

Nice story, but a few things are worthy of comment.
1. "Unstustainable rate" - any basis for your comment. How would you know?
2. Your (perhaps subtle) implication that the mother ship entering Ch.11 was somehow connected to TUPE at NWI wouldn't stand up to any scrutiny.
3. Why would TUPE not apply now, if the contract has been awarded to another operator? Contract "endex" (whatever that officially means!) has nothing to do with whether TUPE applies or not.
You wouldn't have been caught up in the 2015 contract loss by any chance? Still feeling bitter? Shame!
