If a company losses a contract that forms some 40% of you're revenue stream then you would expect ANY company to face the fact that redundances are inevitable, But as yet only 6 pilots have been made redundant and the rest have taken a early retirement package and a generouse one at that, many more jobs would have been lost if it were not for the pressure brought about by Balpa, please dont be fooled as to why Scotia lost the BP work it was purely a function of the bean counters wanting a third operator back on the North sea.
Check out CHC's website and get some insight into how they are going forward, just Bought Schriener and it's subsidaries, Keep an eye out for Bristows for if they pull out it will be back to two operators on the NS and the oil companies will yet again be forced to pay rates that allow for investment and wages to keep the pilots with experience gainfully employed.
Why do you think we still have a final salery scheme, BALPA
