CHC bought their way back, Babcock survived and prospered through endless nights of hard graft, despite being owned by a parent company who had no interest in oil & gas and treated there staff in this area with contempt.
As much as I admire your almost heroic portrait of the Babcock employees (you clearly are one yourself), it made me giggle. Which company made more pilots redundant in the last 5 years? Exactly, CHC. Way more that is. To say the engineers and pilots at CHC are less than optimal 🤨 cause they've negotiated better terms and conditions than Babcock, after having been hammered way more than any Babcock employee in the last 5 years, just sounds a bit petty and quite honestly, envious. I'm sure you'd be happy to sign the new CHC's T&C's though without actually having earned them, wouldn't you? When you do though, just remind yourself who fought for those superior T&C's.
