I just can't see them dedicating much effort towards colluding with Bristow to help break the strike.
It's interesting you mention O&G companies' focus on service delivery and safety - both of those are currently reduced compared to before the strikes.
I agree that the O&G companies are likely not significantly affected from a financial perspective. My question earlier in the thread was "Are the financial penalties and relationship damage with O&G companies sustainable?" when it had been suggested flights could simply be caught up on with minimal impact on Bristow or it's clients, suggesting the strike a bit pointless.
How do we know there are panelties? Strike action could be considered force majeure
