One of the things which may complicate who's division it comes under is that Schreiner is a minority6 shareholder in Aero Contractors Nigeria, the majority of the shares being owned by the Ibru family. They seem to have been quite happy to leave the operating of the company to Schreiner and may have a say in who they chose to deal with. Cameroon/Chad together is a pretty small operation and would seem a more likely candidate to fall under the control of Jeremy. However, with the different salaries being paid by CHC Africa and Schreiner, if that were to happen they may find a lot of the pilots in Cameroon wanting to transfer to Nigeria.
Has there been any indication yet whether Schreiner will continue to operate as it is and pay its own salaries? What's the record of CHC on leaving companies it has just taken over to continue operating as semi-independent entities?
Sorry, wandered off the actual thread a bit here, but although CHC has just bought Schreiner there seems to have been little information on PPRuNe as to what changes it is going to bring about for the guys in Schreiner (of mcourse it may just be that there really is very little information).
Max Payload. Good stuff. How are things in cameroon now after all the changes you've talked about? It's a place that until now we've not heard much about.
