Hello girls,

Just back from leave.

Bristow yet again in Mauritania - is no-one else interested in trying to get in there? Hi Brains!


CHC going to start in Sudan with an SA365N2 from Eurocopter Malaysia, though it's APRAM (Schreiner) who are looking for the crews. Any bets as to whether they'll be paid the CHC Africa ( ) salary or the APRAM salary (slightly less ). By all accounts Sudan is a good place to work . At least Khartoum and Heglig are well away from Darfur, but Heglig has recently been a hotspot as it was partially destroyed by rebels only a couple of years ago. I hope they're paying a good danger allowance

CHC boss in Malabo recently quit and more changes in people in Douala. Both much nicer than Nigeria, so wonder what's up there? Rumours that the new CHC accommodation in Luanda has lots of restrictions on crew personal life.

ACN still losing people in Nigeria despite offering a better rotation than Bristow. Wonder what the underlying cause of that is? Also hear that after getting rid of all the old fogeys over 57 Bristow now short of pilots again - oh how unexpected!!


Caverton now have their AOC, but yet to start actually operating their 109.

Well, PPRuNers, yet again rumours, but will anybody actually, for once come upm and make any comment. Gettin' a bit tired of hoppin around here on my pogo stick!
