I hear there's a lot of political infighting going on at the moment between OLOG, Pan African and Brsitow Redhill as to who gets to control Nigeria. With the way things are going with OLOG in the GOM doesn't look as if aqny good will come of it for either Bristow Nigeria or Pan African.

The guys at Aero are still waiting to hear how much they're going to get stuffed by CHC on their new pay deal when they change from Euros to Dollars. They're being told that they may be pleasantly surprised, but that could just be to reduce the haemorrhaging of pilots and engineers they're suffering at the moment. All the staff are being sent new contracts to sign. At least they're presently being employed by a Cypriot-based company where their contracts may have some chance of a semblance of legal backing. What's the betting the new ones will be governed by the obscure, unenforceable laws of some unheard-of tax haven?

As for Caverton - who wants a contract with a Nigerian company governed by Nigeria law? That's just sure to be easily enforceable internationally
