Of course the Oil Industry wants another player at Aberdeen. I can't however see the Bond brothers succeeding as I can't see any of the present Aberdeen captains jumping ship to join the Bonds. In fact at present pilots are leaving Bond AS to join Scotia. There are interesting times ahead in the offshore industry and it is fairly certain that a large pay award is imminent. While this may not all be reflected in the final salary scheme that most captains are on this will be a powerful disincentive for most captains not to consider leaving their present employer. Bond was a reasonable company to work for in the early 90s but having something else to compare it with shows it was not great. I would say that most ex-Bond pilots would say that they are better off under Scotia as there are now overtime payments and much better travel allowances than under Bond. So no captains no offshore company.
