Yes, I agree that Bond was a good company in the early 90's and the paint scheme is still the best on the North Sea! They really lost the plot though when it came to looking after their employees - the arrogance with which they regarded the workforce was,and still is breath-taking. Nothing seems to have changed - witness the recent rapid rise in resignations! No pilot in their right mind would accept the Bond regime until they - Bond management - recognise that workers want more than a pay packet at the end of the month but some regard for the vital part they play in the industry. Perhaps they will set up in West Africa, they're welcome to it!
