OLOG execs were recently overheard discussing the need to ull more Bristow Staff so standby guys. They are waiting on a couple of overseas contracts but then CHC, PHI,MHS and Schreiner are also waiting for the same contract so it isn't going to be a big job creation opportunity.
Rumours also that BHL are going to only employ people on contracts from now on so they can get rid of people without BALPA interference. Smart idea, recognise then ignore because you don't have to negotiate!!
All North Sea crews should join BALPA and then sort out this vindictive mess by striking until the oil companies and the helicopter operators find at least some decency in the way they treat their people.
Also, more redundancies at Great Yarmouth rumoured. Watch your backs people..
