Thumbs down

leading edge is correct in most but not all. BCL is a local operation, but most of the nationals are unassing for BWIA. They are running short of nationals and are currently soliciting for national copilots and cadets. There are currently six US ex-pats employed there, with any further solicitation of ex-pats from that side of the pond. The operation changed from a 56/28 rotation to a 6 day on/3 day off rotation almost two years ago. On 6/3 you would be required to provide your own housing locally. Base pay was cut, subsistence remains, and a meager "air fare in lieu" allowance tendered to ex-pats because Bristows doesn't pay for the former rotation in/out of country. 28 days annual leave with Bristows supplying the ticket out then. They have recently been making offers only for copilot positions.
The aircraft are the typical 30,000+ machines. Parts are ordered on an as-break basis. Engineering is entirely National.
The Caribbean is a wonderful place. If you're not at the bottom of the pond.
Would have put this up sooner but haven't been on for a while.
