It has now all happened, but very few have actually had their final P45, etc., as there were plenty of special deals being done.
Special deals in BHL, I hear you ask? Oh no, the management would say, not unless you arganise it yourself!
A conservative estimate re the pilot loss is that with the 20% odd loss of N. Sea pilots, the loss of experience is probably in the order of double that. Quite scary, and the oil companies have apparently not said a dickie bird.
I strongly believe that there are bigger forces at work here!
I'm glad that I am out, and will have to change my monicker to extigerpilot.
Good luck to all who are left. You are now in the firing line! Especially if you are over 50, or are a senior captain (watch that disappear very soon!).
