Great rumour, if it's true then the management at Bristow's must be worried that their 'magical' pay review won't satisfy the work force in light of Scotia's already better pay & conditions. They can kiss goodbye to a few more pilots in the near future and in the long term any hopes of the 'Jigsaw' Offshore SAR and even the long term mainland SAR contract, not to mention being unable to crew present oil contracts
In fact, if indeed the management is so 'blinkered' and perhaps they aren't if they are selling OLOG shares off as mentioned by Rameses III. Then perhaps it's true the hidden agenda is the end of Britow's and the start of an even larger CHC company!. (Watch the Oil companies cry 'Monopoly').
After all, spending lot's of money on a new company image just before you sell it off is an old military tactic. A sure fire sign of the end. I'm sure those loyal BHL pilots, crewmen and support staff are watching carefully to see if the loyalty shown over many years will be justly rewarded with an ample pay and conditions award. Good luck….you deserve it. If not I'll see you at Scotia in the near future.
