The 8/6, 4/3 roster implementation has been put back by management until November, (more likely next year), as Scotia do not have enough pilots to make it work. As for a big pay rise, we will just have to wait and see, the workforce know nothing as yet.
With regard to pilots moving across the runway, I believe that there is a no poaching agreement in force between the two companies. Perhaps any Bristow pilot who has approached Scotia would like to comment.
