Im with you shlaaper.
I feel that Bristow have been, well below par for quite some time now, and its only a matter of time before the oil comp wake up to this.
The simple fact that bristow over commited them self's "again", and CHC were very flexible in helping out at short notice, go's to show who's on the ball ! ! !
And if the two companies were to operate side by side it wouldn't be long before you saw, who's the market leader!
Good Luck !
