Slightly wrong. Air Logistics will still be here in the GOM and Alaska, however the name will read Air Logistics and under it, in smaller letters it will say - A Bristow Company. Offshore Logistics, in Houston, has changed its name to Bristow Group Inc. This reflects an effort to recognize global standards in all of our companies, even non aviation ones such as Grasso Production, which will now be Grasso and under that, A Bristow Company.
The compass rose emblem will be replaced by a new symbol, common to all companies, but it doesn't appear on my keyboard and I can't draw it. You will see lots of it at HAI, on our aircraft (which will all now have one paint scheme worldwide, and in various publications.
Allthough I'm sure they will be as many opinions as posters, most looking for some darker reason, the change was done to unite all of our companies under one banner worlwide and standardize everything from training, standards (where possible), down to business cards, stationery, forms, etc, everything. We picked Bristow because of it's worldwide name recognition and reputation which was borne out by a world wide survey of customers and potential customers worldwide.
I'm proud to be associated with the name,
Let the comments begin, I know what a tough audience this is!
