bellboy,
Don't pack anything yet, apart from all the helicopters, theo only thing flying around here is rumours
Lots of speculation, but CHC are also going for a change to their pay structure, so whatever is finally decided may take a while to filter down to the troops.
In Nigeria the main thing seems to be whether there will be any change to the incentive pay or extended tour pay as the latest figure being bandied about is a shortage of 25 pilots in Aero rotary division - ouch! Bristow have much the same problems, and doubtless the management of the two companies will be wondering just what the other is about to do, and just what they have to do to get new people to come, and those here to stay. Pilots aren't migrating between the two companies now, they're just migrating. Big personal issues for CHC guys seem to be internet, standard of the housing and transport and lack of anything happening since CHC took over. Bristow guys seem to be interested in overall pay and equal time roster to match CHC. The next 2 months will probably decide how many aircraft may be grounded a few months down the road
