chuks,
SASless may well have been indulging in a touch of pescatorial relaxation in the heat of the noonday sun, but he is possibly referring to the relocation of Pee Wee from the glass towers of sunny Redhill to the air-conditioned luxury of a Lagos office. If he squints his eyes when looking into the sun he possibly may appear to have a touch of Mandarin about him.
GMIA - are you NEO's son-in-law. Best you don't reply.
I hear that Bristow are having little luck in stemming the flow of pilots from Nigeria, despite theirugely generous increase in local allowance to N2,500 per day (gosh - nearly £10, when CHC are tedly paying pilots in Malabo US$35 per day in addition to an 'incentive allowance' of CAD 80 per day).
CHC pilots are also increasingly frustrated over the lack of any news of their supposed pay rise or improvements to their living conditions, now made worse by their enforced stay in their underequipped camp thanks to draconian restrictions on private movements in company transport. Many pilots are less than impressed with the new CHC management now in place, who think that new helicopters are an incentive to stay in Nigeria when conditions are much the same as the state of the tired, shabby outgoing hardware.
