1203,
CHC/Aero has the Petrobras contract.
If PeeWee is the Chinese-looking fellow, he's away in South Africa at present - maybe trying to find more crews on the cheap? He needs to as both Bristow and Aero now have increasingly tired pilots flying increasingly tired helicopters with insufficient spares (of either pilots or mechanical parts), living in mostly lousy conditions and with no real news of anything been done to either improve the situation or increase the pay to compensate for the lousy conditions
Interestingly I see on this forum that CHC is looking for pilots in Great Yarmouth and offering $800 per day. If that's what's on offer to make up for shortages in the southern North Sea presumably CHC will tempt some of the pilots who might be thinking of going to Nigeria with CHC Global Operations, to work instead for CHC Europe (they seem to operate as 2 entirely spearate entities anyway and give no help to each other).
With both Bristow and CHC yet to reveal even a hint of what they plan to do about tempting pilots and engineers to stay in Nigeria, or to go there for the first time they can't be surprised that they don't have enough. I can't believe they really imagine that they really think that if they stick their heads in the sand for long enough all their problems will magically go away
