During a conversation with an old Bristow chum, he reminded me of how BHL's pay structure used to be.
He was quite correct when he reminded me the North Sea pilots had a long going fight to acheive pay parity with the Nigeria based pilots. Pilots leaving the Northsea received additional money when working in Nigeria as compared to the Northsea wages.
That was long before the hijackings, armed robberies, woundings, and kidnappings that are going on in Nigeria today.
