With so many flights going into Owerri at the moment everyone will have seen the sad, abandoned hulks of the ex-Continental aircraft alongside the ramp area. With Bristow and CHC now so short of pilots and aircraft sitting on the ground, how long before we see some old abandoned helicopters from those companies on the civil side of the NAF Base?
Maybe if the managements of the two companies had listened to many of the pilots who have now left, they wouldn't be in the sorry state they are now. Oh, sorry, can't have management actually talking to bottom feeders now can we? After managers are meant to manage and that just means telling people what to do doesn't it?
To misquote Reginald Perrin, "I didn't get where I am today by sitting around listening to what my employees have to say". The helicopter fleets may be getting modernised but the style of management obviously isn't.
