fudpucker,
I think 212 man was actually just saying that it's a mystery why the Bristow pilots in Nigeria aren't paid the same as their pilots on the North Sea. After all, if a job in Aberdeen is worth £X + allowances, why isn't it worth £X + different allowances in Nigeria?
I expect Mandarin Towers is too busy personally negotiating with the Niger Delta Frontier Force - NOT! It's a good excuse anyway for them to say how overworked they are and needing to be close to a computer terminal, so they can't visit the troops in Eket and help bolster morale
. Never mind, after this and with the 7/5 and the fantastic pay rise this year they'll probably have queues of people waiting to fill all the vacant posts in Nigeria
