Devil BRISTOW - 2Oth CENTURY DINOSAURS ON THE WAY OUT

NEO,
I think you're right, along with mny others I've been waiting to hear about the new Bristow deal. However, after talking to friends in Bristow about the lack of any reasonable additional benefits and the cr*p communication in that company - no news from the big oggas, lack of internet almost everywhere, no loss of licence, no 'perks', I think CHC is a much more caring employer, who are actually in the 21st century and appreciate their employees want 21st century things. The old Bristow attitude of, 'well we always did it this way and people were happy before', will no longer wash. let's wait and see, but I think they will reap the rewards as CHC will have plenty of pilots and Bristow start losing contracts as they find themselves unable to crew their antiques to fulfil contract requirements . There are many jobs available outside Nigeria now and, along with many other people, I'm one who's looking elsewhere. Soon, I hope to be just an observer on the WNIWA thread.
