In yet another attack in the Niger Delta, this morning a large number of armed gunmen attacked the residential site at Agip's Brass Oil Terminal. It's reported that they killed one person and have taken 3 expat hostages.
Meanwhile, CHC and Bristow pay lip service to the security of their staff. Lots of talk and no action
.
The visit of Christine Baird to Port Harcourt may result in a number of applications from CHC pilots to Bristow being withdrawn. In fact I hear that there may now be several more Bristow pilots on the verge of going to CHC due to the lack of anything but vague and unfulfilled promises from Bristow management about the new roster and pay deal. Naturally BC only spent 1 day in the 'Tropical Paradise' There's no talk and no action on the Bristow side and when was the last time any senior Bristow management went out, visited frontline bases and talked to the employees?
. They went to Eket, but it took the kidnapping of 2 of their employees to even get them to do that - talk about keeping in touch and being 'people persons'.
