Stacey,
Yes Tyreburst is now doing his thing, causing Bristow trouble keeping pilots in Mauritania. Difficult to know which would be worse - working with him again or working for those a**holes where you are
. I think I'd prefer Nigeria because at least it's people, not snakes you're watching for - the smiling (or is that sneering) assasin just turns too many people's stomachs.
Dink, unlike Ed and many other luminaries, is still in Eket, but Asa Ekpan has now been abandoned by Bristow. Many of the guys don't think much of the new accomodation either.
UWOT,
7/5 has now finished in Nigeria and as of 1 November Bristow are doing 6/6 (or 8/4), though nobody has any idea of what the deal is yet, because management have yet to divulge it. As MP says, several CHC pilots have decided that if Bristow management is incapable of making a decision in anything less than the gestation period of an elephant, it's probably incapable of anything. CHC management seem to have realised that if they do nothing, they will soon lose a number of pilots to Bristow, but their record in making fast (or meaningful) decisions is probably no better than Bristows. The Tropical Paradise master failed in all his talk of 'blended salary' schemes and CHC pilots still have to claim their pay electronically every month or they just get basic salary. With the internet being what it is in Nigeria, that's not always easy, but BC thinks this paradise is just like Vancouver with palm trees and a few more robbers
