So there aren't exactly hoards of pilots and engineers breaking down Management's doors to take up the 8/4 option at CHC or BHNL. I wonder why ? Could it be that the compensation for a 35% loss of leave/longer work period doesn't quite compute with a 20% on
BASIC from BHNL and a pro rata, i.e.
NOTHING extra offer from CHC ? Arrived at with the flick of a senior manager's pen no doubt.
There are also murmurings (which will quickly become roars) in BHNL that the promised loyalty bonus which was to be paid in December wasn't and hasn't been mentioned or written about since. Not forgetting the accrued leave which was to be purchased and paid in the same month. Not the way to treat people who are already teetering.
CHC appear to be playing catch up, trying to counter whatever BHNL offer by matching it and then adding a few dollars. But the us and them attitude of their management rankles with the coal face guys. Until it changes people will be looking around Arreta and wondering if the grass might just be greener elsewhere.
Here endeth the lesson
