Grrr Chc Just Playing Catch-up

All CHC have done is to match the increase that Bristow got in an attempt to not only stop leaving because of the security situation, but also because the new Bristow pay rise made them better off. Are you talking Canadian $, because if so, that's about $US 8,500, which is only $350 a month for risking kidnapping and being held for months by MEND or killed in crossfire as the JTF make another heroic blunder. For all the good it's done Bristow, I don't see it being enough as there's not exactly a horde of pilots and engineers desperate to get to Nigeria. Both companies need to get their act together and come up with a lot more if they're going to be able to even keep the people they have, let alone get in more. BC says he does not want to get into a weeing competition with Bristow over pay and the CHC increase has made sure of that. Who will make the next move?
