After all it is always Bristow and Bond who follow the lead given by CHC
Absolutely right, which is why it's CHC who are taking over the contract and not not anyone else... The other two are constantly paying catch up.
A senior manager in Bristow said recently he "couldn't understand why employees weren't staying with Bristow when we're almost paying the same as CHC." Go figure.
Bristow have offered employees a retainer worth about £2800 if they stay with them whereas CHC have offered an allowance, which to some, is worth £50,000 over the 5 year contract! The others will be no worse off than with Bristow.
I believe that the guys manning the transition team have not been guaranteed positions on the flights when the transition S61 to S92/AW139 is complete so CHC can't be that short of pilots.
I think you'll find they have been guaranteed positions somewhere within CHC Europe!
