Aero is a Nigerian company and CHC is not a majority shareholder. CHC does not dictate Aero's local benefits but helps local demands endlessly with
loads of cash. Everybody knows that since CHC took over Schreiner, most of the local salaries tripled in a short time...
Leave CHC alone and ask Ibru family to review your status and benefits. If they can afford it, that is fine. If they can not afford it but still agree on all demands and eventually run our of business that is also fine.
The same would be if, for example, Kenya Airways ask one of the foreign shareholders (KLM, has 20 something %) to provide some crew on the common type due to shortage of pilots and local, Kenyan pilots ask for the same and nothing else but the same benefits as KLM pilots.
There are quite a few companies in the world where foreign airlines have shares and help run local airlines. Would Air Madagascar pilots ask for same salaries and benefits as AF just because Air France has 3% in the company??
Or would Air Tunga Lunga Captain ask his Tunga Lunga boss for the same salary as BA because when he went to London he had to land in the same fog as his British colleague on the same type?
Of course they can ask but they might not get it. This is capitalism and no space for social issues and emotions.
