malabo,
You are sadly misinformed. A CHC pilot in Nigeria starts and finishes on year 14 (as that's their maximum seniority and nearly anyone with more than 100 hours on an R22 is on that
). They're only paid basic salary when offsite. A Bristow year 5 Captain makes almost identical money to a year 14 CHC Captain (and yes, with all the guys who've crossed the line there are figures to back that up
) and he then has the possibility of an additional 20 years of seniority payments to totally outstrip his CHC counterpart. What you actually mean is that someone with CHC only actually earns $102,000 per annum (you haven't stated whether that's yanqui $ or maple $). Even a year 4 Bristow Captain earns more than that and the same money is paid into his account whether he's in, or out of country
You obviously don't understand chuks' interesting sense of humor
Maybe you should get out a bit more
