nooby,
The Bristow health plan is pretty much on a par with the CHC plan and is provided by CIGMA? Don't know about Capt T but the Captain I know who was shipped back in considerable pain was booked a business class seat because he needed the room for the discomfort he was suffering. Areta's a pretty boring place period - as are most places now that there's a near-universal curfew. Nothing curious, the engineers I know who have shifted to CHC have all done so for the money as junior engineers in CHC earn more than junior engineers in Bristow. Pilots move the other way because Bristow pays more. What's curious about that?
