Bristow Nigeria Losing Pilots

Bristow Nigeria is yet again losing pilots, both expatriate and national, for a variety of reasons, including the danger of catching Legionnaire's Disease (something which nobody has so far caught even in the cr*p ADA shanty town in UAE ). With the CHC deal in Nigeria now far more financially lucrative (even more so for LAEs), many pilots living out of suitcases as they transfer between Shell operations or 76 operations, I can see them getting a lot shorter very quickly. It looks as if the movement of pilots from CHC to Bristow last year will be reversed this year. Never mind, I'm sure 'PeeWee' has a stack of applications a foot high on his desk . I'm sure that once the CHC EC225s arrive, a few pilots from down the road will be looking with envious eyes as they fly offshore in their elderly AS332s. Pass the maple syrup boys
