Thumbs down

Rumours of lots of money being owed, partly because of non-payment to ACN. As usual Mani brought back to sort out results of incompetent CHC management who don't understand Nigeria. Nabil now Operations Director having come back from retirement. CHC don't like Koen Head, but the Ibru's do! On RW side, how long will the Squirrell carry on living in Intels luxury while most others live in Areta squalor?

Bristow just as bad. People leaving because of discontent about unfair local allowances, cr*p housing in Eket and Lagos, pay falling behind CHC, antique helicopters, cowardly HR managers leaving base managers to make staff redundant leading to threats against local managers and a possible breakdown in security as badly treated junior staff help militants to get revenge.

Both companies still heard nothing about Agbami because of problems with NNPC and both still assuring employees that they will be the ones getting awarded the contract.

The return of Nabil has the potential to get Aero back to its previous position where it was an attractive proposition for CHC to purchase. Of course, now CHC has also been sold there's a real possibility that it could be broken up and sold off

Lots of instability and uncertainty in both companies out here right now
