Rumor has it that they're just going to award it based on the alphabet so it'll definitely go to Aero or Bristow or CHC .......... or all of the preceding

NEO,

You're absolutely right about onwing's comments. At the moment Aero are flying to it out of Port Harcourt, but Bristow are doing the real long haul flights out of Lagos with 76C++. CHC have sent some guys off to France to pick up their new EC225s which are (maybe) leaving next month, but Bristow has also already trained some engineers and has pilots away training on S92. A number of engineers have left CHC because they're not happy about being passed over for EC225 courses and quite a number of pilots are unhappy about the number of pilots recruited straight from the French military because they're been flying them there - however, I'm sure the new guys with no experience of Nigeria are gonna just love it over here

What's all this about trouble at Eket? I've heard the Chief Pilot there was fired. Who did he upset? Is this old Bristow re-emerging
