Market Forces
Good to see BHA repsonding to market forces. They're finally waking up to the fact that you can't just go and shake the pilot tree any more. Pity the other two current Australian offshore operators haven't done the same. CHC pilots still waiting to hear from management after the NO vote and Jayrow with their first crack at an EBA going nowhere because management think a fair offer is a CPI increase Nov 09!!
A smart GM/MD would be looking to secure their current workforce in these times of expansion one would think, particularly with a new operator entering the scene. Only one is doing that. The other two may find themselves unable to man new contracts they might win, or even cancelling flights on their current contracts. I'd rather have a secure, happy workforce than be faced with possibility of industrial action.
Bristow is now that much more attractive to those of us that live on the east coast.
Does anyone know what HA will be offering?
