Nstar,
Two captains left late last year for berths in Aberdeen and I believe a co-pilot has just resigned to go to pastures new.
Having had the 'best deal' in Bristow for many years, and always replying with the answer, 'You can always apply to work in Scatsta' to anyone who complained, maybe the boot is now on the other foot?
Two weeks away from home can be be a pain, I know I have done it (in fact I often spent three or four weeks away from home on another job). But it does mean using someone else's car and petrol for two weeks, no 0600 reports as at Aberdeen and finished most days at 1800 at the latest, not 2130 as I did in Aberdeen last night.
As always, in any company with different bases on different routines, it is a case of 'swings and roundabouts'. Sometimes one base has the 'best deal' and then its the turn of a different base.
Cest la vie (or something like that!)
