Northern Star,
Yes you are right, the allowances for bond certainly (don't know for sure about the others) are a lot better per day compared to scatsta - In the region of double I believe.
With respect to the current economic climate we certainly deserve to get better allowances & most importantly a match to other company allowances (certainly for remote base operations).
Bondu made an interesting point regarding "best deals" within bases & how it swings in roundabouts which is 1 of the reasons why a few of us have applied to go back to the mainland. The allowances certainly are far from satisfactory. Equal time on mainland & along with the prospect of being home every night certainly does it for me!
Its just a waiting game for those who want to go to aberdeen as they have to be replaced of course!
happy days
