Anjouan,
Real Bristow used to have a final salary pension scheme which many of us are now beneficiaries of.
Including me too but unfortunately the World has changed as I am sure we are both painfully aware.
My only point is that we have to compare the available options today and I still believe that compared to the likes of Aerogulf/ADA/Gulf etc. we are still on a better deal with Bristow/OLOG or CHC/Aero and if I was in the position of Loav8r - I know where I would apply.
