Not that I believe anything of the previous post has anything to do with Bristow Management, but it might as well have come straight from their mouths as it actually does seem to represent what they really think. The problems with the national unions are temporarily postponed, not finished, especially when management pull a new stunt like these new unpublicised positions. What better opportunity would there have been to bring on and train a new Nigerian manager to replace someone who is already past retirement age? Sadly, though the junior, he is the only one of the two managers who demonstrates any managerial ability and who is respected by those of us living in the mud at the bottom of the pond. It's interesting that all this is happening when he is out on leave - do you think he knew what was in the pipeline? Peter Bara is known and respected by most, and had he been appointed as a result of interviews after an SVN was issued, nobody would have been surprised. Eel McSly has come totally from nowhere and will enjoy little respect or co-operation from anybody, either expatriate or national. It's probably not his fault, but his is going to be a difficult job with the widespread resentment his appointment is causing. On what basis was he selected? What previous managerial experience does he have? Why is he any better than a well-qualified, well-educated Nigerian who should be getting groomed for these medium levels of management? How does all this comply with the Bristow Code of Business Integrity? For those who still think the whole COBI thing isn't just a management con so they can get rid of people like Karl, you could try making anonymous reports on the Bristow Whistleblower hotline on
Bristow Whitleblower Hotline or if you're willing to put your neck on the line e mail Richard Burman direct. He's the higher authority to who both Imlach, Weddick and Oyeleke report.
SASless should publish his e-mail to Paul Weddick. Let's see how little has changed and ask why he is in a position to help with Nigerianisation in Nigeria, but seems to be just continuing with promotions on the old-boy network like the Bristow of 30 years ago, not in accordance with the advertised policies of one of the world's largest helicopter companies in the 21st century. As long as practices like this are continued with nobody will have any faith in the management of Bristow, their integrity or their intention to allow any but a very few selected Nigerians to ever advance.
