Phone Wind,
Your statement with which Sasless concurs so much is especially true in Nigeria. Whether or not anyone totally agrees with the direction the puppeteers in USA have taken Bristow, while the Operations Management of the past remains the pilots are at their mercy. It is impossible to count the number of promising careers that have been cut short due to some perceived slight or personal dislike. The world is full of ex BHNL National and expat pilots who have seen the writing on the wall or been hounded out.
Oni is the hope for the future if he can grasp the nettle and make the changes everyone knows have to be made to allow talented people to advance, not just those liked by Ops management.
