Yea that is it. Norway has a population of only 5 mill and a whole lot of oil which then gives good T's&C's.

Unlike Scotland with its 5.1 mill people and the largest oil reserves in the EU where we get treated like .

The simple fact is that the unions in the Scandi countries are real unions, who have power to negotiate and not only consult like this Mickey Mouse BALPA union that we have here in the UK, who legally is powerless to make any real changes in then industry.

If you are used to work in the UK or other places where unions are with out power then CHC Scotia/Holland is probably ok. If you are used to strong unions the you are in for a big shock.

In the end if you have 200 hrs CPL+IR+ € 110 000 in dept then you will go and work for CHC or anyone else anyway, because you need hrs and £$€
