The service run out of Humberside last year was an all stops out effort by the staff as everybody knew that only the best was going to be good enough to retain BP.
Humberside over an extended period was flying more flights a day with 5 aircraft than Aberdeen was with 15(?). Albeit shorter flights but each flight requires turning round. Minimum age of aircraft about 15. A huge engineering effort to achieve this with old aircraft and lack of spares.
BP is probably about 75% of Humbersides work so the loss of this contract is going to cause major disruption to a lot of lives.
The general feeling is that Bristows will fly it using Humberside as a line station so jobs actually at Humberside will be minimal.
TUPE probably does not apply as it is contract end.
SOX 6 hasn't a clue what he is talking about. W@nker is putting it mildly.
Fingers are being pointed but not in the direction of the Humberside staff, their operational performance and customer service.
