SASless - Since Bristow has just peaked at 80% of market share in Nigeria perhaps they have been doing something right since they became lessSAS! That share is going to drop but I guess Shell would rather be top dog at Cavity-Dancecopter's and keep their Shell Aviation advisers busy.

You need to realise that a lot of the invetment in New Iberia (which is almost Lafayette!) was milked out of the potential profits from Nigeria, Aberdeen, Trinidad and so on by the Louisiana Accountants and their little internal scams (plus supplemented by a few local government handouts).

Meanwhile at the Shell IAs the facilities are provided by Shell and reflect Shell's true attention on safety.

If you recall the Air Log African Adventure controlling PAAN was ended after a mire of tax scams, terminations and legal bills (and a missing aircraft too). Perhaps a timely reminder of what Cavity-Dancecopter's future might look like.
