What's New In W. Africa (Nigeria)

[graculus]

Tomorrow is D day, decision day for Bristow personnel, who have been asked to state whether they'll be taking up the company's offer of continuing employment or Caverscam's offer (if they have one - and if it bears any resemblance to what they thought they'd been offered). Some pilots have already accepted staying on with Bristow and have gone on refresher training in Dubai, possibly because the company just announced the Addax contract renewal for 3 years and upgrading to Bell 412EPs (will this finally signal a farewell to DD?). There are also quite a few pilots away on AS332L2 courses already, probably to crew up the aircraft which arrived a week or so ago.

I'd say Caverscam will find it hard going crewing the contract with properly qualified crews in just 12 weeks time, considering they don't seem to have much of anything - except Aero in place yet.

The thread about payday at Arik Air on the African Aviation thread makes interesting reading and may be a sign of how things will go with Conscammer
