Here we go Vital actions....firstly, ok, take on contractors if you need them, but Bristows gave them 12 month contracts, knowing they were about to take over contracts from CHC in 3 months time
Second, most ex-pats flying abroad are there because there are NO suitable locals.....this is not the case here in the UK with qualified pilots facing redundancy
British jobs for British workers...Amen to that...try getting a job in Norway flying the North sea and see how well they protect thier own...and look at the difference in pay (even taking into account cost of living) and conditions and how well they are treated...
Next the visa's for our visiting brothers will be extended to 2 years, then 5, then YOUR pay will be cut in half, you may lose YOUR job... see how much you would defend the company then, whom, if they could, employ completely from global for crap dollars a day, they would
365 guy...BALPA were not much help at Blackpool because NO ONE bar one or two guys were in BALPA!!! Some of the stand up guys took Bond to court using a employment lawyer and won a good settlement!!
I cannot believe Bristow's are lowering themselves with the likes of Bond in this very similar instance
