I think you will find that when CHC took over the Coastguard contract from Bristow they behaved a lot better
Your comments about Pilot's lifestyles perhaps illustrates how badly Bristow are acting - imagine the stress if one finds the means of supporting that very imaginary lifestyle is threatened.
We accept that CHC has lost the contract and the status quo can't be maintained and if Bristow had come clean at the very beginning and said OK - only 12 pilots and they are A to L ( instead of BALPA breaking the news in a Friday newsletter) then that would probably have been acceptable but 11 days to go and no names in the frame for permanent jobs - well what do you think?
