AMP,
I worked on the Shell contract many years ago (not in EC155 days) and loved it because there was no ttoo much of the boring offshore stuff with only water to look at, but the thing I hated about it was a number of pilots in Warri in particular who had anger management problems probably related to alcohol abuse which gave them an over-exaggerated macho attitude, wouldn't allow copilots to touch the controls and tried to run the place like a personal flying club. From what I hear from people still in Nigeria (but it seems a lot are leaving anyway) Shell will be inheriting some of those problems. What's poor about WASBU is that they didn't deal with that problem when they had the contract.
