Didn't BHL not lose out on the Shell contract which they'd hoped to win?

It would be a fine state of affairs if Centrica were to purchase the BP assets in the Southern North Sea, and CHC already have contracts with Centrica.

I wonder??? I have a feeling that the guy running the CHC southern north sea fleet has more information than is public. Why else would a helicopter company, which had just lost it's biggest contract customer, continue to spend money on the terminal at Humberside, renewing the terminal check in facilities etc, and keeping a new AW139 in place? I believe BP already have a buyer lined up, to put out a press release like that. TUPE tranfers for the pilots who just left? Or would CHC do the decent thing and just accept them back with seniority held in place? Also, if Bristows were to complete the oft talked of 'harmonisation', the ex chc guys all get a considerable pay adjustment, and then they would go back to CHC on more money!! This may just be an interesting year.
