B-Bill I think you have the history of the "Old" Bond wrong. The initial sale by the Bond brothers was to the Norwegians HKS and the Bond name and involvement was kept. CHC (who owned Brintel) then bought HKS this was when the Bond influence was removed as Brintel management became the dominant force. The merged companies became CHC Scotia and the red and blue crews merged into one entity.
Even though the Bonds used the phrase " we are all one family and we will look after you" none of the sale proceeds filtered down to the work force who had helped Bond become a successful company
. I hope the present work force is treated better
