Before this thread gets too screwed up with strange postings, just understand that Bristow is by far the best helicopter company for engineers, other than some of the exotic far east operations. Interesting work, great guys and a somewhat paternal company. When Airlog came along things did change, i.e. a more top heavy management, less understanding of what helicopters are all about and a cost focussed approach to business. UK based helicopter engineers are the best in the world at doing their job and Bristow knows it. Easa, with Health and Safety are making life difficult but at the end of the day the individual skills win through. I enjoyed 35 years with Bristow, on and off and have no regrets so go for it.
