Dancopter wins Shell contract!
Finally things are clear, Dancopter wins Shell contract over Bristow! This means not only the NAM-North sea but Shell WORLDWIDE! All Bristow / Shell AOC's have been revoked as per januari 2012! Congratulations for all involved at Dancopter!!!
It is still not clear if Dancopter has the initiative on all other sites besides Den Helder but for sure engineer recruitments for NL and UK are set for monday the 7th of may .
Time has come for the big operators like Bristow and CHC to meet with the small but nasty threats like Dancopter, NHV and Heli Holland. Purely because of arrogance, management overkill and uncontrollable long supply chains their dominance is systematicly turning agains them. It's like allways that the small ones push out the big ones to eventually become to big themselves, ending up with the same fate. It's just nature!
CHC has indeed lost the Wintershall contract already and is therefore trying to relocate or possibly fire 15 pilots and started stopping all 1-year contracts for approx. 10 engineers to make their operation redundent again.
While Wintershall is not running smooth at the moment rumours go round that they are gonna combine flights with Total. This would mean that the lost contracted flights and ad-hoc flights will return to CHC. For the engineers that will only be too late, they find themselves applying for jobs outside Holland. They will most likely be smart enough not to return to CHC again untill they have finalized their transformations.
