Why would there be any reflection of Dancopters reputation? The blame lies entirely with Shell. If they had awarded the contract with sufficient time for the new contractor to prepare then there would have been no problem. Shell know this which is why Dancopter still have the contract and will within a few months be performing as they would have been had the contract been awarded 6 months ago and not 6 weeks ago.
Of course it would have been easier for BHL as they already have the infrastructure and crews in place. Unfortunately for BHL Shell decided otherwise. Unfortunately for Shell they awarded the contract at the last minute and will now have to accept a slower start.
In relation to your statement about Dancopter TC's and salary I find it hard to believe that someone who professes to know so much about these things has no interest in joining Dancopter.
