In a difficult business climate SH and the rest of the new COIBU team are struggling in a difficult business climate, a lot of competition and uncertainty as to the direction the revised top management team of Bristow is going. Too many of the people at the top keep changing (except for Bill Chiles) and there's uncertainty as to what other changes are in the wind. All of this speaks of poor leadership from the highest levels of the company, continuing poor communication between the highest and lowest levels and a lack of clear direction and future intentions to the lowest levels globally. The departure of Burman seemed a good thing, JA already seems to be making a difference for the better, but nobody understands the power plays which have ed to the departure of RS or MJM. All the employees really want to know is; what's really happening, who's really running the company now? Where are we going?
