Shell Aircraft job

Sorry I have been off the grid from a few weeks, but feeling a bit better now, at last!

NKRD you are on the button. 25%+ pay cut is just not realistic. Also no duty pay or overtime, and I hear these guys are working their gonads off. They are short staffed. One guy went to BP for a massive payrise, apparently. I do not get very positive feeling for the future from the couple of guys I managed to chat to informally.

Pity, as I thought it could be a good fit, but seems they are losing their edge. I know they come in for a lot of criticism here, some valid, some not so valid, but they are clearly no longer the leaders they think they area.

The money sounds good to those of you who haven't been flying offshore N Sea for a generation, but it is crap in comparison.

I didn't hear that they had found anyone yet, but eventually there is always someone who will work for less than the rest.
