KN,
Knowing one of the Departed from his time as a Greenie....if the Peter Principle is valid....he has finally found his level of total incompetence.....which only tends to confirm my suspicions about HSE Programs.
I can think of one old time Bristow Engineer who has gone on to become a very capable and experienced Quality/Safety Professional who would be a very good match for any of the vacancies and who is well known in the Aberdeen area and International circles.
I would strongly recommend him for any position within that part of the Bristow Management Structure as I know him to be very capable, affable, and a very nice guy in all regards.
