I worked for Bristow in the "good ol' days" when the "Old Man" owned it.

He got his Pound of Flesh....but he understood what Loyalty was all about....that it was a two way street.

In those days....the company's moral compass was internalized in one Man, a real Helicopter Pilot in every essence of the definition, and as such Management understood what the business was all about.

Today....at best....that "moral compass" is absent. The Owners and Board of Directors at best might sometimes "ride" in a helicopter as part of their perks and privileges but know absolutely nothing about helicopters per se.

Loyalty in today's business world is to the the Quarterly Report....and nothing that negatively impacts the contents of that Report is going to be allowed.
