Expats still have a long tenure in Escravos. Caverton is probably never going to be able to support that Chevron contract...nor does Chevron want them. There are no Nationals flying the small ships (407's). The Nationals are all on the 412's....with a number of Captains as well. The Escravos contract HAS to remain 4/4 due to high flight hours and limitations of 7-day and 30-day flight time restrictions by the NCAA. Many pilots there run out of time and get extra days off on site as a result.
Escravos camp sucks....but it's a pretty secure job for the Expats that remain, and is probably Bristow's most profitable contract.
Very few Expats left in PH, and Eket is under the gun as well. Lagos has the 92's and they fly.... and fly....and fly. Question is whether the S92 Expat Captains will stay on 8/4. I wouldn't....and I left the company this year with the Voluntary Separation Golden Parachute, seeing the writing on the wall.
