You almost make it sound like Bristow management changed the contracts from from 8/4 to 7/5 then 6/6 out of the goodness of their hearts.
The only reasons for these changes were simply because:
a/ The clients stated that for health and safety reasons, 8/4 was simply too long to be working in Nigeria which is why their employees were already on equal time and
b/ Bristow was losing too many employees either through sickness, stress or simply people getting a better deal elsewhere.
Yes, many people will stick it out on the new enforced contract but do you really want pilots and engineers who are not happy at work, getting tired and stressed at work and are only there until something better comes along?
All in all, it's not really in keeping with the "Target zero" mantra is it?
