Hah,
Couldn't happen to a nicer pair, though I doubt Barrer Stuff and Smeg would know or respect the difference between a sub peanut and a peanut butter jelly sandwich.
The whole history of this contract in Cameroon and Chad has been one of fraud, incompetence and cock-up from start to finish back from when Schreiner first started it and had to fire a certain manager because of missing money. When boy wonder went there he refused to talk to the CCAA and then wondered why nobody got Cameroonian licences any more (then got promoted to a great job in Brazil). The CHC take over was even more disastrous as they knew that they knew it all and no-one could teach them anything about operating in Africa. (It really helped sending one of Smeggie's chums to Nigeria who couldn't even pass a drug test
). I hope the 2 of them finally get what's been coming to them for a long time. It'll be interesting to see if the recent take-over of CHC by an American company will make them have any real business integrity (and a few executives going to prison normally really helps with that 
). I'm hoping to see more revelations and some proper ass-kicking as this plays out.

Hey Buckee, long time no see. Did you hair grow back in a mean time?
“Certain Manager” was there to run the business. And he did. If it wasn’t him, Schreiner would have not been in Cameroon at all (and Chad operation will be just an ACN outpost). Nor would be CHC in Cameroon. Maybe we should blame him then.
He was not interfering with Operations or trotting around like a big boss. Just run the business (no, he was not selling Douala chicken meat to Ndjamena restaurants).
Two Head Clowns in Hoofddorp wanted to get rid of him and used a petty excuse to fire him. He left, all started going downhill and trend never reversed.

Certain Manager was the one who say everything can be run with all aircrafts on Equatorial Guinea register. At least he talked with people but wasn't a very petty excuse to fire him when €30K couldn't be recovered. Boy Wonder couldn't even get his computer programmes to run, but is being looked after by somebody on high. I expect Heli Union will be the ones to benefit from it all. At least the French usually know how to conduct business in Africa.

The News seems to be a new poster, probably CHC management trying to discredit posters like CB by saying they bat for another team. Well, no matter which team a player bats for, doesn't make him blind to what's happening on the pitch, no matter which side is in play. The players he's talking about as are unpopular in most CHC Global operations as they obviously seem to be in Cameroon as I haven't seen any posts from anyone springing to their defence 
.
Rumor is that since the new owners, there are going to be many cutbacks in CHC Clobal and that Capetown is likely to be pruned back considerably, as may a number of other overseas operations. This is most likely to be support staff as there always seems to be a shortage of pilots and engineers. I wonder if this will include canine support staff. Over the coming months it will be interesting to see whether CHC is really going to be kept on as a going concern as-is, or whether barely profitable divisions will be sold off soon and others pared back to the bone to make them more profitable before getting sold off.

Much though many may love the ever charming Barrer Stuffed and wish him well, it seems that the rumors of CHC's demise in Cameroon are rather hasty. However, the operation there is a total cluster-fcuk

As usual this forum is so full of rumors they would displace the vipers from a sack of snakes. We are still fully operational in Cameroon, Messrs Clegg and Barraclough continue to have the full backing of management in smuggling whatever they need via Dompta or any other airfield and our employees are authorised to carry whatever we think they need to on our behalf in their suitcases. We spit in the milk of the Cameroonian CAA as we always have done - who do they think they are? We pay the bills and we call the tune there. The Schreiner management were weak and craven, thinking they could win just by ignoring these petty bureaucrats like governments and regulatory authorities. We're in charge now and we learned a long time ago in Africa that we just have to kick sand in their faces and tell them not to Fcuk with CH(u)C(k).
Captain Buck was a whinging, toady, whistleblower when he was here with Schreiner and he just can't accept that Yanquis aren't the only ones who know how to kick butt. Let him go back to his geekie toga parties and leave real life swindling to the men around here.

Holiday Pay and other things
Heh Dobbin,
Don't spend all that cash just yet, you still have to pay outstanding holiday pay and other entitlements you stole from your expat pirots in CAMEROON and CHAD.
Canadian Industrial Relations are looking into the matter and are coming after you, pal.
How's that old slapper Christine telling us we dont need a union cause CHC have an open door policy, bahhh. How would you like my knee in your labia maximus, scrubber.

CHC Pigs helping themselves
This link is from the Canadian Legal institute website.

Have a look at the management helping themselves to the money and then you'll know why cHc have to steal holiday pay and other entitlements from their employees.
CHC have now decided not to pay sick pay to pilots that are on limited benefits packages. What next?

Get back the winning team of Mani and Nabil who made aero the success it was in Nigeria before the arrogant, we-know-it-all-we don't-need-any-advice-from-you CHC management took it over and ruined a good company (Schreiner)

VLF,
Then if you know that you should know that despite anything Schreiner management did, Nabil and Mani were the only people here in Nigeria actually making a profit and keeping the whole Schreiner ship afloat. The old Schreiner management was pretty poor, but considering the scale of their operation it's amazing that the bunch of clowns who replaced them have even lasted this long. How on earth did CHC ever get itself to the position it was in before the recent start of its decline?
