Rotarary,

I suggest you have a loom at the posts on the Arik/Vk/Aero thread on this forum as it seems a fair bit is happening with CHC in Nigeria, though nobody seems to have said whether they're staying in partnership with Aero or pulling out yet.

Nabil and Mani are back? What is next? John Fenton back in Chad/Cameroon??


:}

I very much doubt it. Nabil and Mani haven't been brought back by CHC, they've been brought by Aero because of their previous successes. Even CHC surely wouldn't want to get Cameroon even more screwed up than it is now? Though, on second thoughts looking at some of the people they brought in, maybe Fenton would look pretty good - at least he's never been a crook and has some integrity and I hear he's well thought of in Brazil.

Sick pay,vacation pay
 

Hey brother,its allways a pleasure to read your threads mate.Especially when you back it up with nothing but FACTS.Its time these ****heads pay up and meet the real team.It sure will be interesting on how CIRB finally rules on all of this and looks like it will be in favour of all CHC pilots.Some of the pilots are going to their own pockets because of a per diem that has not been increased in the last 7 years.Great management heh?How about all of us who must tell all of the different airlines we commute on ,that we are SHIP Captains travelling to and from work.Having to provide fraudulent papers in order to earn a living?How about some of us who are basically threatened with dismissal when asking for STATUTORY HOLIDAYS not PAID including VACATION PAY and of all things SICK PAY..Sounds to me like its time these scrubbers get a kick in the nuts.Hang in there LOLITA,we,ll be pinching the same titties together again someday....:cool:

Bob Schreiner turning in his grave and cursing
 

Since folks in SA are really worried, here is something for them. Heard CT Regional Office will close completely and "new" office will open in Hoofddorp and will cover both Africa and Europe. Like in the good old Schreiner days.

Sick Pay??
 

Hey Dash-Cap,

I think everyone is entitled to sick pay right?? Its legal entitlement.
Who is not getting sick pay??

Thats sick!!!!

It's not just sick pay - the 2 year bonus payments have been 'postponed' because of administrative problems :yuk:. Sounds like the beginning of the end :{

Actually Mani isn't back with Aero. He's still with CHC and continuing in his role of being sent to all the places they've screwed up when they've taken over to try to undo all the harm their new wunderkinder have done. I wonder if he'll be able to find Nigeria's missing multi-millions :eek: ? He's here in Nigeria now and after crying to see just how much all these wunderkinds have messed up, he must also be laughing at the fact that these arrogant maple huggers have had to ask back the kobo man they so despised that he was disposed of in an unseemly rush, to sort out the garbage pile they've made of the operation here :{ ?

CHC Cape Town
 

If the rumor is true I hear that Everett in Nairobi are expanding and looking for experienced crew, would be worth sending CVs

All I can say is that JL, who I knew very well, must be turning in his grave with what is going on here. Very sad.

Does anyone want to stick their neck out - is CHC Africa a good place to work as a pilot if you stay out of the office and will the pending changes be a good thing for the company going forward?

Hover Junkie,

Since CHC Cape Town Office closure is not a rumor anymore, this thread should be closed.

Or just continue as “Heard CHC will close all operations in African continent”?

:}

So what will happen to the crews, aircraft and contracts? Will they be incorporated into the global ops?

Remember this is just a rumour network :ooh: CHC may be closing down an office and they may be getting cut back in Nigeria, but I doubt they'll be closing down

Dollars & Disasters
 

pookie - the short answer to what you are wanting to know is:

Money & time out are competitive - all the rest is a very big disaster and getting worse not better.

Rumour
 

Rumour has it, things are back on track......maybe, just maybe everyone will be smiling again.

No No No - Keep The Fool In Africa !!
 

NASTY RUMOUR? - We know why you are smiling Goffel.....
We heard that you cowboys & girls are trying to banish the Barrafool back to our happy HO forever - dat not nice :{:{:{

I hear now that CHC are selling all of their Southern African operations.....

Do you know whether that includes the fixed wing devision as well? The fixed wing devision did really well at some stage.

Do they still have those Convair 580s? Use to fly on them in the 1990's :ok:
