Don't know about CHC but strong rumours that at least one pilot and some engineers want to return to CHC because Bond is not what it used to be - no overtime and "you vill do as you are told" mentality. Not quite the right time to do that though!!!:{

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be eh? Fancy working for a company where you have to do what you're told by the people paying you - disgusting.

Contradictions for lack of better term is CHC’s big problem...they are so strong, they don't realize that their attitude is their biggest obstacle to long-lasting success.

Kinda like OLOG huh?
The old Bob Sugg's school of management thought process....need a pilot...just go to any Bourbon Street gutter.....funny how they fail to catch on that times have changed.

CHC will undoubtedly go the way of all previously large and arrogant Canadian operators through the years and simply implode.
For whatever reason, it just doesn't seem to be part of the Canadian operator's psyche to know when big is big enough.
What will be worth watching, however, is how the company reacts (read informs shareholders) when the first cracks in the armor start appearing.

.........my info is all third hand, but normally correct. I would be shooting in the dark on cause vs. effect ( Talisman ? )
Ian McBeath has resigned from CHC
The Ozzie big hit'er aint no more, and in his place is Mr Keith Mullett.

He surely can't have been pushed after such a short time. He must either have realized he was on a no winner or he has been made the scapegoat for previous poor management.
What difference would it have made if Dobin had picked the red management team after the takeover?

Quote: "first cracks in the armor start appearing"
I think we are already seeing that. I listened to a recent CHC shareholders conference call and they brought up their cash position and how they want to improve it. It's not good when a company is short on cash, it's usually a sign that there are other underlying problems.
