Woodside Petroleum

And the winner is:....................................................... Oh so close.

Looks like the sleeping giant is going to have another nightmare.:D

[Loose Mast Nut]

Oh my goodness.

The Flightless Bird reigns supreme.

Let’s hope all the Poms get sent home.

However the Kiwi’s are killing this country because they are cheap? , wonderful, ?

Those Bean Counters in St Georges Terrance could not care less……their retirement package is all they care about. (remeber they are from Europe, on loan!!)

The Aussie Pilot suffers again.

Bring your local member to task you wimps, before you retire flying that wonderful R22. (They are just cruising with their thumbs tightly secured)

Bet you don’t.

LMN.

[RVDT]

Don't forget the Canidiots.

[kwikenz]

You might find that the 'flightless' bird employs more than a few Aussies.

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good yarn though. :ugh:

I think you will find that there are more seats for suitably qualified 'Aussie' drivers than there has ever been.

Putting a stop to boat people and Trans Tasman refugees aint gonna put you in the seat of a Super Puma if all you've done is 200 hours around the Rock in a 44.

Instead of removing the 'thumbs' to whine about immigrant labour to your local member, do an exam or two... naaa :mad: it exams are hard, just blame everyone else instead! ;)

Has Woodside actually been awarded or you lot fishing for bites... like the one above ? :ok:

[Heliringer]

What is this thread about?


If the Woodside contract has been awarded could you just tell us who won it, please.

Thanks for any info:D

[heli1]

C'mon Heliringer.It's obviously Dodo and Emu Aviation Pty ,based in Sqauckland .

[nonac]

heli1..... ye know to much :eek:

[Shell Management]

Woodside follow the Shell Aircraft model to safety so no doubt they will make a sound choice and any management of change will be smoothly made:ok:

[Chopper Read]

Perhaps if the Aussies could produce a better level of service they wouldn't have to look overseas!

[P2bleed]

Nice one Shell M. It's a shame but the real people do actually believe this.
:D

[movin' up]

CHC look like they have the dubious pleasure of bending over and taking it in the ass from Woodside.

Better get used to nominating the stairs a week in advance!

[Heliringer]

I suppose this will lead to a bit of recruitment, which can only be good news for anyone trying to get into the offshore side of the industry.

[dodgy1]

So does this mean extra jobs??? Does this new contract call for extra aircraft to what Bristow supply now?? And will Bristow pilots just jump on over to CHC????

Just wondering how this will affect the Aussie job market...

[kwikenz]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the language used doesn't seem to definitively state that CHC have the contract?

Assuming that they do, as far as I know they are pretty over the top with drivers for current work. There's bound to be some movement at the station but not as much as might be hoped.

Woodside has the potential to grow though, so maybe in a couple of years there will be a greater need.

[Quickdraw]

CHC has won the Woodside contract to commence as of June 2011 with 6 aircraft 4 x EC225s and 2 x AW139s aircraft based out of Karratha and various other bases along the Northwest Shelf of Australia... :D:ok:

[Epiphany]

You won't be so happy once you have started working for Woodside! :E

[Heliringer]

Why is that Epiphany?

[movin' up]

You won't be so happy once you have started working for Woodside!

They are the most difficult client to work for on the whole of the Northwest Shelf.:yuk:

From friends at Bristows, it's the best contract they could ever have lost. CHC may have gone in cheap, but all they have done is bought themselves a big, costly headache.:D

[twisted wrench]

Woodside probably wouldn´t be a difficult client if the marketing departments would stop over selling the aircraft and agreeing to terms that are difficult to meet once you start operations.

[chcoffshore]

You've jinxed it now Can't Hold Contracts will now loose something else in Europe!:}

[industry insider]

I am sure that the new Woodside Aviation Adviser will make sure that CHC performs to the letter of the contract.

[Driptray]

Hmmm, he sure jumped ship quickly....nothing like a bit of first class leadership for the crew in KTA

[dodgy1]

So just to clarify for all of us...

Woodside Contract been awared to CHC and will be 4 x 225's + 2 x 139's from June 2010?

Currently Bristow and HNZ/HA operate this Woodside Contract with Puma's, 76's and 2 x 139's which are HNZ/HA's?

Rumour has it the 139's have stopped working and HNZ/HA struggling? Anything to do with CA jumping ship?

Any clarification would be appreciated...

Also wondering if all this above is helping or hindering the Aussie job scene???

[dodgy1]

CHC now advertising for Cpt's for the Woodside gig...no FO advertisements.

Must be full of FO's already...

[Heliringer]
