Lagos Update.
Just spent some time in Lagos and seen quite a few Bristow, Aero and Caverton people.
It looks as if Aero helicopter people are either going to be absent from Lagos for a while, or have just gone already, as their contract with Petrobras is just winding up. They seem quite happy and there's no great queue forming to go to Bristow or Caverton. Some of the guys were withBristow before but got laid off from Eket for being over the age of 57. Despite being offered their jobs back again (and at more money than Aero pay, they don't trust Bristow at all (with good reason if the 'new' Bristow is anything to go by) and will stay where they are. In Lagos they have a reasonable staff house with a nice bar and a swimming pool, though the staff house is so full some guys are being 'boarded' down the road. The big problem is that there has never been any recreational transport for the helicopter guys when they're in Lagos. In Port Harcourt they have transport, but no swimming pool, though a lot of the pilots go and play golf or squash on their days off and Port Harcourt has a much better social scene than Ikeja. People are still unsure what CHC will do for (to?) them in 2005, b ut at least they're investing in more machinery with at least 2 more S76s and2 365N3s scheduled next year (wonder where they'll get the pilots and engineers as they're already short). A number of their people in PH were in Cameroon before and say that Douala is suffering from an exodus too, with people disliking it so much now, they're even going to Sudan and living in the desert
Bristow now has a permanent rotary presence with the crews for the Bonga contract flying the Super Puma. They also just had a new S76 delivered last week (still on the 'N' register). They have a good deal, as although they work 7/5 (compared with the 6/6 for most Aero people), they get more money and have more facilities for their time off. Some of the crews are living in the Sheraton Hotel with all its facilities and the others live in the BRC (Bristow Residential Compound). This is in a pretty 'dodgy' looking area and the rooms aren't great, but they do have a swimming pool, tennis and squash there.
The Caveron guys obviously have nowhere of their own because most evenings they're to be found either in the Jolly Sailor, the Aero bar or the Bristow bar. They say they have nice flats (but don't know anyone who's actually been there to confirm that). However, they're a long way out, somewhere near the Guiness brewery and they have no bar, sporting or social facilities of their own. Must be pretty hard when they work 12/4. It's no wonder they now seem to be down to only one pilot and a couple of engineers. They say they have some ore guys on the way from various places. They have a single contract with Nigerian Ports Authority for the 109, but it doesn't seem to fly much. It also seems that HPB was right to some extent about the A109 because it doesn't have sliding doors or opening windows so it's almost useless for photography and doesn't have floats so it can't go more than a few miles offshore. It's good for taking one 'market mammy' a sack of garri and a packet of peppers from Yabba market to Ikorodu - and there's not too much of a market for that right now
. Maybe when/if they get their Victoria Island heliport finished things will improve for them. There's still work going on there so it may be finished in a few more months unless the money dries up before it's finished as it does for so many grand schemes in Nigeria 
I'll try and get some more rumours about Port Harcourt when I'm next around.

It is rumoured that the Caverton Ops. Manager, Bob Evans, was in the Aero hangar in Port Harcourt yesterday wearing his uniform and a big smile with not an A109 in sight! Looking to get his job back perhaps? I was also told by an engineer (of the civil variety) that work had stopped on the Caverton heliport. Updates, confirmation, rumours-anyone?

ColdFiltered,
Seeing the size of 'Uncle' Bob these days, it's probably better he was wearing his uniform and a big smile rather than just a big smile
He and the other Caverton guys are seen around a lo tin Lagos at Aero and Bristow, so maybe just seeing friends from the old days, especially if as MM don say they have no recreational place of their own.
When I drove to VI yesterday there were people working on the site of the Caverton heliport so I don't think work has stopped there. Maybe it's slowed down over the holiday period.
I also heard about the Astar in Maryland, but I haven't seen it yet.
All the people in Aero are wondering what's going to happen to their pay in 2005 as the hot rumor is that they'll get paid in US$ and they have no idea what exchange rate CHC will give against the euro - expect defections to Bristow if it snot good .
The other problem Aero have is that they have quite a few pilots over 60 and CHC official retirement age is 60. They already have problems getting enough pilots for Nigeria so maybe they'll have to do what Bristow do and retire pilots then re-employ them as contractors (and I hear that's usually at lower pay and with much less job security

I was in a low and unsavory establishment in Ikeja, a home for happy mariners if the sign outside was to be believed, though none were to be found either in its dusty grounds or its flashy new discotheque.
However, a number of regulars were telling the tale of a pilot from the newest Nigerian operator who last month was racing around the grounds, completely out of his tree, chasing a local person of the opposite gender who he claimed he wished to marry! It seems she had declined his proposal. They say he's also been banned from the Bristow BRC and managed to empty the Aero staff house bar a number of times. He seems to have disappeared now so maybe he's no longer in Nigeria.
Sounds like a bit of competition for Dink
Haven't heard any more about the Astar in Maryland, but there are rumors that Caverton may be looking at one. It also looks as if they're opening up a base at Port Harcourt as the building at the NAF base next to Pan African has been renovated and some of there people were seen looking around it last week. However, as they seem to be down to only one pilot now I can't see him being able to operate from both Lagos and PH

Despite the fact that they're a Nigerian company, I don't hear of Caverton Helicopters employing any Nigerian pilots or engineers. Is this because they aren't recruiting Nigerians or because the deal they're offering is no good?

Tokunbo,
The sort of behaviour you are describing could be called 'ebullient', actually. So it must have been someone else. Me, I have never heard of the Jolly Sailor, and none of my friends neither.
Is it true that someone is going to be opening a bar/restaurant in that cargo 747 parked on the west side of the passenger terminal?

Caverton were offered a highly experianced pilot of Nigerian nationality who would have been an asset for the rather ebullient Director of Operations that left in September.
The fact that one of their two pilots was seen out of his tree at the Jolly Sailor Stables (Whore House) and drunk as well is not exactly riveting news. The Company couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery as it has no idea what it's doing apart from having spent about $6million and a 1997 A109E, Big hangar with a floor that looks like the Atlantic Ocean during a Storm........and a bunch of people, actually alot of people who just think it's wonderful to get a big salary tax free, and basically do nothing!!!!

HPB...
Caverton has no monopoly on drunk obnoxious staff...seen quite a few in other staff houses.
Whats the reason for your great concern in Caverton's spending habits....any skin off your teeth here?

Nobody could confuse you with 'The Ebullient One' Chuks, despite the fact that when he was in Nigeria he was famous for the number of Yankee dollars he could lighten himself of at the Inebriated Matelot whilst amusing, wining and entertaining its charming and sophisticated clients The person I heard about is rather better known for just generally ****ing everyone off when he has a few 'Cold Filtereds' under his belt
HPB, how can you possibly call The Jolly Sailor a whorehouse? Have you ever visited? It now even boasts a 'Cool Bar' where gentlemen of taste may partake of a few Cold Filtereds without being bothered by unaccompanied persons of the opposite gender. I don't think the company would wuish to organise a piss up in a brewery as the Chairman is a Muslim I believe.
SASless, I believe HPB may be being a bit shy about himself and may have been associated with Caverton in the past. His feelings about it seem to be rather similar to your own often voiced opinions about Bristow

Disappointing that people appear to be running down companies they worked for in the past..........
Sour grapes perchance ?
I don't think the perfect company exists, even the big fixed wing boys like BA etc would find fault, but if the money goes in each month shouldn't we at least be content ? After all, we could always vote with our feet if we feel that strongly, rather than just moan !!
As for Caverton, I wish them luck. A bit of competition may do the other two some good !! It would certainly give them a kick up the rear end and cut down the complacency they display towards their clients now.
Cheers & Happy New Year.

Tokunbo....Call the JS what you will but you can't change a leopards spots....just mask and hide them. Yeah...was associated with Caverton and competition is healthy especially for the two major dinosaurs in the area. But you have to get serious about how you do your work and how the investment money is spent.....Nig Ex pat......you sound like a smart a**ed strap hangar who thinks flying heli's is a job! And who said Muslims don't drink. Wine and Beer is not alcohol when drunk in the privacy of your own home....yeah, Right!!!!Go visit SA and get on the Causeway to Bahrain on a Friday Saturday night.................and smell the peach schnapps inthe air as in breath of the returning SA walkabouts!!!

Gotta watch that stuff...
I ended up running down a company I went to work for in the future! Several times, even. So I guess I flunk as a career consultant. So sue me....
I rather enjoyed my visits to the Jolly Sailor. I thought those girls were just passing the time with me, attracted by my Clark Gable-like looks and my sparkling wit. The subject of money never came up, actually. Of course I did leave early. Even without beer goggles they just looked too good, so that I thought I might get in trouble.
If you like it rough, check out the Port Harcourt International Airport Hotel. Woof, woof! The Ikeja girls are geishas by comparison.
Caverton is just one of those local mysteries. Wait and all shall be revealed. When? 'Any time from now'. It sure does help to pass the time, trying to figure out what is going on there. I am sure no harm is intended, even if a few reputations do get a light grilling.
And, anyway, what's wrong with a job at the low end of aviation? We can't all be aviators, you know....

You say that Caverton has no idea what it's doing. That may well be true as it's a new company owned by people who are completely new to the aviation industry, although I'm told that most of the directors are economics graduates of British universities. All companies have to start somewhere and even the mighty Bristow, though it was started by an aviator, had no commercial experience when it started as a whale spotting company. I believe the new Managing Director is a Geology graduate who also presumably knows little about aviation. Most private helicopter companies in Europe are run by people who know little or nothing about aviation and they either hite consultants or set up aviation departments manned by aviation professionals to do the job for them.
Companies like Caverton, new to the business hire specialist consultants and advisers to give them that knowledge they don't possess themselves. If you were one of those advisers it would seem that you did not serve them well
The rumour has it that they will be bringing a couple of helicopters later this month (Dauphins I hear) and starting a shuttle service in Port Harcourt. It's mentioned on their website and they already seem to have a small terminal next to Pan African at the Port Harcourt NAF Base. Their Ops Manager was seen in Portugal by a couple of the Aero pilots who were out on leave.
They do seem to have been around for a long time and doing very little, but aviation is a difficult market to break in to and you can't expect them to just be up and running like a Bristow or an Aero who have been around for 40 or 50 years. If they have already spent as much as you claim it would seem to indicate that they are serious and setting up a proper infrastructure before starting to operate, though I do agree that the A109 seems a strange choice for starting an operation. If and when they do manage to get something up and running, instead of knocking a company which is trying to start up and will offer more employment to people in this industry, lets wish them every success in getting their venture off the ground (no pun intended)

Tokunbo,
There is a diffence between slagging off a previous employer and telling the embarrassing truth about a previous employer. I suggest I am prone to do the latter.....and to date no one has jumped up and countered what I have had to say about my Nigeria experience.
When I suggest binning pilots strictly due to their age as being contemptible....as happened on the North Sea and again at Eket....no one denied either the events or the description I made.
When I suggested the Bristow arrogance about safety records was not supported by performance....especially when I made the comment, ACN had not had a fatal accident and Bristow had several on the ledger....no one disputed that either.
No one jumped up to defend the saltwater washes that led to so many 76 engines being binned either.....
The list goes on....but no need to run up bandwidth reminding you of the past.
In defence of Bristow....they did finally make changes in Nigeria...some good...some very good...but did leave the job undone.
When I described the world's oldest and most run down 212's....I recall the Shell Engineering rep rejecting two of them as being unfit. Saw that with my two own eyes....telling the story is not slagging off a previous employer. A long chain of events like those....led to me being an ex-employee along with a lot of other pilots that left for safer pastures.
I knew the outfit in the old times...when it was the best place I have ever worked....the current Bristow falls far short of the old one. That is the truth....and not slagging.

Hey SASless, unlike you to be so tender I never mentioned you had been slagging off Bristow, just that you have strongly expressed opinions on them. I also worked for them when they were a decent company and my feelings about them are exactly the same as your own. I believe that I may have left because of the very same person as you.

This HPB sound like many of expat, especial American I ave seen come to Africa, learn nothing and leave quick with only bitter memories. Then they spend all of their life running down the place. I don't know if that is how it is, I am sure he will correct me if I am wrong. But Africa is like a wife - she take a while to get to know. Some people get divorce before they can ever get to know the pesron.

HPB,
Offence the best form of defence, eh ?? Your stance is a bit weak, all you appear to have been doing is defend your bitterness over your own failure !! Smart a**sed I may be, but at least I still have a job, and not as a strap hangar either. Lots of people come to Nigeria and talk the talk, but not all of them walk the walk

What's new in WA
Talking of walking the walk,
We hear very little MM of what's happening in operational/flight safety/infrastructure improvements in WA. Sometime last year a B412 of Pan African crashed whilst on a night medevac. What happened? Were the bodies/aircraft recovered? Was an accident investigation carried out & if so by whom? Have the results been announced & if so where can I find it?
With fraternal greetings, ambi
