(some serial whiners will just NEVER be happy).
Idle Des in Dubai,
You write mighty fine O! I will p.m. you HR application form and will send eat and destroy memo to Mac Hammund to reserve the finest house in Coronation Street for your return from your tent. The Park & Rob has had delivery of large stocks of musli and muesli only 3 months past expiry date on the well stocked shelf for only 2 times normal price.
Al Ouette
You choose your name well O! You make too much noise but are very slow and have no power and cannot travel far like the old Frenchy holicopter. You are too angry and you go wound O! You need to chill in the comfort of da cabin (anag)

Then how come that some people quit and walk away from this oh so good company.
YOU NEED TO BE REPLACED BY SOMEONE WHO HAS THE COURAGE AND THE GUTS AND PARTICULARLY THE BRAINS

Tank u Soggyboxes
Soggyboxes - how far?
Like Idle Des from Dubai you are also a fine man O!
Man no be wood O! He needs the relaxations after the hard days doing the biddings of the Scotch Boss and making dealings with the Peewees and Majahs and a spot of fishings for the fresh fish before the evenings of 3P's makes him happy as the pig in the shed!
Bait is not needed for the sprats - they jump on the clean hook.
The tail is now truly wagging the dog.

MR F

I really do not know, what kind of medication you are on??
You maybe sniffing someones a55. No 
You must be up someones a55! Thats why you have da brown ring around da neck!
You think you catching the fish- line and hook? More like the same kind of fish that you made of? Catfish with no brains? A crap eater.. bottom feeder at the bottom of the barrel. As I am sure thats where some of these guys think you are!
Then you need to go and do some research. Your so called alouette helicopter was made by da french" You dum a55!" Maybe you need to become a fisherman and go and snag some thing you know?

Anger Management?
Propspinner,
You too appear to be a very angry man. Is it not time you travel?
In the words of the marijuana growers in the movie Lock Stock and two Smoking Bowels - "Chill Winston Chill"
You will also benefit in your postings from reading the book "Use of correct English for Mature Students" by I. M. Arednick. This will help you express yourself without resort to profanity and the excessive use of the tag.
Education is a fine thing not to be truffled with! Even mechanical mens from disadvantaged countries like the USA can make the improvements even very late in lifes.
If you wish to insult me remember "Revenge is the meal best eaten with a cold"
Lose this anger and stop your crying!

Is anything really happening in West Africa?
Hey Guys,
Apart from Foamy winding up the gullible and possibly temporarily challenged, is anything happening around the bazaars or has everyone given up?
NEO - is Eket still operating or have the lights been switched off?
Soggy - has NAF Base been renamed MEND International?
Biggestboy - Has anyone had a decent meal in Escravos that wasn't hand carried from Louisiana or Prodeco?
Mama Lolo - what of the live band this weekend at Prodeco?
Has anyone actually parted with N150 for a teabag or spoonful of Nescafe at the BRC?
Have Caverton paid the N150 deposit for their new fleet of 412's?
There must be something interesting somewhere!
I've had to spend the last few days on other threads!

Exciting stuff...
As for the meals they were personally delivered by a trusted source. Who can really stand the stale selection of garbage called food in Escravos? Other than that in the words Robin Williams the country is more stimulating than a cup of cappuccino coffee
Has MEND finally agreed that the fight for independence is actually a cover to embezzle themselves and don't really give a hoot about the starving population?
Actually the most exciting stuff is when we get on the plane and go on leave

Its not anger management.. its management. Mr FC.
By the treads I understand you are the HR rep for Bristow's?? Well it seems as if you have more time on your hands reading story novels than books that make the world go round!
If not for the mighty US of A, where would you be today? Fishing of the banks in a dug-out of the Escravos river?, trying to make a living?
Now you drive a company car supplied by the English. Spend the American money $? And take your employees N150 for your own. What a great world you live in? Sorry not world! A very small place in a big part of Africa....o and then in a very messed up city...Lagos? Where's that?
Did you take the time and surf the net for allouette?? Take some time and do it, maybe you could learn a thing or 2??
Allo, heard you are having a great time! Did you get on the plane and go on leave?

I seriously worry that there are people who believe this FC is the real thing - do they think the same of Caverton Management and Bristow management? I hope their powers of perception and ability to distinguish fact from fiction are better honed in the wider context.
NEO, you haven't started writing under a new name by any chance? I think I detect your sense of humour there in the background........

Him him .... him - or not him I don't care
Referring to those illiterate postings of FC...it could as well be him. In my opinion and from experience some managers pretend to work really hard but actually browsing through the net all day, and cause kack.
That said "meen herr" F C, the Alouette III has been around for nearly fifty years with quite a success - will you be? I doubt it.
By the way how is the Nescafe scam going? Shoring up N150 per head, eh. I couldn't be more sarcastic than I already am but the broad spectrum of visitors to this thread should get the idea how the "insane resource department" screwed up this once well oiled WASBU. Should I also thank the Lord that you caused the exodus of the managing pilot in Escravos? By making illfated personnell decisions? You really did it this time, and I wish you well. But when this operation falls apart, and you will be put on the streets, I will remember you. Thank you again.

Tank U 212 Man
212 Man you are also a fine man - you could be the brother of Idle Des with your finely boned perceptions.
Take care with the Head Haunters in the jungles of Borno.
My hero John le Curry taught me in his books like "Tanker Tailor Sailor Spy" of the core values of having the most best informations and my Mules tell me that Alouette is becoming the double agent and has been turned by Honey Pits working for Lou De Lyer. I hold no grudgings and wish him good speed. I will p.m. him with a genuine fake prescription for the valium to help him chill with my Angoolan Brothers.
Am I not real O? Do I not proclaim the topmost values of "Target Zero"?
zero CLA
zero Free coffees and teas
zero Free chop at BRC
F.C.
One Mission One World One Team 3 Pay Scales

Congratulations SirVivr!
Dear Sir, (Vivr)
Please assure us that Airlog Trinidad is paying at least US$9,000 ++ per month for a recently qualified 412 co-pilot for even time (6 on 6 off) Ops and that experienced line guys are on US$10,500 +++ per month. In addition free LOL for Managers and Trainers, Free Worldwide Medical inc. USA and the 7% matched pension fund plus all meals provided and US$18 per day or feed yourself and US$32 per day?
Mark Fontenot was having kittens when he was negotiating your deal & realised what Nigeria was paying - hopefully you Guys (and Gals - wow O are they all as gorgeous as the ones in the Company rag?) have at least a similar deal!
If not - life is not so bad here whatever we whinge about!

Trinidad
Trog:
The pay is not what you heard. Surprise.
The lady pilots are all quite attractive, but will knock your d@&K in the dirt for disrespect. The MD backs them up. Very positively.
Mark has his problems with trying to globalize.
After RVN, GOM, Indonesia, Abu Dhabi, GOM, I am happy in Trinidad.
Whinging and wining are part of the Ex-Pats life.
I found my niche and plan to run it to the end.
Regards,
Chas Alexander

Trog,
The pay in Trinidad is a lot less than Nigeria...also the roster has just lately gone to 8/4 I hear....but with night standby and days off the actual work roster is less than that.
Without a doubt the lifestyle in Trinidad beats hell out of Nigeria and in order to put a dollar value on that is up to the individual.
Money is not everything.
One would think pilot wages would be standardized across the Bristow Business Units and transfers would be possible without a loss of seniority or pay.
Location allowances should make up for the differences in hardship, location, cost of living and the like. (In other words....just like when the old man ran the company!)

Thanks Chas & SAS
Guys,
Absolutely well said to everything!
You have both eloquently made some excellent philisophical observations.
As several eminent "Old West Africa Hands" have said many times previously on this thread - choose your life and once you have made your choice - live it - life is what you make it wherever you may be!
This does not necessarily mean accepting unecessary crap from itinerant or distant accountants or HR people but if you are unhappy, at least stand up to them rather than huddling in your room and whingeing.
This life is not a practice - it is the only one you have! - hand carrying 30 kilos of chop each into Escravos every hitch rather than making a very loud noise to Chevron and BIAGL Senior Management about the abysmal catering standards will solve nothing.
Whingeing on PPrune and becoming paranoid over F.C. (& the like) wind-ups is no substitute for making your personal feelings clearly known in a reasonable and assertive way to your Senior Managers.
They actually are prepared to listen and often agree fully with you but find that they themselves are "lone voices in the wilderness" because the vast majority of employees are meekly accepting and living with the crap that the Managers are being asked or told to pass down the line.
OK - pulpit creaking - must end the sermon here and locate a UK Winkle Franchise for SAS.
