TT Reserves

Hey Rotor or anyone else, is there any truth to the offshore reserves in TT being questioned at this time? Goodnight boys.

Oh dear trouble in paradise again
I had a great time when at Galeota, until BHL won a huge contract in the North Sea and brought me back to Aberdeen Only spent 8 years trying to get back to Trini when that happened
Sounds like the move up to Piarco and change in conditions isn't going down too well then

Piarco

My Friend,
It was nice to be at home when we moved to Piarco, but the Glory Days at Galeota are certainly gone...the company is nothing like you and I once knew. I doubt you'll find a single soul willing to go the extra mile....in a nut shell.....it's a SXXXHXXX....

ps. still riding...

Just found out JW is still the Managing Pilot there (I thought he retired to McD's a few years ago)

For anyone joining the operation, just make sure you have everything agreed to in writing from him, otherwise that old amnesia trick may surface

Several of us former BCL & BIAGLites were bitten by that little trick

Seeing that some others posts have been removed, I assume the thread has been moderated, I guess their claims were unsubstantiated

No, it's probably because the truth can be a bit abrasive.

No, they were moderated for the very good reason that PPRuNe will not allow libelous posts.

I have given this thread a great deal of leeway for a while now, but enough is enough. I will not only close the thread, I will delete it entirely if there are any more repeats of posts naming individuals, or even hinting at names, in a manner that exposes PPRuNe.

Talking Alas !

WELL !

QM,

You are correct, the man at the Helm of this sinking Ship is as stated.

There is a propensity to over use the "Captain" title !!!!! among the, no longer airborne heirarchy.

The rumours of abuses of company stationary is all too clear, apparent and obvious !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm,

Well if there is actual evidence and witnesses, then an official report should be made to the UK HQ. They will investigate

Evidence !

The operation is under control from other than UK !

Now operating as the South American Business unit or part therof.

Allegations had been made through the " Hotline " and directly to the business Manager and an investigation undertaken.

The management apparently has the full confidence in the Operation as is, despite the concerns of the people "on the ground".

So thus all the negativety stated here.

What to do ?

So ST the rumours / allegations have been investigated. 'The concerns on the ground' and your negativity seem misplaced. If those concerns were not backed with any evidence during an investigation than perhaps your motives in raising it here are dubious.

Moderator - you mentioned locking the thread. Now might be worth reconsidering that.

Well, if everything was investigated then as Zalt says, not much point in talking about it.

The only options available are...

1. Accept the findings and get on with it
2. Walk

This thread has been a source of great amusement to those of us in Trinidad.
As we read the whinging and whining in Flt OPS, we can put a face on the poster. Not much different than when they were here.
I do agree that vindictive postings should not be allowed. Not much different than when they were here.

Bristows Trinidad and Tobago B412 pilot contract?

Been looking at the Bristows Bell 412 contract in Trinidad and Tobago that has been advertised on their site for ages. It pays nearly $9000US a month and yet they can't fill the position. What's the score?? A colleague who used to work there says they get shot at regularly, is this the reason?? Last time I visited it was a laid back place and an ideal place to work/retire to. Any thoughts?
