212man....take DB's post and shove it where the sun don't shine...along with an extra chip for your other shoulder.....you know nothing of my background, how hard I have worked(and fought on the ground,not in the air!!)..... in my earlier years...I may not have been to Helmand or Iraq (this time round)but I've done my bit...I was not given this job from mummy and daddy,and I'll be damned sure I won't give up what I earned for crappy middle management and super rich oil companies trying to squeeze blood out of everyone....
DB, absolutely spot on.....

212 Man
Big respect 212 man. You are probably....and I do not say this lightly..A COMPLETE KNOB.
Rotorknight and FredFri.......Don't waste your keyboard time chastising what can only be described as the "juice of a pluke".
We all know waht this is about....A LINE IN THE SAND.
We know where the line is.
WE FIGHT TO KEEP IT THERE!!!!!!

Can I suggest we ignore the N American based pi__ing contest re 'my FTLs are worse than yours' and 'I earn way less then you' yada yada - all I see is big chips on shoulders and jealousy.
With regard to the main event I'm with DB - this attempt by management in CHC hasn't come with any degree of explanation/justification it's just standard 'old skool' big-stick management style and, have no doubt, if we roll over and take it on this, it'll be the thin end of the wedge. If there was a degree of candour or trust demonstrated then the situation may be different, however, I think we all feel that there is a hidden agenda, probably biased towards job losses.
The BALPA negotiations that resulted in the lifestyle roster were balanced and considered, there was an element of 'give' in the pay award for the 'take' in lifestyle - if the damagement want to take the lifestyle back they had better be prepared to give something in return.....

I believe this is a rumour network?
Whilst peering over an aviators shoulder recently, I note that a well known large North Sea Helicopter operator is under major financial pressure. External management Consultants are being used to re-align the business model with a more 'mid-Atlantic?' style of autocratic management. True?
Unfortunately, this isn't going down suitably with the troops in-house and has one wondering, is there about to be a major re-alignment of North Sea working Terms and Conditions for all of the North Sea operators, if these intended plans are put into place? Is it possible that if one large enough company gets away with this, the others will follow suit?

Hey Coning angle...the answer is probably "yes"
....if Chc managment get away with it
, other north sea operaters will follow suit...so hopefully,if chc starts industrial action,the pilots of the other operaters will be very wise to support their fellow pilots in every way they can (and we all know what they can do to help)
Cheers.

Pullharder, I have to agree totally. If Industrial action is taken then i'd wondered if the guys elsewhere (same co. but different bases, and also the opposition) might help by maybe not agreeing to help out to plug the gaps so to speak.
I wonder how long it'll be before we see actual strike action on the Norh Sea and also, if rumours are anything to go by, if the oil companies will prevent it by talking to the employer about possible repercussions if industrial action does take place?
I suppose we all sit and wait to find out.
