Very funny to see how people react to a new company, out of the big "three" of the NS ...yes you can do the job despite the fact you're not CHC, Bristow or Bond and you're from Belgium...
They are a lot of things you can manage easely when you're not too "big"...this is the point...

Talking

Tophelius

Im with you "small is big enough"

Its simple their customer focused and there's NO Bulls**t! a bit like Bond used to be when they were that size.

Maybe some of the local pilots should apply for jobs with them at Norwich, they might just enjoy going to work for a change?

bladegrabber,

obviously you have some grudge against CHC which is affecting the objectivity of your posts and therefore devalues the impact of them as it sounds just like sniping.

so what happened then, how have CHC offended you?

Good luck to NHV and their crews, they have been around a while, and the good thing is they need more pilots!

What contract (if any) will the 155 be utilised on ?

Any clues to what contracts are up for tender at the moment or what contracts are coming close to tender ? and have NHV tendered for these with N3/155 ?


Thanks HHE
Will a second 155 replace the N3 when its delivered ?

Hey Bladegrabber...

QUOTE: "Its simple their customer focused and there's NO Bulls**t! a bit like Bond used to be when they were that size."

Yea right, so customer focused they used to tell BP their sole use aircraft was unservicable,pay the small penalty and then rent it out to another customer at much higher ad-hoc rates MORE THAN ONCE I can tell you............

Good ol' Bond....just hope NHV don't break the rules Bond used too just "to get the job done"

Can't comment on NHV, only time will tell.....

Dont bear anyone at CHC a grudge they still fly for us every day just making the point that all their customers know too well and if you want to PM me im happy to show you the performance reports to demonstrate my objectivity.

NHV are a good 3rd option for the SNS and if they maintain the level of service they've shown so far they should do well.

I meant the Bond of the 90's not the recent reincarnation....

As for playing tricks with sole use aircraft im afraid their not the only operator that does it and they usually go to either the highest bidder or he who shouts loudest.

Bladegrabber, I WAS talking about the Bond of the 90's too...but a leopard never changes it's spots ................

As for sole use, don't know of one Bristow or CHC event where that has happened....
As I say. Don't know about NHV, they may turn out to be good, or another "get the job done at all costs, no rules, scamming Bond type company".....

Ok Chaps,

NHV flying from Norwich , what is the story? how can they operate so much cheaper, how can they, in their words "get more flying done with their crews".

Does the FTL not apply here?

Whats in the rumours they are not allowed to fly in certain parts of europe?

someone must know.
What's it to you anyway????

just interested really, didnt think it would cause a stir. I fly offshore with them on a very regular basis, and we have all heard rumours, and they have had a couple of teething issues, so asked the question, as if they worked the same rules.

no problem with them, they are reliable, just wandered what everyone else thought.

I remember when Bristow was a company where most people got on and did the best job possible, were enthusiastic, worked on projects such as passenger briefing systems in their own time. It seemed that everyone had tremendous loyalty to the Company and did not limit their activities for the benefit of the Company to those items written in the contract.

Let's hope that the BEAN COUNTERS don't get control of NHV as well!

I did PM you and I know that at least 1 other person did too, and both of us have recieved nothing.

if you are going to make these statements, it would be nice if you would deliver on them.

please can you let me know when I will be recieving the reports?

regards

Cool

So what contracts do they have now and they must be bidding for more...............I believe they have just merged with the high hierarchy of Heli Holland offshore and bought their new EC155. Only heard good things about them. A hungry company doesn’t take their customers for granted!
