CHC have a few more casualties in Adelaide to put through the wringer first. The remaining Adelaide operations will shortly be under the same spotlight as that their collegues recently experienced. Unfortunately for the people invloved, the decisions have already been made, there is just a bit of role play remains to take place.

Well they had a perfect opportunity to utilise some heavily experienced staff in the suggested process of ramping up H1 ops and save a bucket load of money in retrenchment payouts. Funny that they decided not to. I'd hang my hat on there being nothing in the romour you have heard.

Those that have been affected were not able to demand any pay rise each year, they had been subjected to a pay freeze on more than one occasion in the past and simply had to be grateful for the 2-3% they were given from time to time. whilst those around them on EBA's managed to squeeze double figures.
You get dead wood in any organisation. Although the dead wood you refer to often pulled a rabbit out of the hat to save the day, when all appeared lost.
My predictions are not based on any scientific theory, more simple facts from a couple of people very much in the know.
Only time will prove me right or wrong. I am not a betting man, but if the bookies were taking bets, I think even a scientific theory would be backing my prediction.

Re AW139 Captains.
Won't they need to advertise in Australia first before they start looking at overseas contract pilots?
There are no Australian based pilot jobs advertised on the CHC webpage at the moment.

CHC Global will not be recruiting or supplying pilots for the Woodside contract. This is an Australian contract and as such CHC Australia will be responsible for it. I would be very surprised if CHC Australia advertised for or recruited pilots from outside Australia for this or any other contract.
Prepare to be surprised, Woodside is very much a Canadaian run global project.
Only if demand outstrips supply can a company then apply for work permits.
This ain't unique to Oz either, it's the same the world over. There are no touring GO pilots in Europe, there are no CHC Scotia pilots in Norway, there will be no CHC GO pilots in Australia unless there's not enough qualified and experienced Aussie pilots to man the aircraft.
CHC GO exists because they operate in countries that don't already have sufficient pilots/engineers/managers to run an operation.
It's not a bad time to be an offshore pilot in Oz, things are looking up
Have CHC Australia started recruitment for the Woodside contract. I have seen the criteria on the CHC jobs page but has anyone been called forward for testing and interviews, or since I have not heard anything should I assume I've been unsucessful on this occasion?
