So there was little reason to panic after all.
Sometimes those people standing back can actually tune out the negativity that people in a blind panic emit.
It amazes me how many people are prepared to comment and show such negativity, when this whole affair doesn't affect them in any way.

I reckon Shell Management should pop up to Humberside and let his views be known face to face. All very well saying 'stand back and it'll all be okay' What a knacker!
Shell Management? I know which school of management too!

If shell management really works for Shell then it explains why along time ago a Red company didn't bother bidding for Shell contracts. They made more money ad hocing to repair the messups that Shell management made by trying to micromanage their main helicopter supplier
As for the Humberside issue both companies have behaved poorly during the transition process - only 2 days to go and I don't know if I have a job or am being made redundant
Got a letter from HR though thanking me for the good job I have done for the company for the last 20yrs and how sad they were to see me go
, unfortunately the cheque seems to have detached from the letter

Who is ‘Shell Management’? Who is this person who apparently has such a detailed and intimate knowledge of helicopters, operators, clients and personnel that he feels quite free to dispense criticism, innuendo, information, suggestions and advice to all and sundry on three continents? See his postings, which more often than not elicit rebuke as it does here in this European forum, in ‘What’s New in West Africa (Nigeria)’ and ‘SkyShuttle 139 Ditches in Hong Kong Harbour’. Who is this guy?

All,
Shell Management ("Mollusc Management", as I prefer) appears in many PPRUNE forums, and elicits similar responses from many subscribers. My advice fwiw, "Don't react....while you're re-acting". There are those, who just for the intellectual fun of it, will always take a contrary view, SM is one of those. Don't encourage him or feed his habit, ignore him - and he'll go away.

Well redundancy/retirement now beckons as I leave Humberside for probably the last time
I must say that I have enjoyed my time there, flown with some very able and professional pilots and am glad that most of them have got what they wanted. I hope the other members of the 365 brethren also get what they want.
I will think of you all at 0600 as you report for a dark, maybe wet and windy flight out to the RN or Cleeton
I will miss the cheery banter with the engineers who gave me a safe and serviceable aircraft to fly over the cold N Sea, though not the dreaded " there will be a ground run on EU at 2200" and the Ops staff/rampies who always remembered to remove the chocks.
I wish you all the best with your new jobs with Bristow/Global/CHC.

JD, it has been a pleasure. May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand. Oh, and please be kind to me on these forums....

Come on JD, don't have us believing you're not grinning all the way to the treasure chest buried at the bottom of the garden!!
Hope you have fun ground running up North.
All very odd yesterday, one A shift crew, one G shift crew. No fighting over the food, loads of room on the ramp, no queueing for fuel. Simple, unchanged program of flying....no fun at all!
