Shell Southern North Sea Contract 2012
Some interesting reading here, with the changes from 2014: http://www.acas.org.uk/media/pdf/t/r...ACCESSIBLE.pdf
Why is there even a discussion about TUPE? Dancopter lost a contract, CHC won a new contract.
Now, if CHC had bought Dancopter and inherited the contract, that might have been a different story. But TUPE doesn't even apply in all of those cases.

It isn't a new contract, it's only until 2017, ie a continuation of the existing contract. A bit short termist yes, but I suppose as Shell have demonstrated that they can exercise a 90 day clause for reasons of convenience, which can never be questioned, maybe CHC are happy with 2 years

Situation 2: Outsourcing and contracting
The TUPE regulations apply in the following situations:
● a client outsources to a contractor
● a new contractor takes over activities from another contractor
● a client takes activities back in-house from a contractor

I think we have a good picture of Johni: 5 foot nothing, hand gestures in the pub, maverick pilot! Good call on the CRM comment! Probably failed the Dancopter interview and very secure in his job. Lets hope we don't lose this chap off the North sea as it would be tragic!

TUPE or not
This thread sums up my understanding of the TUPE rules and aligns with what I have actually seen happen on the N Sea over the last couple of decades:
http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/391...-question.html
The 2014 changes to the TUPE regulation don't seem to have changed the basic premise much. A check of the guidance material available on the ACAS website shows that TUPE will apply if:
1. The employees are deliberately organised by the employer to provide a service for a particular client.
2. If the same work is being performed, with the same equipment at the same premises.
There are other criteria, but these two indicate to me that TUPE will not apply with regard to this contractual change.

The grass can be greener......
......you just have to make sure you keep it watered !
It would appear that no matter of watering would have stopped DC from losing this particular contract

So not a new building at all - so before anything is said about false rumours, it's on the way!
Think yellow would be a nice colour for the Aberdeen wildlife, might put some brightness into the place!
Think on the 'bright side'!

Is this a special way of valuing a company ?
With revenue last year of $1.4bn CHC is still a billion dollar business. Investor perception and actual value are different. Shell is a $400bn revenue firm but is not valued that highly either as a business by investors.
It's rare for industrial companies to have earning multiples of more than their revenue owing to the likelihood that their revenue will be similar next year. By comparison, a tech company might be worth a lot more next year as it might grow rapidly and investors factor that into their pricing today.
Dull but largely true.
CHC is still a right sh!t show though...

Is this criticism from CHIRP unprecedented?
CHIRP Critical of an Oil Company's Commercial Practices
This is Shell and Dancopter right?
Was the TUPE claim ever resolved?
