Yes I probably do, but it wouldn't be wise for me to elaborate in details, if you catch my drift.... Let's just say I know what I'm talking about.

The way you react tells me you must be very pro-NHV...? Am I right? One of the few, so you must be Belgian. That's cool, you're forgiven. Like you said, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Some are only just more valuable than others.

P.S. I didn't read in the users agreement that your first post isn't allowed to be critical. Did it pass your ethical code?

Ja ik werk voor NHV, en ik neem aan dat jij een ex werknemer bent van deze mooie club? Ik krijg de indruk dat het bedrijf waar je nu voor werkt een verlies heeft moeten incasseren, jammer!

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand a word of that... Running it through google translate though tells me you work for NHV. You might wanna be careful announcing that on pprune... People might not take you so seriously anymore. And no, I don't work for CHC like you tried to imply, but I can tell you I have lot more respect for these guys than any pilot from NHV.

Shell SNS - wait and see.

Incumbents should always avoid complacency and trying to rip off their customers. Clearly that is what Wintershall reacted to.

Chaps,

Take it elsewhere. This is the 'Professional' Pilots' Rumour Network. It's not a slagging wall.

Your insight into a company's internal workings is indeed very interesting and may well prove to be useful for those of us who are weighing up our prospects in the Offshore sector. I'm positive however, that the reputable companies I'm sure you both work for, wouldn't be quite so keen to see a squabble going on in such a small community forum as this.

Tea anyone?

My Target. As you work for NHV could you please tell me how many times per year your 155 pilots attend simulator training and which simulator they use please? No ulterior motive here - just interested. Thank you.

Well put. I agree. I apologize. Didn't want to start this childish discussion, but our Belgian friend didn't leave me any choice by reacting the way he did on a perfectly fine fact based comment. I understand though that that's not nice to hear when you work for them. But hey, the truth hurts some times, as this will sure go for the pilots that now face possible redundancy.

Epiphany. Good question! While you're at it, ask them what kind of MCC they apply, how their Part A, B, C, D looks like, how they interpreted WRR, what their roster is and what they pay their pilots...

Oh, and just for fun, ask him how they react to a pilot when he reports sick...

MyTarget?

Torquestripe. For short-term contracts the aircraft doesn't have to meet the full shell requirements. For example, Dancopter flies for them, but apparently they don't have crashworthy fuel tanks, which is a shell requirement. This is all hearsay from Bristow, so could be wrong here.

NHV crews DO NOT go to the sim in Marignane once a year. They rarely go if they go at all.

And if anyone is interested in joining NHV, please do apply and see what they have to offer... LOL! Before you sign for this amazing deal though, double check what's written in your contract, because you might be in for a surprise.

And then if you do go for it, you can expect NHV to be very accurate, precise and timely with their payment.

There are reasons why NHV win contracts SNI and those in the know in the offshore industry understand why. It doesn't seem to bother the oil companies though. NHV will continue to win contracts by bidding lower than anyone else and they will always find people to work for them. C'est la vie.

The oil companies talk a good talk about safety and quality but their actions are all about cheapness unfortunately

Sorry mate, you are not good informed, they do go there, exactly once a year.

Understandable, but you do enjoy to continue.

Dear SNI, I do not know you as you do not know me but after all your unfriendly sayings and half truths I might still be able to respect you(yes,I work for NHV).I don't know where you collided with NHV,don't have to know either, but I do not appreciate it when one generalizes. There are good one's and bad one's, everywhere, if it's CHC, Bristow, Dancopter, NHV,... We're all in the business to make the best out of it with the means we get.
