Whats wrong with Shetland Beef?
Summary of that link - long-term SAR captain demoted to co-pilot, contractor co-pilot told his services not required for at least a year.
Appalling over-reaction by CHC. Hope they are both re-instated when Bristow take over again.

BBC News - 'Meat stop' helicopter pilots flying again
BBC News - 'Meat stop' helicopter pilots flying again
Two coastguard helicopter pilots suspended for stopping off to pick up meat from a butchers during a training exercise are back flying again.
Paul Bentley was demoted to co-pilot after the Shetland-based search and rescue helicopter landed in an Orkney field in April, but has now been restored as captain.
Steve Gladstone, who was a contract pilot, is also back at work.
A campaign to have them reinstated collected thousands of names.

I didn't see the campaign to have them reinstated, but glad to hear it has happened. Doesn't alter my view that they shouldn't have had that severity of punishment in the first place though.
