Presuming the 169 vacancy is nhv starting to man the contract I'd expect more vacancies to follow.
standing by to be corrected
IIRC babcock lost the blackpool contract to nhv last year but nhv couldnt man it, so the customer took a 1 year extension with babcock until nhv could sort things out.

How can NHV win a contract (that they have presumably convinced the organisation that they could perform standing on their head at a much lower price with far superior equipment much more competently) and then once awarded it say "Oh sorry we can't do that just yet"? No wonder the industry is in such a mess.

There are enough pilots. Plenty of pilots. But some companies insist on not paying for the requisite training. NHV for example will not touch anyone without the type rating.
The industry is full of 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ examples where the client accepts the fact the operator can not provide what they claimed they could. Our friends in yellow provide another example with the Dutch SAR contract...

As a recent CPL/IR pilot with low hours, it certainly doesn’t feel like there is a lack of pilots. Many operators have said no so far.... NHV actually being one of them - as mentioned, might be the lack of type rating.
Just wait for the IAC to be announced....
Archie Bethel, chief executive of parent company Babcock International, speaking on a 12 February half-year trading update, said that the business “does not intend to invest further to stay in that [offshore] market”.

I just presumed the Babcock statement about leaving O&G was just a bit of corporate bluster a few days before a potential contract announcement. I’d doubt the oil companies would want less operators fighting for their business, especially if they go back to having to pay Bristow prices if nobody else can provide the aircraft.
