Bye Forever
 

The Scottish Lad has obviously hit a sore nerve. I've been monitoring the last couple of threads and I have to say that it seems that TRINIFLYER may be a new comer to the wonderful world of aviation.

He/she, more likely she, really is clueless to the fact that when someone leaves their family/home to come over to work, they need to be compensated in some way. Expats do have lives and families that they leave behind and separation is difficult, but you would not know that as copilots like yourself have never had to leave MOMMY AND DADDY behind. It's quite normal to expect to pay expats a salary that would make it worth their while. Face it, without EXPATS, you would not have the manpower to keep those contracts, or benifit from their experience. 150 hrs on a Robinson isn't experience by any strech of the imagination. So I suggest that you and all others like yourself SHUT it until you've been thru a war/conflict, survived enemy fire and paid your dues........

Well said, Camelman,
This has been a regularly occuring theme on numerous threads.

The local pilots get their knickers in a twist as to "WHY, OH WHY do those bloody expats who come here to take our jobs and wives/girlfriends then drink our beer get paid SO MUCH?? We want to get the same money they do, for the same 6/6, 4/4, 8/4 etc etc roster they work!!"

No one ever sits down and calculates that these expats on that roster with the hours they rack up will actually fly up to their limit for the year and in some cases over the limit, nor do they give a moment to consider that those same expats give up literally HALF their lives with their loved ones to come and do the jobs that a lot of the smaller, often dodgy operators COULD NEVER DO on their own, without the same expats they moan so much about.

One more Thing..
 

If they take the time to look at the roster, they'll see that someone on a local rotation gets the same time off as the expats. It may not be all at once as a 56/28 guy but the time off is still there...and in most cases the major holidays are credited to their leave.:)

TRINIFLYER I dare you to dispute this......

There you go, then. Now all they need is the same expat salary to spend at home with their families.:}:}

I doubt those on the current departure list are leaving due to the lack of time off. Most will be motivated by the Money and of course experience.
I would wager that the main reason for leaving will be the opportunity to escape the bu:mad:it that the BCL management causes them to endure.

No one can condemn an individual for the wish to better their life and experience through financial gain, unless you are of the marxcist persuasion.

Good on those who have made a decision to leave or are in negotiation, You will be all the better for it. :D

For those who want to know, The Group has a myriad of opportunities.

Make the Call, and ask for a transfer !

For those who do not have the correct licence, experience or type,

NOW YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE IN TRINIDAD ! :ok:

ST

Go on guys, apply!! I DARE YOU!!:E:E

Then, when you find yourself sat in the hotel in Eket or the RA in Warri and the shots are going off just down the road you will look back on your time in TnT and realise that the only reason the grass is greener over the fence is because there is more to fertilise it that side.

GO on, if you want the Expat life, grow some cojones and take the plunge.

Mr. C.A.Jones is probably required for Nigeria, but I think a little common sense will surely land you a better job elsewhere. :O

Quick question Scottishterrier: you seem pretty peeved about BCL's management, local pilots, and Trinidad in general.....so why don't you leave, "oh great experinced expat that's left family and friends behind to get paid more than a local boo hoo hoo, yada yada ya"??
Just wondering, as I spent a few years there and voted with my feet :yuk:

Rotorheads,

First and final warning: any more racial attacks/vilification, and this thread is history :=

Senior Pilot

Leaving
 

PEEVED.

With management, not at all. Critical, you bet your sweet life I am.

With Locals, Not at all, disappointed you bet your sweet life I am.

With Trinidad, Peeved eh !. Trinidad does have its limitations, even the locals recognise this and have given me their view.

LEAVING

You know I may well just do that ! :ugh:

I have deleted my last.

This was merely a commentry on my experiences.

You are correct this should not be the place for much of the previous posting.

Apologies for the necessity of your involvement.

Moderator, if I caused any offence, my humblest apologies!:O

Scottie, don't you know those standards only apply if you do something wrong and they need a stick to beat you with, and not as a moral compass for manglement?:=

STICK
 

unbearableLoad.

This surely cannot be another situation of one rule for one and one rule for another !

Surely Mr W E Chiles when he put pen to paper or dictated his PA, was serious about this, considering it was required to do the test and sign the code.

Even our esteemed Moderator can see that this is a legal obligation !


Could this be the reason the dude from IT got fired over the BRISTOW SONG !!

OH MY GOD a get out clause


:ugh:

I believe there is a rumour of some Long service awards at BCL. :ugh:

Step forward Cadets !



ST

Long Service Award........
 

Croiste mon, I comin' fuh mine......;)

Boy, I Tell Yuh.......... Yuh Too Late !

Terriere,

My experience of the code predates Mr Chiles, so it's hard to gauge the NEW improved version of the leopard's spots.

unscrambled code

Are you suggesting this is the ultimate recycling ? :rolleyes:


Will the long servers recieve their awards prior to departing to Global Vectra ?
