There have been no redundancies announced by Bristows. Not yet at least

In all honesty I don't know what the state of contracts is, I know the local management are trying to come up with a plan to weather the downturn but no specifics yet.

Cost Saving
 

Here's a cost saving idea..... Stop buying airlines!

Any more news about the impending North Sea job cuts?

Slump in oil prices, oil companies introducing equal time on equal off?

Bristow to make an announcement next week...

@Abdulbandul


If you are an bristow employee, you will be notified soon enough.
If your not, it's non of your business.

Bristows made me redundant in 1983 along with 71 others
Then I started the transition to fixed wing and never looked back

Anyone young enougn should do the same thing
Plenty of jobs in se asia and good looking girls too

Take the plunge!

Bit harsh there Falko, sometimes redundancies in one of the larger operators can have a knock on effect to others and does/will affect others, so I feel its a valid question to ask.

Maybe Abdul is an employer looking for qualified soon-to-be ex Bristow pilots to man a contract and is hoping for redundancies to happen? Who knows? Maybe he's your next CP, or not. :E

A lot of C.Vs are flying out of the Bristow crew rooms at the moment, with some very good experience attached.

As most probably know; A severence package has been produced.

Anyone more insight on these rumours and willing to share;
Bristow ABZ looses chevron to NHV?
EBU will need to loose a fair number of AC and sure enough if airframes go, pilot numbers/ engineering numbers will reduce... any numbers out and about?

:( Anyone? :hmm:

RP

Meeting tomorrow ??!!:sad::sad: Good luck guys

well that went well...!

Bugger?
That pushes me further down the pecking order - atleast the ABZ girls n guys have ratings from this century ;-)
To be honest - I would jump at redundancy and look to change jobs - Iran has stacks of cheap oil to sell and flying offshore is going to become a lowly-paid job due to pilots' mentality for self-harming T&Cs
Good luck

Bristow helicopter jobs at risk - BBC News

Here we go again it would seem..

You're. None.

Having taken the voluntary package in 2015 (I bit their arm off, it was almost too good to be true), I would be surprised if more people aren't let go.

Since the oil price slide things appear to have gone from bad to worse; yet another restructure exercise but hardly any shrinkage at corporate level, just some new faces with different titles. Loss of major long standing contracts in Aberdeen, Nigeria and Australia along with a seemingly entrenched belief that the O & G sector will get better somehow (ostrich mentality ?) plus a serious decline in share value have put them not too far away from Chapter 11 territory.

Very sad. They (or rather a couple of very loyal managers) took good care of me when I needed them.

And what exactly is going again?

job loses obviously.. its a bristow job loss thread.

How old were you when you made the switch from RW to FW

A fair question. I'd be interested to know as well. I'm in my late 30's and sometimes think about it
