CHC
 

I hear all kinds of mumbling about a new figurehead for the corporation and new leadership for the antipodes!

Anyone?

antipodes? greek word, means opposite foot, historically refers to a location on the opposite part of the world, found by drilling down through your feet through the center of the planet to the other side.

Hmm, rotor-rooter, where are you, North Sea? So you must be referring to new CHC leadership in NZ (nope, nothing CHC there), or ....Australia?

Buy us a warm beer if I'm right.

I believe RB of Cougar is moving to pastures new for CHC Australia Oil & Gas.

Aha, that answers one of the questions.

Now, what about President Allard?

well now that it is official that Rick is coming down to Oz , hopefully he can work some of his "innovative magic" (a la Hibernia) so that CHC increases market share in the offshore side..................

................and I can come home ????

Manky
Which old age home are you trying to get into????

Nice one ... There's life in the old digger yet!!

Relocation
 

The CHC doors are set to close for the last time at number 45, once the chosen ducks are all in a row in Perth.

cheeky buggar , Nigel....but lovely to hear from you.
Have just turned a "YOUNG" 60 years of age but still have a few tricks that the young fellas cant yet figure out.
Presently in Brunei on a lovely old A++. A trip a day to a rig at 33 nm. Suits me down to the ground. Sure as hell dont need no more hours. Talking of which. What is your tally now ? Are you still flying ? Not a silly question. Walter Ramsey is still flying and as best as I remember he is now 73 !!!!!!!!!!

As suggested in May 2010, the ducks are now all in a row and the surplus have been identified. The Canidiots have struck again. What a sad sad time. Here's hoping all those affected can utilise their skills for a more appreciative competitor and reinforce to the Canidiots their absolute lack of understanding of the Australian industry.

Pilot or Engineers????
 

So who is being set aside...pilots, engineers or both??? Thought CHC just landed the Woodside contract???

I think Nonac is refering to the closing of Adelaide head office and the opening of the new office in Perth. Which is closer to most oil company offices.

Is just the changing of the times and you learn to go with it or get left behind.

I don´t imagine it will effect to many pilots or engineers mostly office staff. Some sad ones in Adelaide and new happy ones in Perth.

Perhaps a stipulation of Woodside?
Certainly the new man, RB, has no allegaince to Adelaide and it is a good chance to do a management spring clean.

Ducks are Dropping
 

Well, the Canidiot's seem to have side-by-side shot gun's and blasting away on the Adl HO.

CHC Australia?? Won't last too much longer as The Spitting Cat takes it over as CHC Global.

Rumours Abound
 

I heard no flight standards or Chief going.:eek:

Weedwacker did you mean run by Americans? CHC has been managed by Americans since First Reserve bought the company.
