Babcock Blackpool
What's going on peeps.....Babcocks immediate requirement for pilots at Blackpool?
B. |
Wasnt the ad asking for permanent staff (so no touring positions?)
|
Babcocks have recently taken over one of the small hangars at Blackpool to base an EC135 for servicing the offshore wind farms
|
Have they abandoned the idea of flying the windfarm EC135s out of Walney Island? That was the original plan
|
Due to personnel moving on, there is a requirement for pilots for the Oil and Gas contracts.
Simple as that. |
Due to personnel moving on.....Hmmmm...
You have a secure ,fairly well paid job and yet offshore are still losing pilots from all the companies and all the bases...looks like the management need to pull their heads out of their a*%$s and start treating people right with better T&c's after the last couple of years of crap they have handed down....:ugh::= Peeps, for goodness sakes, do yourselves a favour, (especially the younger guys and gals,) go fixed wing...the airlines are crying out...you won't regret it!!:ok: |
50? REALLY...Ah, sorry, you said people, not PILOTS...Especially ones with Experience or ratings:=

Looks like NHV are to replace Babcock on the Morecambe Bay gas contract.
NHV website is advertising vacancies at Blackpool on AS365N3 and AW169 |
Babcock getting undercut by NHV; the race to the bottom is not yet over. |

IF NHV replace Babcock won't TUPE apply?It did when bond replaced CHC and CHC replaced Bond. Just throwing that out there.
I suppose if its The old Dauphane it would but not new type (aw169) |
Is this not a new contract - ie, the Babcock one has come to an end? TUPE might apply if takeover during a contract - but then this is O&G so nothing is so predictable |

My mistake As it has been a long running base I made an assumption based on the engineers i knew who worked there.

The net effect is that everyone was pretty much forced to take Bond T’s & C’s at short notice - no time to negotiate or make a plan B, with only about 6 weeks to changeover. For some that was a major pay cut, for others a somewhat forced retirement on New Year’s Eve. BG |
