TIA. The squeeze is on, it doesn’t matter how much CHC has done it isn’t enough for a culture of greed. Richest country in the world (per capita), and they put road tolls everywhere on their 20km of roads. Really an oil company problem - if the contract isn’t profitable nobody will bid, and all additional costs to helicopter operators need to be covered. And the oil companies could have concerns on the quality of a nationalized operation. |
Maybe they were missed off the invitation list for the Dallas beanfeast? ;)

Roybert that’s my point - nothing is as they would like you to think. Quite a straight-forward story - you would think. my view is that it’s another ‘play’ and someone somewhere will make more money from it |
I could tell stories about working there but neither wise upon my part nor PC to comment. Cheers Albatross |
Any updates on this situation at all? I would hope that MEGI would use their rather large hammer to force the issue and keep everything as is. |
Ditto Albatross ! Been in some grim places in my working life.
This one was the worst I have ever seen ! First experience of people trading cat-meat as food ! El G. |
I'll get a couple of things off my chest on this topic which I have pretty good experience of.
1. CHC even in this market were likely making plenty of money in EG, it was a monopoly in a market with very high barriers to entry and no mean amount of risk. They're also flying S76C series which are hardly expensive to run in this market. Most of the ac they had in EG were owned anyway. 2. If this comes to pass, I'd put money that the CHC management in charge of it (not base staff, in the offices abroad) knew this months in advance, were warned, ignored it as 'same old Africa', did nothing and the authorities pulled the plug. The base staff have been superb. The fault for this if it comes to pass is elsewhere. |
