So nothing changes - the old man may have gone but this is 1977 in the UK all over again! The insincerity behind the words of the first paragraph above shines through.BRISTOW Helicopters this afternoon has announced the sack of over 100 pilots and engineers (both nationals and expatriates) over the next couple of weeks saying it has engaged the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) to negotiate a fair and equitable redundancy compensation for the affected individuals.
This move may not be unconnected with the current industrial action that has lasted two days so far orchestrated by pilots and engineers in the company.
Talk about voluntarily putting your head into the noose so that the Company can open the trap door. Timing is everything and this wasn't the time to strike.
