Who else is following this, appears as if the offshore lads are about to get their collective $%^# together and have a serious look at forming some kind of association.

Have not read back through all the threads here but am sure this topic has come up before.

Hi

 

Below you will find the Decleration of cooperation, which by now has been signed and ratified by the pilot unions in CHC Denmark, CHC Ireland, CHC Norway, CHC Schreiner and CHC Scotia. Our membership is approx. 350 pilots. Our companies account for 60-65% of the worldwide revenue of CHC.

 

Keep in mind that this is the original document, which includes CHC Schreiner since March 2005.

 

Regards, Olav
