deuce bigalow Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 The Canadian Industrial Relations Board rules in favour of the Global Helicopter Pilots Association(CHC pilots). This is the first step in the transformation of the offshore helicopter industry! Good news for ALL pilots with regards to the betterment of our industry. Does anyone know what the rest of the story is? My understanding is that one of the challenges CHC made against the association went against CHC which was in regards to the CLRB having jurisdiction on the company in light of the fact that many of the employees are not Canadian. I believe there is at least one if not more challenges before the court before the champaign gets popped. I could be wrong of course and it wouldn't be the first time.

Outwest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 You are right Deuce, this was only the first challenge, which by the way CHC has already filed an appeal on. So there is a very long road ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Duece, There are certainly more challenges ahead with this issue, however it seems to me as though the position the GHPA is in now has never been experienced to date. There have been similar attempts to associate in the past that only resulted in the company scattering the people involved in trying to bring about change. CHC will definitely continue to put up "road blocks"regarding this ruling and we are still in for a long process. More information regarding this decision is supposed to come down the pipeline here shortly, which should shed some more light on the details.

saturnman Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Anything more out there on this? Most of the CHL EMS pilots are probably very curious ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
