CHC Pilots Accept 9.27% Pay Deal

Oil and Gas People has learned that helicopter pilots in the North Sea have accepted a pay deal.

An earlier ballot this month among members of the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa) working for CHC had returned a 94% vote in favour of strike action.

Balpa general secretary Brian Strutton said: “Balpa members employed as pilots by CHC helicopters have today voted to accept a staged pay deal worth 9.27% taking them up to September 2020.”

Full details of the package offered are yet to be released.

CHC has pilots based in Aberdeen, Sumburgh, Humberside and Norwich.
