Me too, sort of,

Done the tour ending up on the Montrose/ Arbroath, but now have a cushty job at BP in Grangemouth.

 

Rab,

Yip I was at Knockhill with the green BP brolly. I did notice there was another 'BP' brolly, was that u? I'm going over next Thursday if you're back on dry land, I may see you over there

John,
Keep KG going then if its a cushty number, we need u to take the gas.

 

Big guy, you have me at a disadvantage!!

What part of the site are you on? Have our paths crossed? Humour me as I'm drawing a blank.

 

I'm at Kinneil. I've seen your car around heading in to & out off KG car park.

I indirectly met you at AWD a few months back (January I think).

 

I work Offshore too, North Sea (Tiffany Platform) Mechanical Tech.

 

Your platform exports into our pipeline system as well doug

 

Rab where you down at grangemouth, in Gav McRobbies year?

 

Me too , work for ayone ,anywhere , if the money is right !! Someone has to finance the Scooby! Just not enough time to drive it ! In Norway at the moment! John S, I met you at the Knockhill Subaru open day in April!

 

With so many offshore personell on scoobynet , anyone got any news of whats going to happen next August when the Working Time Directive comes into force?? We were under the impression that we would get three on two off , but it doesnt look like this now?? Anyone shed any light on the subject??

 

Doug, I believe most outfits are looking at a five shift rota, where those who are currently on 2/2 will go 2/2, 2/2 then a 2on 3 off, starting the cycle again.

I think Shell are the ONLY company at the moment who adhere to the regs with 3 six week breaks a , IIRC 2/2, 2/2, 2/6...

...John

 

Fonzy, I certainly was, I saw him a few months back in the Dunavon. Who are you then? I take it you served your time at Grangemouth as well?

 

evojkp is right. Shell already adhere to the working time directive with the "even six" rota which is two on, two off for four trips then you get a trip off. This works out as a 20 week cycle where you get six weeks holiday every 14 weeks

 

You oily guy get far too much time off !

Paul

 

evojkp - Yeah I have heard of the five shift rota , just waiting to see what happens on here though. No announcement as yet as what we will be doing.

The "even six" as run by shell to mean sounds the best way around the WTD , I would personally prefer that to 2 and 3.

 

My rota's slightly different with Shell.

2 on, 2 off, 2 on, 4 off

Anyone want to swap?? Yer right

Rob.
