Mr Stafford is also contracting to provide consultancy services up to 31st August 2012 to assist the company in transitioning in a replacement – and will be paid at the rate of $1250 per day for the privilege.  The consulting agreement, which can be cancelled at any time by Bristow, includes an “additional performance cash award” of over $220K, payable at the company’s sole discretion.
