I just want to add my bit to this thread.
I too am an ex-BMED crew member and it really saddens me to hear how things have changed. I jumped ship 5 years ago for bigger and what I thought would be better things. I soon realised what a great airline I had left, and flying has never been the same for me since. I appreciate that most people remember their first airline with fondness, but I can truly say I really enjoyed my time at BMED.
I made some great friends there, many that I am still in touch with. I had some fantastic trips and will always remember those room parties in TBS, once having to make up meal trays in the back galley during boarding in ASB because the government had sacked all the caterers, and those split duty shuttles to Bishkek when you would all gather in Club for some kip but only once you had helped to clean the aircraft and brought all the catering up from the hold!!!
I cant comment on the current situation as obviously things have changed, the airline has grown and people have moved on.
One word of warning from one who knows. The grass is not always greener and sometimes you dont appreciate what you have until its too late.
