Thanks twisted for your reply.
It s true about the third lond day being paid etc etc, but is it automatic or do you have to call crewing to claim it as so far i havent seen any money for my third long day.
I dont know about you, and i dont know either if you are LHR based or not, but i am still being changed a lot.
Regardind the longhaul thing , yep, i know more routes are supposed to come within 2 years. But i am not kidding myself, unless it becomes a mixed fleet, that will not leave many people doing long haul, hence an increase in bitterness in the crew room as it is now being the case ( T1 having long haul etc etc etc).
It would also makes sense to give long haul to people according to seniority not about a stupid test and interview about the long haul service as you are supposed to learn that during the training anyway. What would make sense though, would be to ask more questions about the culture of the countries we are flying to. Like what do you know about India, Saudi Arabia etc etc..
I know some people who got long and who are already moaning about the Indian people. I think it s a bad start.
Having said that, i do keep a positive attitude when i fly as i dont want to ruin anyones day but deep down i feel unhappy and let down.
Which is why i am now applying to other airlines. Shame because i think BMI has the potential to be a great company.
