First, congrats on your new position. I have been looking at BMED myself for quite some time and I have heard good things. Of course, no airline is perfect and BMED has both positives and negatives from what I have been told.

The destinations, in my mind, are very interesting - but they are not the resort destinations that you would find at GB, Brits, FCA, Monarch or the like. If you are adventurous and like the Middle East and more exotic destinations like Baku and Tiblisi then you might really enjoy it. I have heard the flying can be a bit tiresome due to early arrivals into destinations down route - i.e., arriving at 5AM. There are a number of previous posts that can be found by using the search function.

A couple of questions for you:

1. What sort of experience did you have when you were hired? Hours? PIC time? Airbus rating?

2. How many people are expected to be hired in the near term?

3. Do you know if aircraft are being added or if recruitment is due to attrition?

Good job on the new position - it should be very interesting!
