Mike, congratulations on getting over the first hurdle, and for rejoining the aviation community. I wish you a lot of luck at your interview, and fingers crossed that it's successful.
bmi will be basing an A321 weeklong, and a weekend based A320 between BHX/EMA this summer for charter flights operated on behalf of Excel Airways & Kosmar Holidays. I believe that the newbies have been offered six month contracts beginning May 1st, but am willing to be corrected.
As mentioned, any jobs that open this season at baby based at EMA will be really fought for. I'm aware a number of people at Doninngton have been offered airport placements, however this I've been told would mean losing their redundancy pay, and also there is of course a change between office work & airport work, not least the hours. Nevertheless, keep eyes peeled for cabin-crew & CSA postings on the bmibaby website.
