Hi all,
It's a shame that BMED is in such a position. However, the airline can't compete with the "local" airlines. ie, BA to GYD 27/1 return 10/02 £636 (inctaxes) AZAL only £330 (from LHR too).
The BMED model needs to be changed, my suggestions are :
Get rid of the CC Managers, Director if Inflight services, Catering department, quality managers, ground services managers.
I know seems a bit harsh but....
So many managers for such a small airline!
They need
1 customer services manager - for aircraft & ground
2 a proper contracts/franchise manager (looks after BA/suppliers/hotels)
3 catering - pass everything on to GG or Alpha! (quality can be done by pursers by reports passed onto contracts manager)
4 Full-time quality manager that looks after everything!
Anyway, I hope everything will work out.
I'll be in my bunker, waiting for the flak.
