There will certainly be more courses in the near future, BMIR has lost about 10% of its pilot workforce this year alone.....and the job market is slow!

Here are a few 'snippets' of the bad bits about BMIR:

Be prepared to be away from your prefered base for anything up to 3 years (maybe more). Commuting is very hard as you will often get 5 On, 1 Off, 4 On, 2 Off....

Nightstops! (anything up to 15 a month)

Roster instability. The only things set on your roster are your days off (avg of 8 per month) the rest is very much open to change.... this situation is getting worse as there are many guys long term sick, many leaving etc.

Command...At least 5 years at the moment possibly more.

Positives...great workforce (too good for the management!)

Nice little airplane, though it is too light to get you into a 'Heavy'.

Decent TRI's/TRE's! Personally I think they do a great job and should be appluaded!

Just my 0.02p worth.
