Guys,
There was a positive feel for recruitment in Bmi with the prospect of new aeroplanes at the end of this year, but as already stated in previous posts, these aircraft are now going to be absorbed into Lufthansa therefore they will not be recruiting addition pilots for fleet expansion.
The new guys that have started recently are replacing people that have gone to BA and a couple to Virgin. This source of pilots has come from guys wanting to come back from the middle east and Easy who took VR last year and the pilots that were coming back off the 75. There are also 4 guys I think that have been waiting for 3 years in the hold pool, which is great for them.
Also, to confirm, that Bmi is no longer providing line training to cadets. The last course, I think, is now finished.
