Be prepared to be messed around, short notice changes, hassled on days off. The company will always be connected to BMI, and thus its infrastructure. Don't expect too much compassion.

Discretion at least once a week, minimum rest at least twice a week. In summer expect 60-70 sectors, winter 40-60 a month.
You will be close to 100 hours every 28 days, close to 900 every 12 months.

Fatigue is rife, moral is the pits.

Less leave, salary,less pension,less bonus (if they ever honour current contracts) than Easy/Ryan. Less salary

If you join as an F/O, the likelihood of command is zip. There are plenty of ex-BMI F/O's who have the hours, currently 4000 hrs for an assessment, let alone a command.

Use it as a stepping stone by all means. You have been warned. term.
