Threat of job losses hangs over bmi as airline reneges on pay rise promise - Times Online
Good luck to all at bmi. The mention of redundancies is those already being discussed within bmi baby I take it? Hope it's not talking about anything more.

the redundancies at bmi baby have already happened, and the numbers were not reduced at all by balpa offerring to give up the pay rise (before this latest announcements).
Almost certainly more to come across the group, and as for NT, Balpa are having a vote of no confidence in him, whatever that means. I suggest you might know he is lying because his lips move...

Indeed!!!!
Try GMB for size (albeit not very big).
Well i think a pay freeze is better than losing a job, but as stated that is not guaranteed either
.
bmi needs to find some kinda of common ground with its staff and at least if they want to freeze wages then give staff some reassurance that jobs will be safe for the forseeable future.
Noone seems to know what LH will do when they take over, other than what was said at the beginning, which was very little

7 million increase in cost base that in simple the company cant afford to pay it to staff.
LH questioned bmi's judgement on that matter. Makes me feel unsure about the board sitting up north do they know what is going on with the airline if it took LH to nudge them into changing the plans.
But bmi does need to come clean when LH are the main share holder. Are ground staff going to be out sourced to a handling agent. Yes NT said open commos from him but at the mo very little.
There is very little sense of being part at something within bmi. Staff dont feel valued and 'good thinking' is all to often over looked a complete change in working culture would help this airline big time.
Total Quality Management comes to mind here. But hey as a csa u are paid to do not use your brain at bmi. robots.

I know how Bmi can make some money !
Put that now redundant A330 that seems to spend a lot of time doing nothing at Manchester onto a transatlantic route, say Chicago daily !!!

... and in the process any little remaining credibility that the existing bmi management team had has just vanished!...
(It won't take long to establish competency under the watchful eye of LH)

Bob Campbell, bmi Ops.
Off the thread, I just want to pass on some very sad news.
Bob Campbell, bmi ops, and ex-RAF, passed away this morning after a short illness.
One of the biggest characters at the Hall and will be sorely missed by his many many friends.
Our thoughts are with his wife, Sal, and family.
Miss you mate.

Bmi currently have an Airbus operating the Friday evening LHR-LBA. It then positions to LGW for a series of charter flights before returning LGW-LHR on Sunday.
It may be this arrangement will continue for S09.

bmi pilots to get pay increase
I see various newspapers are reporting that bmi pilots will get the on/off pay increase after all, but only for Jan / Feb at least for now!! wonder if the rest of the group will get their increase for April & May?
so what is 1/6th of RPI + 0.5%?
