Hmmm? If only there was a private forum for all the BMI group pilots to bicker behind closed doors, saving the public from thinking we are a bunch of schoolyard children argueing over who is allowed to play with which toys......... oh wait......

You do all work for the same company you know, even if the brands might appear a bit different.

Aegean to return their 2 daily LHR slot to bmi??
Not sure if anyone has anymore info on this topic but apparently under some agreement Aegean Airlines plans to start using Olympic Airlines LHR slots at the start of the summer schedule as Olympic Airlines have announced that they will suspend their LHR-ATH flights.
This will release 2 slots from Aegean and returned to bmi (most people are guessing). I hope if this is the case then these slots will be put into use to operate some attractive new routes and not just be used as slot fillers to MAN.

Well somebody somewhere is doing something right...........................................
bmi British Midland International has been ranked as the leading UK airline brand in the 2010 Corporate Reputation Index released by TNS, the leading research company.
The study ranks various organisations based on a number of key factors: their business success, favourability, trustworthiness and service quality. bmi achieved the highest score, just ahead of British Airways, out of all the airlines rated in the latest index.
bmi’s top ranking was boosted by a strong overall reputation score and success in the key factors as well as having developed a strong reputation with consumers.
Joerg Hennemann, Chief Commercial Officer, bmi, commented: “bmi is delighted to receive such a high ranking from airline passengers. To be named top of the 2010 Corporate Reputation Index in areas such as trustworthiness and service underpins the values of the company.
“By improving the customer experience and updating our product and services regularly we aim to bring maximum benefit to our valued customers and make travelling with bmi even better.”
Tom Costley of TNS said “It is great to see the travel industry performing above average but there is more work to be done, especially when it comes to dealing with customer service issues.”
bmi recently announced new routes from Manchester and London Heathrow to Basel starting 27 March and from London Heathrow to Bergen, Stavanger, Marrakech starting on 1 April and to Casablanca starting on 2 April.

If WW are going to change their fleet it would be an opportunity to start another subsidiary company on less expensive Ts & Cs than WW currently have. There seems to be plenty of low hours pilots in the UK who are willing to pay to be fly airbuses. No need to employ First Officers at all! Come to think of there have been a number of Captains willing to pay for their own training qualifications.
Sounds like a good business model

Sales and marketing now under new management
I've noticed that bmi have now split the sales and marketing manager position into two seperate roles and by the look of things its starting to pay off already. Things seem to be a bit different now with their last sale prices being remarkably lower than any other bmi sale in the past. The marketing campaign on the radio, media, outdoor advertising and social network sites seem to have really pushed their sales alot. According to inside sources they sold far more tickets in this last sale than in their supposedly big annual January sale. Theres also now on a 7 day Business class sale which started today 
I believe the marketing manager has experience with Virgin Holidays and the sales one with British Airways which can have a good spin on bmi now that they are trying to position themselves back as a full service airline.

The sale is nice but they still can't get their act together in loading the fares onto the flipping website 
No through fares from BHD or DUB loaded for instance.
People want to give them money and maintain loyalty but somebody is doing their damndest to thwart them
