longhaul flight pay for bmi
Am longhual crew at lhr for bmi.
The pay varies from month to month. We only get taxed on 1/3 of our flight pay.
Can vary for May flightpay was only £340 but for june I have 6 trips and it works out £1040 before tax. Average since aug 2005 is £600-700 p/m flight pay.
dont forget we get london waiting as well and basic pay goes up depending on how long you have been with the company.
hope this helps

BMI LAYOVERS
well to get into BMI longhaul is not easy unless you are a chef or a language speaker.
Other than that they do not recruit externally for longhaul based at heathrow.
You must have worked for bmi for 6months before your eligible to apply. Then have to pass a product paper and then an interview.
Regarding the layovers.
RIyadh goes on a mon, wed, sat. So a monday trip is 3nights getting back thursday morning. Wednesday is a 4night trip getting back on sunday morning and saturday is a 3night trip getting back on tuesday morning. return night flight approx 6h30
Jeddah goes on alternate day except fridays. So its a tues, thurs, sun
so tues is a 3night, thurs is 4night and sun is 3nights. return night flight 6hrs
Just during the summer there are extra flights to 8 to riyadh/ and 9 to jeddah (i believe) on a friday this meaning that some of the trips will be shorten to a one night stay.
Mumbai is now daily so we get 23hours in the hotel.
Riyadh is amazing compound. Own private studio, massive swimming pool, golf course, tennis, horse riding, bowling, home brew alcohol. Passengers are very nice. Flights not full.
Jeddah start 18/5/06 not been. 3 crew to a villa
not been yet
These routes operated by 767 apparently hard work for crew especially looking after business with 42 pax.
Mumbai nice hotel, start of monsoon season last 6weeks approx. not able to leave hotel due to weather.
Economy always full - pax are very demanding not many understands english hard hard work returning night flight 9h30
hope that helps
anything else please ask.

Hi, I can help with the Jedda question, its better than RUH but sharing a bathroom is a no no. Unless we all write in and complain it will stay. The drink is cheaper the villas are better and the food in the restaurant is really good.

3rd Saudi destination
There are rumbles of flights to a third Saudi city, Dammam on the Gulf coast. Is the most relaxed area of the country thanks to close links to Bahrain. Word is, however, that a narrowbody would be the most appropriate a/c for the route.

Yes longhaul crew at lhr will exception of csm (in charge) and chefs are trained to do shorthaul and are still licenced to fly. However as we work on one british reg a/c a330 and a foreign reg a/c 767 we can not operate on shorthaul.

DMM layovers would likely entail staying at the Le Meridien Hotel in Al Khobar, it's lovely, but has seperate pools. Alternatively, a compound may be sought as an alternative. The good thing is that you have Bahrain a mere 45 minute drive away

the rumour also has it that BMI would be impatient to be finally agreed to fly from LHR to the US, so they're rabidly looking for the Bermuda II treaty b/ the US & UK to be annulled....If granted the permission to fly to the US, the 1st destinations would include Miami & NYC. that'd be superb !
thanks queenvic for sharing your pieces of info

So if bmi start this service to Moscow, am I right in thinking that it will still be pay on board for all food and drink????? if so, their fares will have to be considerably cheaper than the two flag carriers on the route!!

the moscow will have a designated business cabin
not confirmed if economy will be 'pay on board'. however if they follow the tiny fares policy book early enough should be some cheap deals.

BMI, Exciting times?
Hi Guys,
I'm on a waiting list for a training course out of LHR, I was offered one last month but could'nt take it, so I hope it wont be long before another one becomes available.
Sorry, the point of my question is, after reading these threads about Long haul closing at MAN and moving to LHR and seeing that BMI are adding new routes e.g. Russia, would I be correct in saying that it's an exciting time to be working or to start working for BMI especially out of LHR? I was looking forward to working for them anyway, but it now seems fab
No great reason for my thread just interested to hear what current employees think.
Thanks Guys.
