At last, some people with a positive outlook about the whole bmi thing. I was beginning to think i was the only one. I've been with BMED for quite a few years now and I'm gutted that we will lose our identity. And don't get me started on wearing a hat again (does anyone else remember the days of hats and gloves for boarding in 35-40 degrees of heat in BEY and DAM?!?!?) Who knows, it might all turn out alright? Would be sweet as if we kept our routes and got a couple of Caribbean and States ones thrown in (open skies n' all) I'd do the odd bit of short haul for that.........

I feel for the office staff, but as crew I am quite looking forward to the bmi thing.
The US WILL happen if open-skies is agreed, which in the next 3 or so years, would give us crew rosters including the US, the ex-BMED routes and Europe, not a bad mix at the end of the day.
Short-haul does not appeal, but it was never going to be and is very unlikely to be a 100% shorthaul roster for us ex-BMED crew. Anyway, I certainly wouldn't grumble at the odd Amsterdam nightstop here and there
Regards
Mike

Was anybody at the BMED assessment days this past weekend? I was there on Saturday and have been offered a job. I'm really looking forward to it and glad to be able to experience the BMED culture for a little while at least. I can't think as far ahead to October anyway, but it will be interesting to see how both companies evolve through this merging.

Are you a blue or a red?
It's all speculative of course but it's good(ish) reading.......
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/transport/article1577590.ece
It's not over until the fat lady sings but I guess it could be an interesting situation if BA got hold of 50% of bmi, they would be the strong hold and could see bmi moving up to T5 possibly as well as sharing routes etc who knows? How exciting...(excuse me being a sad sack spotter)
On the other hand....

Are you a blue or a red guys? ;O)

(If my comments are in any way irrelevant or far fetched, please forgive me, I'm no expert although stranger things have happened!)

Assessment days
To everyone who will be having their interviews later this month: there isn't really anything new I could say by way of tips because the usual 'be yourself' seems to apply. The people chosen to have 2-1 interviews on my assessment day were a real mixture of people. In other words, there doesn't seem to be a particular 'type' they're looking for.
I did take note of one comment made, that they were going to be deciding 'whether they would want to fly with you, or not'. I guess this works both ways and you'll have to decide if you would want to fly with them!!
However, I found them to be very friendly and really put you at ease. I forgot they were there most of the time during the group exercises.
I guess they can spot genuine enthusiasm from those trying too hard. On the other hand, don't be so laid back that you look bored!! Keep your ego impulses at a healthy level and be open to those around you.
Congrats to all those who have been offered jobs....I look forward to meeting/flying with you. And good luck to the hopefuls.
(I start my training on Monday 16 April because I could give short notice.)
All the best!!

Assessment Day - HELP!!!!!!!
I really need help at the moment
The house is being renovated at the moment and to be honest I've seen it tidier. In the meantime I have my assessment with BMED on the 29th of the month and I can't put my fingers on the sheet of paper that tells me what I need to take with me to the assessment day, to say I'm panicking is putting it very mildly.
I think I need to take passport size photographs (and passport obviously), however I'm sure I had to take some sort of statement/personal reference. If anyone has their assessment days coming up could you please let me know as soon as possible - I'm starting to lose weight with the worry (which probably isn't a bad thing if I'm honest)

to my knowledge you don't need to take a reference with you....but you will need details of your past employers for 5 years and 2 personal referees. you will just need their address/phone numbers etc.
Think you also need to take details of your doctor...

bmed interview
Ciao Flyca!
ci siamo scambiati un messaggio tempo fa...
congratulazioni per essere passato alla 1to1 interview.
Gli assessment days si fanno di sabato e domenica, quindi oggi sono impegnati con altri candidati...
Potresti gia' ricevere una telefonata molto presto, forse domani, o forse una lettera in settimana.
Come ti e' sembrato il tutto?
