BMI

I guess that's good news for the ground staff, and a pity for the poor dispatchers .

Trousers will be required for the Cabin Crew flying the BMED route to Iran, along with a BMI scarf to cover their heads as well!

LHR Longhaul

Hi All,

So, is it 100% sure US flights from LHR will only start to operate in 2009?

[ladyflyby]

Unfortunately they are going to make us wear an abaya which is of course an Arabic item of clothing, which isn't going to go down too well in Iran. It's far too difficult for them to issue us with some navy trousers!!!

[Timmyflyer]

Looks to me like it will be very doubtful that we will ever start our own routes to the U.S out of LHR...... seems more likely that we will just codeshare with UA . They will bring the passengers in from U.S and bmi will be the Star Alliance carrier taking pax to the middle East....with Cairo and Tel Aviv being added to our routes...it really does appear as that is the direction SMB/NT are taking..

Obviously i could be totally wrong!!!

Let's hope so

Does anybody know what the rosters look like for part timers at bmi regional? They seem to be taking internal applications from the bmi group for cabin crew and know that some people have gone straight in part time.

Bmi Interview Days

Hello robynbevis! I recently had my interview with BMI

please don't worry Bmi are fantastic, really friendly. It was the most easy airline interview that I have been too, best part was (Not sure If I can use the word on here) So I will say no stuck up attitudes or anything like that.

There is about 2 group work exercises, relly simple, as long as you communicate with your team, you don't have to lead it. Just have fun. I enjoyed it. And also think How you would want to be treated as a customer or would expect for the roleplay. Thats simple too.
You do get a math and english test, All I can say Is please revise a little currency coversions, adding and taking away sums etc.

Don't worry too much as If your scores are not so high, It is more down to your performance as a whole. As for the questions, look at it like someone is trying to get to know you, How would you handle things? What would you do for a customer? How do you feel about the job, certain things etc.
Just have a few examples prepared so your confident. Most airline interviews are similar. What was you asked at the last? I will let you know If I am successful.

[robynbevis]

Thanks alot!!

wooo, I got the job. I am so happy. I recieved a letter by post, confirming I have been successful. Just have to wait a few months for a training course. Got british airways friday,Not sure If I shud go as I have BMI now and maybe it's best I gain my shorthaul experience first, not sure. Good luck to everyone specially robynbevis xx

[scorpio88]

hey Airhostessdream, Congrats on getting the job . Yea we are really friendly over here at bmi, great staff. You will love your training, ALOT of studying to do lol, but you will be fine. The hardest part is over!

[teacoffee]

Hi Airhostess go for BA!!

[crewboy]

I agree with Tea and Coffee,

See how you fair at BA before coming to Bmi

[robynbevis]

hey

Hi ya,
The interview went really well, i got through the first tasks then on to the one to two interview, they were really nice people, hopefully ill get the job!! they said if i get it id be starting my training in nov or in the new year!! when u got ur training airhostessdream??
I do think you should go 4 BA just to see!!
Hope all is well congrats

[G-KRIS]

HELP!!
hi all..... i know every one leaves airlines to go to BA, but what about the other way around?

I've been at BA for 8 years now, on longhaul LHR at the mo....and fed up. No promotion, and now they've taken one purser off, promotion prospects look a long long way off!!!

I've got some great friends at bmi who rave about it and what fun it is and i thought i'd apply for the fast track supervisor role.

Anyone on here applied or started off as a direct entry flight supervisor at bmi?

Really not sure what to do. BA can be a bit of a trap cause it's well paid mostly, but money's not everything i guess.

[marlena]

hi everyone!im just trying to find someone who starts the training on 13th Nov...i cant wait for the training...and also im scared cuz i heard that is v hard ... oh well we will see..

many thanks

[Timmyflyer]

Hey Marlena

Training is Intense and will seem like alot to take in all in one go(bit of brain overload at times) But you will do fine, enjoy it and enjoy learning with your new friends,they can help you with any problems you may.

Enjoy.

[Airhostessdream]

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the posts.Hi Robynbevis, I start 13th Nov. When do you start and well done to you. I didn't go for BA, wasn't ready, Id rather
do shorthaul and see how I go.
Marlena, I too am worried about training, I have a terrible memory. Don't worry, prehaps we can help each other. I take it you will move close to Heathrow. I can't afford to move out. It depends on cost hun.

G-Kris, that is so not on, you have worked 8 long hard years, and No promotion? I am sure If you was with BMI, you would probably be an fsm. I would take a chance and go with BMI, at least you could get a years experience and maybe go back into long haul, as you maybe able to show them you have been a purser elsewhere. Money is important but so is career progression and happiness xx
