You mean work for an airline that fly to places like NYC (September 11th attacks), Washington DC (September 11th attacks), Istanbul (HSBC Bank bombing), Madrid (Subway Bombing), London (Subway bombing), Islamabad (Bombings and attacks on western people are regular), Bombay (The train bombings the other evening), Tokyo (Anthrax attack in subway), Cairo (attacks and murdering of tourists at Giza a few years ago), Dar Es Salaam (Embassy bombings 98) and Nairobi (Embassy Bombings 98). These are only a few examples that I can think of. My point is every where we go these days has some level of terrorist threat about it.

The scary thing about Beirut is that its NOT TERRORIST...ITS ISREAL deliberatly bombing targets in Beirut which is WRONG WRONG WRONG. And remember, BA fly to TLV, I sure as hell would not want to be scheduled a trip there any time soon.

Bmed will look after its crew very well. Lets not over react or look at BA through rose tinted glasses!!!

I'm an ex-Bmed employee, was there for many years, had a great time even if the destinations weren't the most desirable to most people but it's what you make of it at the end of the day.

BEY is a fab destination, I used to love it there. Trust me, Bmed won't send their crew anywhere where's there's deemed dangerous. I agree with apaddyinuk's last comment, well said.

At the end of the day, we're all adults and have the freedom to choose to apply for whichever airline we want to, it should be an informed decision that you make based on what works for you as an individual. I also used to work for BA, so I know about certain aspects of working for them aswell.

I don't anyone can fly into BEY as there are gaping holes in the runway from the bombs!!!!!

I am completely with paddy on this one.

bmed managment
 

I also worked for bmed and i have to say one of the worst and most unprofessional airline i have ever worked for .The cabin crew managment team are nothing but bullys and think the must rule by fear they have no respect for the crew what so ever and m/g ex airtours is the worst sits in his ivory tower empire building.<mike empires fall.>

THE WAY FWD IS TO LEAVE

Sounds like our experience was very different pips, sorry to hear that. I left 5years ago mind you but I have a rough idea what you're talking about.

The way fwd

I did BMED along with a few charters and am now at Mainline EF LHR.

I left B-MED because I had issues with some of the management. Fair does, my call, i moved on. I wouldn't say "they are the worst airline to work for in the world, ever." I think people are getting a little over the top. For example, I'm sure people would prefer to work for BMED rather than, say, IranAir, Ariana, Kras Air, you get the point the list goes on and on.

Every airline has its problems. BMED - a few people more concerned about their own careers and not "the bigger picture". Can lead to some frustrating situations.

BA however aint all that, as they say. I'm glad I was offered the job, I'm glad I left BMED, my time was up, I'm glad I took BA. But Ladies and Gents, it isnt the Utopia people seem to make it out to be. - People here really really don't care. For example we have people that have been here far far too long. Job share don't care is a phrase i hear to often. CSDs saying "I'm here to make money sweety, not friends". BA can be lonely, you have an idea, and no-one cares. However this is good as no-one actually knows you either...... room parties!

All I want to say guys is this - enjoy wherever you are. Airlines by their nature change or dissapear overnight - enjoy it whilst you can!
