75%
 

Hello ,
Just applied for 75% , Would like to know what the money is like and days off etc..?
Oh got some gossip , They are changing the way forward once again !!! , Are they that
Bored in the office ..Help !! .The New Duty free Magazine looks nice , It's called Expressions and it has a lovely kaleidoscope design and the British Airways including the lovely speedbird logo on it , And under British Airways it says operated by BMED .The reason for the change from shop highlife was that BMED Crew , Where not getting paid all there Commision , I lost £50 this year alone !! And that's a little night out in London :)

Thanks

Ps. For non BMED Crew , The Way Forward is our service delivery .

BMED lhr
I think with your 75% you will have loads of time on your hands to keep us informed.Maybe you can help them to rewrite the way forward. Dont get too borred or you might turn into one of them :ok: :ok:

ha ha ha !!! , Have you applied for 75 % yet ? Madam .
Hope your well and PM , Next time mmm...;)

Please tell me this is a joke, they can't change the "The Way Forward"!

I'm a newbie to the company, and they do like to change things!

HEhe...

The only thing that doesn't change at BMED is that they keep changing.

I guess thats what happens when 'The way forward' is actually the way backwards. :E

Just kidding, or am I? (must've changed my mind) :p

BMED LHR - 75%? 'tis a hard life :ok: Must catch up on all the gos.

The Way Forward !!
 

Hello ,
And welcome to bmed , I have been in bmed 18 month's and this is the 2nd time there changing it .
To be honest , I think our service is fine ..It's only a A320/A321 ..I used to work on a wide body aircraft for 5 years and they never changed the service . Ok maybe cut backs etc after 9/11 , It's just too many chiefs in the office .Who should be online flying , Well maybe not all of them if you know what I mean .

Thinking of applying to them but afraid to once again be rejected! What exactly are they looking for? I'm well-educated with several years work experience (customer service-related such). Although, I don't speak any of their prefered languages (Farsi, French, Russian etc), only fluency in English and another foreign language and an understandable level in another two languages.

Suggestions? :confused:

Very few people at BMED actually speak any of those languages - For BMED it's more of a nice to have than actually being a need to have.

QRCC2B - Apply to them, See what happens but I would say make VERY VERY sure that you are happy with the destinations (research the destinations etc.) Eg. There has barely been a seize fire agreement in place in Lebanon and BMED crew are staying in Beirut, before the runway has even been properly repaired. :bored:

On the flipside though they did get the crew out of the country rather efficiently when the first bombs dropped, if that is any consolation.

I hope you make the right decision for you. I made the right decision for me by leaving them.

Good Luck!!! :ok::ok::ok:

Just returned from a 4 day Beirut on Friday. One of my best trips yet! What Lebanon needs is to get things back to normal as quickly as is safely possible. BMED crews staying in Beirut is part of that process. We wouldn't be going if it was unsafe, and the runway worked just fine:ok:

Regards

Mike

Thank you for your reply!

I know of the destinations and a lot about the airline. Done a lot of research. They probably don't like what they see as they have rejected my application several times? Might be a good idea to ask for feedback if they reject it again, would they give it?

Hello
 

Hello ,
There are many airline's out there why would you want to apply to BMED so many time's ? , Have you ever thought of applying to British Airways , Virgin , Jal , Ana , Silverjet , Easyjet and charter Airlines (Which pay very well , but you work hard ) .

Also a good start is to apply as a passenger service Agen't for a Airline . An at least when passenger's ask you Question's you will be able to answer them . Maybe you need more customer service experiance .

Good luck , And remember Airline's will not give feedback !!

Does anyone have any tips or pointers on how to prepare for a BMed interview?

B|MED
 

Hello ,
You should write down loads of customer service example's that you have given / received in the past and remember them . Also go to the B|MED website www.flybmed.com and learn everything about B|MED and it's franchise relationship with British Airways. For example Benefits for BMED are:

• Using globally recognised name, livery and flight code of British Airways
• British Airways becomes world wide sales agent for BMED
• BMED passengers able to join British Airways' Executive Club
• Access to UK regional and international traffic fed into Heathrow

Benefits for British Airways are:-

• Replacing unprofitable British Airways routes with positive revenue contribution
• Introduction of the British Airways product to new destinations
• Increased revenue from internationally connecting traffic

Good Luck ;)

Also read up on Oneworld Alliance, as they will ask you about this in your interview!

Good Luck!

Going To Beirut The Day before the bombings!
 

Hey everyone!

The day before Isreal had bombed Beirut airport, I was at Heathrow (LHR) terminal 4 trying to get onto the Beirut! My Mum works as staff at BA in LGW and STAFF TRAVEL disallowed us to travel with no bags just because we were late! Two questions, Is that the policy for BMED and was god on our side or what!!!!

Kyledubai:ok: :sad:

Hi Kyle
Bmed policy is the same as mainline when it comes to bagage.Sot it was a blessing that you did not get on.Feel free to go back now.I got a 4 day trip in 2 weeks,cant wait

are the Bmed flights busy
 

Just wondered if people had started to return to BEY or are the flights quiet??

Yep , Where back ..got loads next month :) .
I prefer beirut then theran any day ..drink etc :}

B|med Has Made Changes To There Website !!
 

Ok not big changes , but the destination page is bigger and at least you can see the map and destinations, Much easier .

It's not RIO/SYD , But is something new ;)

http://www.flybmed.com/destinations/destinations_hp.php#

strange!

i talked to bmed last week and they confirmed they are recruiting cabin crew. i decided to apply and passed on my curriculum vitae to the person i had talked to. a couple of days later i received a letter from them where it said they are no longer recruiting and will put my application on file.

is this standad procedure? the person i talked to confirmed they were recruiting and asked me to pass on the cv!

seasick

Hello
 

I would Hang in there , Little strange as there is interviews this weeked on saturday and sunday . I'm sure they will contact you again soon ;). Thing's happen to people who wait :ok: .I hope you don't get Air Sick !! Lol ..

you mean it's a good sign? would they have rejected me if they didn't like my application, even if they are not recruiting?

a friend of mine applied earlier this year and received a rejection letter some days later... maybe it is a good sign then?

seasick (no, not airsick!) :ok:

well, i really want this job so being rejected worries me!

seasick

OK maybe BMED destination's are not all glamour , But there are NOT many Airlines
out there that pay well (Except charter) and most the destinations are very cheap .
Good luck seasick and I hope you do get the job . Either with BMED or British Airways !!

thank you!

question,

in the letter i received from them, they say they i will be contacted when they hold another assessment day in the near future.

does this mean i have been successful in their shortlisting procedure?

seasick

Newbagr

Yes believe it or not Bmed is my first choice over BA LGW

Money my first reason

Better roster and closer airport my second one

It 's up to your priorities and personal situation I reckon

I know which ones are mine....:E

From The BA Website:

BMED to withdraw Heathrow - Tashkent service

British Airways franchise operator BMED has announced it is to withdraw services between London Heathrow and Tashkent, Uzbekistan, from the beginning of the Winter 2006/07 schedule. The last departure from London will be on 26 October 2006, the last departure from Tashkent will be on 27 October 2006.

Not surprised that they are withdrawing TAS. Remember those flights being rather empty. Either that or they're using the a/c on more lucrative routes. :rolleyes:

or both ;)

Hello ,
Yeah your right flight's where not full , Why oh why can it not be Theran ...lol :E

Hey seasick ,
It's a good sign , I hope you do get the job .
And if you do, We might get to fly together and have a laugh . Oh and pack that vodka :} .

Seasick you'll have to pack a crate of vodka, MR BMED likes a tipple every now and again. ;););)
