Bmi Regional Holding Pool
Just wandered how many girls and boys are in the Bmi Holding Pool.
How long they have been in the pool?
Does anyone know if their is likely to be any movement soon?
Any info would be appreciated thanks,
Swimming.

Holding Pool
Is there nobody else in the pool?
Mybe people are being called forward for sim rides to top up the holding pool. After such a long wait I suspect many have obtained other employment.

The only person who thinks that we are over crewed is the Ops Director
, ask any of the peeps flying the line (Captains or F/O's) and they will tell you that they are all working v. hard. There is also quite a bit of roster disruption creeping back in to our lives despite the Lifestyle Agreement and the summer schedule hasn't even started yet.
The company is still on the lookout for more aircraft but I wouldn't hold your breath on that one! Additionally several people are going through the process of transfering to BMi mainline with the possibility of additional transfers to Baby later this year.
So, all in all, it shouldn't be too long before you see some movement.
Come and join us the EMB145 is great.

The company are (AFAIK anyway as I don't work for them but know people that do) no longer over crewed. Should be FO spaces available soon as a few people have handed in their notice...

Brace yourself for an interesting ride, beware of the basing policy, it is not transparent and you could end up in Scotland long term.....
The 145 is nice though, but too small.

bmi regional holding pool
Anyone got any updates on when things might get moving. I believe they have been doing interviews and sim rides lately. Is this just to top up the holding pool or are there going to be some courses starting soon?

I See there is another post on the T&E page regarding Regional. Have the guys in the pool started on this course of 6? or is it due to start later this year? I see there were at least two swimmers having been in the pool for a while. I have heard of a guy getting an indication of a possible interview soon.

With the news of a course of 6 new F/O's starting with bmir, are you guys who have been swimming for a long time on this course? Does anyone know if the pool is now empty or are there still guys treading water?

Well done on your applications chaps, especially given the current climate. I have a couple of friends with bmiReg, a good job awaits you there. Take your winter woolies though if its ABZ base, it gets very VERY cold in the winter time!!
