bmi
So is it as part of 'Blue Sky' cost saving that the (admittedly almost unused) bmi has disappeared?
Or is it just that the moderator has gone to Virgin/Emirates/Easy/ anywhere but bmi ...

Lets face it, the number and frequency of bmi employees posting there was pathetic ! I posted a sarchastic kick up the backside and a couple of encouraging threads, but there was almost no response. Like flogging a dead horse.
The low number of threads, low number of views and way out of date last post date stood out amongst the other airline forums. It was embarrassing.
Fairly representative of the bmi workforce apathy and terror of speaking out, even anonymously.

Sorry I don't have the definitive answer on this, but I'm sure someone from the "Towers" will be along shortly. Some of the private forums have been dormant for quite some time, and it was generally felt that if the service was being provided elsewhere, or it was not being utilized then it was not worth providing the facility on PPRuNe. The first post in the thread probably gives a guide. I understood that there would be a warning posted in dormant forums and continued non utilization would probably result in removal.

Anthony,
Maybe the reason for the lack of response was that we're all tired of your sarcasm and negative vibes. (Note, sarcastic has no "H")
You might do well to remember the old adage "Empty Vessels make the Most Noise".

Anthony,
I fully respect your right to have an opinion regarding bmi and it's workforce.
It's wonderfully enlightening to see a colleague (or ex) have so many encouraging ways to improve the company. I can feel the motivation rising from inside as I read your informative and unbiased comments.
There....... I am now released from my

I would be very interested to learn how you know the content of other airline forums - perhaps you can share it with us?
For those of you who wanted to join the forum - did you email the Moderator?

I have just gone there again with no difficulty - but there are only two postings which are both mine so don't bother rushing off to see.
As I said earlier it has been ear-marked for removal due to lack of use - which seems to make sense.

PS Boxcar - why don't you email him and let us know the reply?

f_p_c............
I accept that it probably had to go...........
but that still doesn't explain why Anne.N can access the forum......
.......and others can't !
With all the comments that bmi employees have made over the years, I find it strange that they (unlike their fellows in other companies) are unable to feel free to post unless they are totally Anne. Nonymous
Is there something in the bmi culture that prohibits freedom of expression ?
