ArkRoyal- Mainline also began with CAP371 and evolved into the AFS protected state it now finds itself in. BALPA did that for them, and baby are setting out in that direction

I believe this to be the senior training captain.
I have heard suggestions that he has been "head" hunted, and that he fits into the Tiger airlines management structure like a hand in a glove puppet.

Can't you lot use initials to identify individuals?
That's a better clue than "a senior training Captain ex BHX with a left eye twitch, a limp and a stutter who's seeing to a No.2 at Teesside......on Wednesdays."

Just out of interest, do you guys dismiss ambition for a living?
I'm a young FO who would like to go far, but from you guys it sounds like I would be banished like satan if I wanted to develop a strong career in the bmi group.

However . . . Airline pilots who have aspirations to be managers have an awful reputation for trampling on their erstwhile flying colleagues on the way up.
This does, of course, depend on the company culture.

Senior training Captain's initials are CW.
Do we want to go far?
Well personally I want to go to work get paid and not have to worry about the company backstabbing you.
We have one pilot suspended because he `alledgedly` refused his 21st roster change in 2 weeks. No paydeal even thogh we accepted 1.5% in return for lifestyle improvements, which the company consitently fail to allow. A crewing department that see limits as targets.
BMI Baby is not a place to build a career.

theres nothing wrong with ambition. If you can overcome the prima donna attitudes of some of the posters on this thread(especially one in particular ) who seem to think that the airline owed them a living for ever and should be eternally grateful that they graced us with their prescence , then theres no reason why you should not go as far as your ambition takes you ,all you`ve got to do is ignore the negative attitudes and go for it, good luck to you !!

"Crewing Dept that sees limits as targets", not really fair to blame the messenger? Surely the culture starts with the accountable Manager and down thru DFO, Chief Pilot etc. I would imagine that the Crewing Dept would support an increase in crews or anything to make their life easier, but if the Mgmt says no you manage with what you have then they just get on with it.
Or am i just naive?

Just so, Banzai Eagle.
Even the many-years-in-the-making Computer Crewing system blew itself up because there were too few pilots available.
Oh, and BTW, Ark, it was the BALPA contingent of the BMA PLC (or CC.} of the time (1985ish ?) who developed the present protection of the AFS under the leadership and persistance of Tony Blades et al.
Yours aye,
Sleeve.

"CW" mmmm....??!!
This is definitely more like the Maersk/Duo forum than I thought. Same bunch ? probably.
Just hope they left behind some of the "groundies" playing havoc with your diaries and their old overprotective tyrant.
