I have it on good authority fron somene on the PLC that our new leader has left Queens and heading north.

you seem to be forgetting that the cabin crew haven't accepted the pay deal.

Just a quick one ref above comment you have got to be kidding, bmibaby will never allow an AFS to be put in place even bmi regret why would a company do that to themselves - It's a pipe dream and will never happen

This is like reading the old duo/ Maersk forum.

Given the amount of duo / Maersk pilots recruited by baby it is probably the same 'posters' !

Chief Training Capt. also leaving for Tiger Airlines, must have been head hunted!

Or is this the Senior Training Captain (Ex BHX)?

Let us in on the secret.

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.

We all know where a hand has to fit to be in bmi management. :rolleyes:



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."

well it surely must beat having your head up there wouldn`t you say acbus1? !!:{ :{

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.

If you have aspirations to be an airline pilot then you are being ambitious.

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 !! :ok:

"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.

Don't know about the chief training capt, but mark my words the B Capt in heathrow is heading north to keep jr's chair warm.

"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.

What a :mad:

Just so everybodys clear CW is the Senior Training Captain, as I said.

I do not anything about who is leaving for Tiger. Could be TB/CW or JR for all I know.

Just read (on ATI) that JR's joined Virgin Express as Ops Director.
