is BMI HIRING?

[peeprune]

I'm one of the many in the market for a shiney new job.

Hoping for a Glasgow basing...

Has anyone heard what BMI is up to with regards to recruiting F/O's right now?

I'm wondering how salary is as well...do they pay you while completeing your line training?

Thanks in advance for any info. I feel I may be a little late this year for gaining employment with a carrier...

cheers

bmi are recruiting at the moment - I think. Not quite sure where from. Scottish base will not be an option at the moment. It will be LHR - Good Luck

If the GLA base is important to you, try bmi regional- the money isn't as good, but living away from LHR should make up for that. At the moment GLA is undercrewed owing to promotions and people moving on, but this can't last too long.

Thanks for the info.

I didnt realize the regional (Embraer) was run seperatley from bmi. I was always directed to the same website. Will look into it more. Thanks for the heads up.

I will post if i find any more info out for those up in Scotland.

I have Just Looked at the BMI website. Nothing on there WRT Pilot Recruitment only Cabin Crew and Customer Services.

Any Links anyone?

You have to email Capt john bell (his email is on ppjn.com) but to save you sometime they are not hiring at the mo. General requirements are 1500 hrs for First officer and I nearly forgot £15,000 for your type rating.

£15,000 Is that for the Bus?

[ROSCO328]

If it was I wouldn't tell you . No mate that is for the Emb145 with regional.

[C172Navigator]

I think you will find bmir are recruitung for the Embraer, and cost for FO's is £2000 upfront and £10,000 over five years. Different arrangement for direct entry capains.

C172Nav is correct DEC is a bond, FO is a repayment type scheme.
