I hope they give more than 24 hours notice though!! Ouch!
Actually, that's not quite true.........
........you'll get much shorter notice of roster changes.

Well, my few mates that are in the airline at the mo don't seem to complain about roster changes - maybe they're just lucky. I get dikced around a lot more than they seem to.
Anyhow, hows it all looking? Any new info out in the open?

At the risk of being boring (again), for all those in the holding pool who may have course starts coming up...
...if this is your first multi-pilot type, it is a LASORS requirement that your IR is current before starting the course. The precise LASORS reference is in the first page or two of the thread. After waiting so long, it would be a real killer to be sent away on day one...

Update.... any good...
Having spoken to the man who knows about these things.....the topic of recruitment naturally came up..He said that "of course, he cannot guarantee anything, hence caution is the order of the day; but as it stands currently - bmi will require significant numbers of FO's in the next 9-10 months starting now."
Read this how you will, [positive I would suggest for those of you who are waiting], but as always if another job comes up first TAKE IT. MHO anyway.
Just thought it would be nice to update you....so please do not query, its just what he said. You may also want to know that there is still a trickle of FO's leaving at the moment -mostly BA/Easy and Mid-East before you ask.
Good luck to all.....

Thats very strange as when I spoke to 'the man in the know' this week he said no recruiting for the next 12 months??
As the 757's are on a damp lease why would we need to recruit? Damp lease's come with pilots!

Last hold pool e-mail received mentioned one more coure (still to be announced) to make up summer numbers. Refereing to bmibus post 13th Apr, it mentions two dates, presumably two courses (this info is after hold pool e-mail). Anyone know if there are now plans for two courses or still just the one?
Thanks......

Hello!
Any more news yet? Quick question, with Lufthansa showing an intrest in buying bmi along with other airlines what would happen in the event of a buy out to those in the pool?
Just a general question which may relate to other airlines as well.
cheers!
