BMI Mainline Holdpool
Hi guys!
Since there seems to be a problem with the old thread I thought I'd start a new one just to find out who is still neck deep in the like warm water and, what you's are all doing in the meantime whilst awaiting the call!

Good to see this thread up and running again, even if it's no news as such. I remain hopeful but while I wait, I am gaining time and experience on a small turbo-prop. I consider myself extremely lucky to have a job in the current climate. I have been in holdpool since August/September last year!!!

Hello!
Where you get the info from Mr Todd? I read somewhere that there is a rumour of Etihad buying bmi! Would make things interesting for those in the company but would like to know how that would effect us in the pool!
Well I've also been in the pool since end of Sept and been flying 737's in the meantime although I'm now starting to worry about regarding a memo recently sent out!

Yes I have spoken with BB.... The hold pool is full and he doesnt expect to do any new interviews for it until at least next spring. So if you are in it with the rate of attrition you may may get a call in the next 9 months or so depending where you are on the list. This is of course dependant on the status quo. On the up side we may actually have more work than expected this winter with charters, than was previously thought.

Anyone in bmi care to explain how the rostering system works ie can you bid for trips so that you can commute?

No, however a swap system of sorts exists. You are better off going Max4 nightstop preference that way you are guaranteed more nights away if commuting long distances. Lots of rumours flying around now so watch this space in the spring

Hello!
Just to bring this thread back up to the top any info on the salary for a new start with and without experience and all the other perks that go with the job ie pension, staff travel and stuff. Its been over a year since my interview and I've noticed that some of the figures have changed on ppjn!
Cheers!

It's been a year since your interview but also a year pretty much since anyone has joined, so I guess there will be very little newjoiners out there who could tell you the details I'm afraid.
If anyone can prove me wrong, please do so 'cause I'm quite interrested to hear about it aswell
