EGLL
No one knows what will happen with the EGLL EMBs as the winter schedule has still not been finalised! It is merely an assumption that regional will be staying in London for a little longer.
I'm guessing that the crew at the bottom of the mainline seniority list are longing for regional to stay put though, as while the EMBs remain in London there will be no mainline redundancies. With 6 airbuses to be parked up at MAN for the winter schedule it does look like mainline will be rather over-crewed.

Yeah I heard that too!
Apparently if they take off the crew water, a few seats and stop selling those galaxy muffins on board. They might just be able to stretch the Q400s legs from LHR to JFK on a good day with a 500kt tailwind.

What are you all talking about?
This thread is ridiculous; are there any people out there with helpful information on what is going on in BMI reg - plans, recruitment etc?

The reason this thread has no helpful information is that the only people who know of the plans for bmir are those at the top of Lufthansa... There is much speculation within the company and plenty of different rumours abound ranging from redundancy to the start of new routes. The reality is that none of the staff know what the future holds.

There is still a hold pool of guys waiting for something in the future, if anything. People have been rumoured to be sending applications in for the database.
Judging by this thread and subsequent correspondence with the training manager it appears to be a mirage on the horizon, with no planned recruitment, an annoyingly timed takeover and a holding pool full to the seams!?!

I think the bmir management's hands have been tied for the past year as the Lufty deal has been finalised. An announcement is due at the end of this month regarding the future (3 year) plan for regional. However, given the sad news of redundancies at bmi baby earlier this month I'm not sure if there will be any recruitment in the near future for any of the bmi group.
Of course, we'll just have to wait for the announcement to come to see what the future holds.
Regarding the holdpool, I don't think it's particularly full, just a little stagnant!
Best of luck to everyone involved.

I think BMI have more pressing issues to deal with:
Financial crisis could force bmi out of business in under a year - Times Online
In essence BMI need to find another £100million ON TOP of what Lufty has already said they will stump up (£93million) to continue as a going concern.
That is unbelievable! It looks like the LHR slots will have to go - but there's not a lot of spare cash floating around in aviation at the moment.
Good luck to all in BMI... it looks like you have a challenging year ahead.

LONDON (Dow Jones)--British Midland Airways, or bmi, Wednesday said it expected to be able to meet its financial commitments and had adequate resources to remain in operation.
Bmi, acquired earlier this year by German carrier Deutsche Lufthansa AG (LHA.XE), made its comments in a statement issued in response to an article in The Times newspaper, which suggested bmi might not be able to continue as a going concern beyond next year due to an acute funding crisis.
"The statement in the accounts clearly states that the directors and auditors believe that the company can meet its financial obligations going forward," bmi said in the statement.
"Additionally, with the current level of commitment shown by Lufthansa and with advanced business initiatives in place, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence in the future," it added.
The U.K. carrier currently is executing a restructuring plan to stem losses.
I think every airline will struggle in the next 12 months. The times article may or may not be accurate, but it's this kind of media speculation which can be the kiss of death for an airline. I hope they get proved wrong.
