Start pay is more than that now, 33k was last year. Will hopefully go up again in April 09 if they honour the pay deal. Not that there's much chance of getting into bmir at the moment as redundancies are being rumoured as work dries up and aircraft leases expire...
and yes, FO pay is the same regardless of ATPL temperature.

yes aircraft are being pulled out of LHR, and possibly getting rid of 2 aircraft when the expensive leases expire and possible redundancies as a result. needless to say no recrutiment at the moment. will be a bumpy 2009 me thinks.
good luck everyone.

Yes, 2 aircraft are to leave LHR.
Most likely 2 Aircraft leases not to be renewed this year....... but seeing as the 145's can be bought 2 for the price of 1 at the moment I would expect a cheque to be written to 're-acquire' the same aircraft! I think the talk of redundancies is jumping the gun a little.
Many rumors of German routes from Leeds, Manchester and few others as well as operating the LHR feeders from the 'outstations.'
Noone knows what 2009 will bring....but many of us are still remaining optimistic for the future.
Any of you guys applying for jobs.....I wouldn't give up hope of movement this year, the Regional/Business market seems to be the most stable of any in these uncertain times.

With the Lufthansa take over a few days off, any new rumours starting to filter out. Or is it all still an unknown plan of action. If the 2 acft go back, would the 2 acft that were due last year before the big freeze arrive in their place if that is a cheaper option. Are there many guys at bmir waiting in the BA / Easy / Monarch or other Hold pools ? I hope its a good new year for bmir

Im afraid that the guessing game may go on for a while longer. The general word around mainline and the BMI forum on prune is that Lufthansa wont be taking over until March at the earliest due to them being in final stages of the Austrian deal.

It looks like we'll be treading water for a little while longer. No news expected for those of us in the hold pool until late February at the ealiest. The only good news is there are no rumours of the pool being closed down. I've been waiting since Feb 2007, Anyone been waiting longer?
