You're a good man, thanks for the heads up. Hope I get an interview!!!:uhoh:

Kempus 31st Mar 2008 12:15

Hey folks!

Anymore news? Its been so long since my interview but can anyone remind me what the roster pattern is like in mainline?

I hope they give more than 24 hours notice though!! Ouch!
All good practice for the sort of notice of roster changes you can expect.






Actually, that's not quite true.........







........you'll get much shorter notice of roster changes. :p

Cloud Bunny 4th Apr 2008 15:56

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.....:ok:

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!

My man in the know from the training dept says that 14 new guys to be trained from the pool between now and August. Just the messenger so don't shoot me (down):}

bmi regional
 
Anyone know if there is going to be any movement soon in the bmi Regional holding pool.

bmibus 13th Apr 2008 14:35

bmi mainline
 
The course planned for the 23rd April has def been cancled! Only a few weeks ago I was told that most in the pool would be used by Dec 08, but who knows... There maybe hope for the mid may course but again who knows....

bmibus,

do you know if people had been given a start date and signed a contract for the cancelled course?

Cloud Bunny 13th Apr 2008 17:43

Why the cancellation? :mad::mad::mad::*

bmibus 16th Apr 2008 13:36

Honest answer is I don't know if people were given start dates, but I don't think so.

Regards

tonyic7 16th Apr 2008 17:40

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......

Kempus 27th Apr 2008 11:58

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!

SinBin 27th Apr 2008 17:41

Not likely in the near future mate, SMB is more interested in buying rather than selling.

Cloud Bunny 7th May 2008 09:11

Any news? Keep updating my hours on the application and starting to develop a twitch! All seems to have quiet on the Lufthansa front as well.

bmibus 16th May 2008 18:56

I believe there is only one course now in June as there were two planned, which starts around the 8th of June.

Todders 28th May 2008 14:23

Any news anyone??
