holding pool
 

Cheeky Visual - you sound like a member of the holding pool and as everyone knows the holding pool is for 100 hr potential Asda shelf stackers (or Tesco). No one seems to have told you that the Eastern pilots have had their contracts from BMI and are due to start training on July 4th, so hard luck and don't bump into too many frogs in the pool - try Air France, the tide leaves in half an hour... And to any other holding pool dipsticks - sorry chaps, u just aint got the hours - it's not the sort of weather for C150's at the moment! But then again, there is always Microsoft Flight Simulator. I'll bet some of you wear uniforms in the bedroom while flying to France. :(

bilderberger
I'm not going to bite, but needless to say your perception of the holdpool is quite inaccurate.

And of course I wear my uniform in the bedroom ;)

Flying Macaco......I concur. An inaccurate perception indeed :=

Bilderberger are you sure you have spelled your name correctly. Why make an unnecessary attack on the people in the holding pool? Hope it made you feel bigger.

Hope the Eastern guys enjoy the job.

To those who think I have an incorrect perception.....I know one of the lads in the holding pool who has 400 hours........300 of which were done using a Parker Pen!

Sounds to me like its the only place you do wear that uniform in the bedroom.......Most of us call them pyjamas!

Most people in the holding pool know that they have more chance of getting a mystery gift of readers digest, but if its any concilation the society for disabled workers are looking for ringer outers for one arm window cleaners!!!

Most of the postings on this site are from people who know nothing about the industry and if your interested in my hours think 30,000+ on any type you care to mention!

Your just a bunch of Wannabes that wear pilots uniforms from RSH who sneak into the papershop late at night and eveyone thinks they are a pilot, when they should really be stacking shelves!

Hey, Bilderberger, why the venom?

Maybe. And, hopefully, they would get weeded out. Others in there have a tad more experience. Whatever has caused your rant, well, you have my sympathy.

Oh, btw, yes, I’ve written the Pool off for the foreseeable future. I was unavailable last year when I had several calls from the Company and, now, having left my last job to “become available” find myself totally shafted by a Recession and a Lufty takeover and Flybe and Eastern. And I’m glad the Eastern guys and gals have been taken on. Does me no good at all but I’d not wish anyone into my shoes! :ok:

Cheers, BFF, m8vrk and Flying Macaco! Poor Bilderberger – must have got out the wrong side of bed! :}

30 000 hours + at the age of 36 and on so many types! That's very impressive! (I do get your point and those who cheat will get what they deserve)

But............Chill out Cheeseburger and have a little respect for others that have done nothing wrong.

bmir has in the past regularly taken low hours guys. It was a mechanism to prevent them pissing off too early! The hours of the recruits seems to reflect the experience of the current FO body. IE lots of higher time fo's then they recruit from lower hours guys. The reason being to give the fo's who hang around long enough time to get an upgrade.

Good Karma guys and girls. The industry is in bits so everyone is getting a bit testy!

Thanks Bilderburger you've brightened up my afternoon. Just when I thought that my life couldn't get any worse, you made me realise, I could be you..:D

things only get better for me
 

i've been in this business a long time and i can assure you things can get worse.
this site is for pilots who know what theyre doing so you may as well check out.
the last frozen atpl i checked out on a twin tried to write off a local garden centre on the assymetric go-around.
if i hadnt had pulled the gear up and given some right boot the centre would have resembled a scene from die hard!
as for the eastern crew "well done" after the yrars of first class service to airbus why not.
you wannabe's ought to beg eastern for a job because i know their standards are second to none.
you'll learn how to be a prof pilot.
as for me well i was 36 once upon a time and was flying when your parents were listening to the bay city rollers
so have some respect hey'kid

nothing
 

to suitcaseman.

it should read "those who have done nothing"
dont you know that the only flight level they will ever reach will be in a multi-storey

tad
 

to hot n high.

i hope tad doesnt mean an mcc course which is as much use as an ashtray on a motorcycle.

bilderberger

With person skills like yours, maybe thats why you don't get the best out of the fATPL guys! You may not agree with the pool dwellers, but they will learn about this industry soon enough. I couldn't fly when I took my first breath on this planet, could you?

Chill

bilderberger

Not even going to bother answering my friend! ;)

Deep and Fast,

If we all ignore bilderberger maybe he'll go away! He's just on a mission just to wind people tonight up me thinks! I'm off for some "sanity" in JB!!!! :ok:

Agghhh, Captain Kid, don't encourage him!!! ;)

To Hot n High:

Just hope and prey that you dont come to me for your next IR renewal (Thats if you have got one!!) because the standards ive seen lately are dire!


Who knows i might of already of failed you on your first one!

Hot n High, where did you get that idea from: dont tell me....Not Performance A on the Tri Star!? CAP385

Finished flying them years ago.

Think someone's knickers may be a little too tight 2nite :p

Hi all,been at bmir for five years and finally today got the nod that starting in Chester on 29th June !!!!!!!!!!
No extra units at first but rumours are XO and XN kept on as charter dept close to securing more contracts.
I honestly believe that being the most punctual airline in the UK has played a big part in securing these contracts.
My friend at Eastern based in Chester has been offered Wick which he is taking because apparentley looking for people to go part time.

ahoy the captain

XO XN leases expire 4th Q this year so the price for any new lease will be a major issue. Punctuality may have been a factor but Eastern were always second I think. A testament to all the crews I think.

D and F :8

How many crew were based at EGNR with Eastern? How many of these have been given contracts at Bmir? Any one from Eastern out there like to confirm this, all seems to be coming from friends of friends of sisters cleaners best mate.:confused: If XO and XN are kept on, and these two EX Flybe acft arrive will there be a requirement for more crew, extra to the Eastern people that may have been taken on through TUPE?

To Deep n Fast:

Why dont you do us all a favour and go and play with Buzz light year! He is probably still on your bedroom shelf riding my little pony!


and as far as captain feathersword goes rumour has it your a coffin dodger, your about to fall off the pearch!

Sorry but Bilderberger no where near Chester and as for punctuality its mixed up for the hidden code purpose!

You're a leaky bucket my son,

Your stats just don't add up - 30,000+ hours?
Assuming you got your licence at 18 you'd have to have flown 900 hours a year for the last 32 years. Or are you too gifted with the parker pen? Perhaps that explains why you're such a twisted, billious ar*ehole.
Professional pilot? Don't make me laugh - with an attitude like yours any self respecting Dir Flt Ops or Chief Pilot would have kicked your sorry butt out of the office pronto. You certainly wouldn't get past Uncle Bill or Stuart M.
Anyway don't want to keep you you've probably got a seneca to pre flight and some poor little stude to terrify.
Tw@t

Why such an attack on the hold pool I wonder? Does this weed have a grudge to bear?

No one wants to loose their job, but its hardly the fault of anyone in pool.

to looker
 

well it wont be you
youre probably too busy flying a 777 on ms flight sim and the dolly is your mum with your ready brek:yuk:

to angrybaby
 

we're not blaming anyone in dorsett

to feather something
 

what a load of bo##ocks

Ah, Bildersbum, you're back.

Have to say, impressed that you obviously have the pedals and a scenery upgrade for your own copy of Flightsim, you must be a real anorak:8

Keep taking the meds dear, you'll feel better soon.

This makes two numpties that I have seen from Fyfe! The other pretends to govern a country...

And what are these bay city rollers you mention?

Build a burger,,,you obviously have a lot of time on your hands away from flipping at the local mobile Fat boy burger bar. Besides I wouldn't be too ashamed at getting the extra stripes for adding mayonnaise. If you knew anything about regional you would know that shiny shoes and a beard are de-rigueur. Its nice you take such a healthy interest, the glamour of flying the junglejet might just overload someone with such many many hours. :yuk::yuk::yuk:

Crm whats Crm......

Jenson:cool:

As for the Eastern guys being given contracts, still rumour - but i'm standing by to eat my hat. (I've still got mine to protect from the rain)

dingerbell
 

The only near miss you have had is when you went to the front of the classroom to complete a sum in your short trousers!

To Looker
 

My old pal Brian Trubsh@w said that anyone who drops names is running on 11 Volts - in other words if your life was built on the Otto Cycle you are clearly in the ineffective crank angle

to jenson button
 

if you do end up eating your hat rip off the braid first or you'll end up with teeth like a burnt out fuseboard:D

i presume bilderberger knows the square root of f#ck all...

gentleman/ladies - may i introduce you to the "block" function! its amazing - you never hear from that idiot on the posts ever again.

in terms of the eastern/airbus contract, we are non the wiser within bmir as to what is happening.

keep swimming.

I was wrong - I admit it.

You obviously didn't have a seneca to pre flight today, or probably any other day.

If I ever have the mis-fortune to fly with anyone who displays an attitude such as yours they'd be offloaded at the first convenient opportunity.

Best you get back to your computer and pilot dreamland.

EmbraerFO

Thanks for the tip re the block function, no need to listen to Bilders Bum's cr@p any longer :ok:
