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!

kempus

Still hanging in there mate too, lets just keep our fingers crossed......

Anyways, its pub time!! :E

(thanks again for before mate!)

Good luck guys, not sure what the future holds what with today. You may be waiting an awful long time!!

In line with recent unfortunate events, what's the situation with BMI economically?

Hey guys my speedos are starting to chafe.

But i tell you what i do know of, a couple, infact four A330's a certin lease company may not be wanting anymore.

Come on BMI go get, i'm in serious need of a job now.

^^^^^^^^
You tell em' mate!

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!!!:ugh:

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!

kempus

Yeah heard a rumour about that memo kempy. Need to send you a word doc if you could forward it on to the appropriate person anyways that would be great mate.

My info well im talking about the 4 A330's we had on order.

Myself I've been here since the start of july last year but until recently lol was keeping myself going on the 737 as well.

I'll see what I can do although that memo seems to be effecting me also at the mo!

Anyone spoke to BB this month?

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.

Hi everyone!

In the pool since Aug' 2007! Meanwhile keeping myself busy on the old A300.
Hearing lots of rumours about bmi...don't know what to believe anymore.

Just hang in there I guess!!

Toddy, how R U mate?!!

Adios!

Hey Gilles, good to hear from you and good to here your still flying! So is there about 12 left in the pool?

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

kempus

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

Gilles hi ya mate good to hear from you hope all is well. Any big stories across your side you the channel? Was speaking to Ferdi on msn the other day, hard life that boys got lol think he was in KUL about to head to KLX.

As for the rumours all very well but please dont sell up before i get a job with ya's please my bank needs paid...

Any of you guys working as cc for bmi on here at all???
Whats it working out like, how much you making if you dont mind me asking might see if i can can get something for a while not looking too good to get anything else this winter. Who ever said a type rating and hours where useful lol.

Hi all, Kempus, where did you hear that there was 12 in the pool? Hope something happens before mid May otherwise I have the joy of jumping back in the Seneca:eek: Lets hope 2009 brings some much needed good news!

hey tony, i'll send you a text of people i know still waiting. Toddy a good friend who you know too has gone down the cc route very recently but been put in a holdpool believe it or not and expecting a course jan/feb.

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!

kempus

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 :ok:

just to clarify it was for cabin crew course expected to start early 2009!
