I interviewed and simmed Nov 23, got an offer May and starting in Nov 24 for BHX Airbus DEC
I didn’t chase them during any of it, but I got the generic hold pool emails then a call for a course last month.
I understand Airbus deliveries got delayed by Airbus from 2 per month from Jan 24 to just 2 for the year, but that is due to ramp up from next year to 2-3 aircraft per month from Jan 25, so expect the hold pool for the Airbus to start moving fairly soon I’d suggest.
My experience in calling the recruitment dept has been very positive. I always left a friendly voicemail and gave times that l’d be available for a call back. They’ve been professional, open, honest and friendly, which is a total opposite from my current employer, so a good start so far!
