Emirates 'hold pool'
I have recently been placed in the Emirates 'hold pool' for an interview and I have some questions for anyone in the know at EK-
1) Just how significant is this? The email EK sent me to inform me of my status was clear in stating that being in the hold pool was not a guarantee of an interview. So does being in this 'hold pool' really mean much or am I still in competition with thousands of other pilots? Just what percentage of people in the pool get interviews anyway?
2) What is a typical wait time for people in this pool for getting an interview (assuming an interview is ever offered)?
Thanks.
