I received an e-mail in early December, placing me in the holding pool for EK. I fully expect to be there for the better part of a year before I may be invited for an interview. The e-mail specifically states that being in the holding pool does not guarantee an interview.
All the same, I am hopeful that they'll find a spot for me.
For the previous pilot who asked, I have 8000 hours and an A-330 endorsement.
Best of luck to everyone. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
