Firstly, some have already been in the hold pool for more than a year. At last count, there were still some people from the September AQC in the pool, and not heard that there's been any movement recently.
Cancelling the pool I'd like to think would be damaging to CTC's reputation. They are a well respected type rating provider after all, and partner airlines like to have a mix of FO's including a few low houred ones. If CTC is doing the type ratings, it's in the airline's interest to take on a few CTC-recommended people (ie out of the pool) as it saves them having to interview, sim ride, etc. etc. In that respect, CTC is acting as a recruitment agency too.
Changing the conditions - let's hope not....
PS: Must have had the web page open for longer than I thought and Mintflavour beat me to it. Same sentiments though.
