Waiting in a hold pool...what would you do?
Here's a bit of a dilemma question for hold poolers...
You're in a hold pool with the possibility of getting a call sooner rather than later. Nothing is guaranteed, so in effect you are hanging... The company is a decent one with good prospects and decent aircraft.
What do you do for work while in the pool? Do you accept a lesser flying job (or any flying job!) while waiting, all at the risk of compromising the hold pool offer (if there is a bond involved anywhere)? Do you sit in some office based job in sheer frustration, watching your phone everyday hoping for that illusive call? Or do you give it a set period of time and then decide to move ahead and take any flying work you can get?
Just curious, because the mental torture is killing me!!
