beastman787,
Before anyone else says anything, and I'm not having a go at you, it may be a idea to bear in mind that when you post, how it may appear to certain people who may be reading. We all need a break somewhere to start our careers, be it at a 'big' airline like BA, a 'medium' one like easyJet or Thomas Cook, a 'smaller' airline like Flybe or maybe, as Im sure MANY people reading will have done, even smaller than that, instructing, flying freight and air taxi.
However, by insinuating that you need the job more than others just because they have a 'career to fall back on', I do believe you are showing a massive disrespect to those people who may have lost their jobs at the likes of XL, Silverjet, Oasis etc. etc. etc.
Everyone in that hold pool deserves the job as much as the next person. They have all passed the selection, they are all worthy of the job.
As regards how they will pluck people out of the pool, who knows...
Maybe, if BA have a requirement for 20 people on the A320, they will look at the hold pool and select 20 people who are A320 type rated and current so that they keep their training costs down, irrespective of when they passed their sim check.
Maybe they will do it strictly by when sims were passed.
Whatever they chose to do, there is nothing YOU can do now, you've done your bit. You just have to sit tight and wait for the magic phone call. In the mean time, think about how your posts could rub people up the wrong way and how, IF this is based on an attitude you have, this could affect your career once you start your first job, whoever it may be with.
P.S. May I say, that was a timely edit to your original post :-)
