they will give you more notice than that, they may not be able to honor your requested interview date, but if you were told you'll have a interview then it will be done.. sooner or later.
it is a continuing process, I see new hires / new faces on a daily basis in the training center either for evals, or courses. as I have said many time QA has been hiring a steady stream of pilots for many many years now. the urgency has not changed, when the A330 first arrived it was even worse than this. and 1 came every month for 32 month, not to mention more than 25 A320, 321 and 319's at the same time.. then came the A346's.
so having said that.. these 12 B777 we'll have by the end of the year ( and 5 more A320's) is standard growth.. so yes you are correct, the hiring department is ALWAY trying to play catch-up with the fleet and route growth.. we need guys, so you'll get the interview in due time.

they have been known to send a "Thanx but No thanks" to some, and sometimes you'll here nothing.. there is no good excuse, but you must remember how many guys are being selected / rejected.. granted interviews / denied interviews.. guys that say they will come but in the end never show up ( yes that does happen allot shame to say) the story goes on and on.. your question... "Has anyone else been called?"... yes many. as mentioned in other posts, 4 courses per month 2 for the Airbus and 2 for the Boeing.. all with at least 6 to 12 candidates in each course..
