Word around the campfire is actually that HP'ers will have priority to do the selection, but that the requirements changed and that some of them will not be able to participate in the selection.
Really curious what the requirements are, but the person I spoke to (....eh yeah) told me that there is opportunity for everyone as long as you fit the minimum requirements. If that's that old "A UK issued JAA/CAA ATPL(F) with at least 750 hours recent experience on a jet/turboprop transport category aeroplane with a MTOM>10 tonnes or an approved seating configuration of not less than 20 seats" I'm sure there will be hordes of CV's on their desks.
Good luck passing the sift ...
