A friend of mine has got a form and he phoned to find out the situation. He was told to hold on to the form until the New year and send it in then.
I would be interested to know whether of not they are interviewing type-rated pilots at the moment or whether they will use the 'so-called' hold pool.
I got the impression from my letter that all bets were off and there was no 'Hold pool'. It would be great if some-one could confirm this.
