Just thought i would start a new thread for the holding pool pilots.
Unfortunatly i donīt have much new info but here is what i know.
Britannia took on 6 CTC cadets in June on a tempory basis (six months). They are now said to be interviewing up to 17 Type rated pilots from JMC for direct entry onto 757. They have also announced a sponsership scheme for 6 cadets to start training down at Bae systems in February.
So thats the basicīs. This does show that the airline market is beginning to bubble again.
I, and iīm sure others in the pool would appricate any comments on the situation and rumours on future plans regarding both the pool and when general recruitment may begin again.

ps: feel free to correct my info as itīs only what iīve picked up on PPrune and though friends etc.
