Guys,

The number of FOs quoted as going to the 380 is not correct. There are 57 pilots changing over in July. That being Captains and FOs. There my be 60 on the 380 course in Aug, but that is divided between Captains and FOs as well.
Remember that there are 12 380s to be delivered by end of March 2013, but 4 330 and 4 343 are returned in the same time frame (seems 4 343 are to be kept now).
Boeing deliveries reduce next year. The Boeing FO numbers are already in surplus to handle deliveries through to DEC. All out sourced Boeing training ends in Sept as numbers are met by then.
Keep flying and keep updating. Being in the hold pool is different from being offered a job.
