"We thank you for your continued patience in awaiting news on your pending application following your successful completion of the selection process with Emirates.
The course plan for our Airbus Fleet has now been finalised and we are pleased that this week we offered positions to 24 candidates on the Airbus fleet to start in October and November. All these Airbus courses are CCQ (short) courses and therefore the candidates we offered places to all met the requirements to undergo a CCQ course here at Emirates. We offered positions to those that met the requirements and have been waiting longer than other candidates in the hold pool. At this stage we do not require any more First Officers to start on our Airbus Fleet for the remainder of the financial year.
In regards to our Boeing Fleet plan, the next courses we have planned for First Officers start in late January 2013. Therefore we are likely to start making some offers for those courses towards the end of September. We have not confirmed numbers at this stage.
As you have received this email, you continue to remain in a successful applicant pool from which we identify, select and fill our training courses to meet our Airline's training needs and fleet expansion plans. As you would be aware, Emirates is a rapidly expanding Airline and as a result, we experience change continually. It is possible then, that we may experience further changes to the above which could result in us requiring pilots to start sooner or later than we expect at this stage.
Please note your application currency is only valid for a period of one year from the date of completion of your selection programme, after which time if still interested, we would require you to reapply to us and you would need to be reassessed. The number of candidates in the applicant pool does exceed the expected number of new joining pilots this financial year. It is likely that we will not be able to offer all successful candidates a position before April 1st. Given the planned growth we have ahead of us though, our pilot numbers will undoubtedly continue to grow and therefore your desire to remain interested in a position with Emirates is important to us."

This part is at least frustrating. How can they invite you, pay you a f
business class seat to Dubai and the hotel, etc and then ooops we called more guys than we need. Such a lack planning.
