The situation is this (just so people don't have to ask the same questions):
Hold pool is based on your final interview date and runs from Feb to April (roughly - the mid point of the hold pool in terms of numbers is mid-March). All airbus courses are now filled for the rest of the year (financial year). A number of people have been fished out of the pool to start in the next few months (777 and A330) but these are people who are not currently flying. There are (or were) roughly 150 pilots in the hold pool, most or all of whom are FOs.
The next 777 course is due to be held in Jan 13 and people will be selected for the next course based on their interview date only.
If there is anything inaccurate there - please feel free to correct me.
