Hi jean paul,
Welcome on pprune. I also applied with QR, but so far never got a phone call. Never knew the real reason. Anyway, i kept on following this thread and i must say, i can draw 1 conclusion about QR: this company is always full, but full of surprises and tricks. In the past, now and probably as well in the future. I would not stare on this talent pool. So yes, in 1 year they might delete this holding pool, but you can also get a phonecall. If i were you, continue with your life and looking for another flying job. Dont reject other offers because QR might call you!!!! Thats a problem for later. Take what you can get and future will tell.
Good luck.
