Don't loose sight of what has happened here.
BA were specific that a place in their hold pool wasn't a contractual offer of employment. You only have to look to 2008 to observe that.
Every person that applied for a DEP position at BA did so before the bmi acquisition and pay point 2 were publicly conceived.
TUPE regulations have most probably left BA over-crewed. If they had their way BA would rather have offered contracts to hand selected, less expensive DEPs.
The FPP scheme was always going to feature highly or possibly even exclusively in any subsequent recruitment at BA.
Unfortunately, until you receive that contract, all you can do is hope that the immense level of effort and preparation that you dedicate to the process will bare fruit. The airline industry is a ****ty game and just because BA are regarded as a company of integrity doesn't make it any less ****tier. I too jumped through all the hoops and feel pretty convinced that nothing will come from it. You roll the dice, you take your chances. Maybe I'll have better luck in guessing six numbers tomorrow night?
