2 or 3 months from interview to starting is the 'normal' timeframe. It's changed now due to the DEC hiring, which led to the pool many of you are in. The pool is Darwinian in nature. You're selected out of the pool in order of your relative desirability, as assessed in the interview. Those who scored the highest have started or will soon start, lower scores are still waiting. The good news is that the lower scores are still good enough and it should only be a matter of time. I can also confirm new hires can go to the 380. Initially, only those with extensive airbus time, but I expect that will change soon enough. Good luck.
