I too have just got the letter saying my 2 years in the pool has expired, but to be honest i am not that bothered. As an F/O with Britain"s flag carrier getting close to a command after 6 years, i say "sod them" I only wanted to join for 2 reasons ie... quick on the command on the 737 @ LGW and the pension, both of which have long since gone.
My memories of the selection are such that i would not be applying again, with the exception of the sim ride with a Concorde gentleman who was a delight to fly with, and was a big giggle. He even paid for my big fry-up in the staff canteen at 7 in the morning. If we meet again TB the beers are on me!!
All in all, unless you are under 30 it does not look that attractive any more, but will continue to drink and be merry with the top guys and gals i bump into in NRT, HKG, JNB etc!!.
Right, back to my large glass of St. Emillion.
