Wake up call?
The European, US and Chinese economies are headed for serious trouble and some here are speculating about an expansion in 2012? 
If the crisis year 2009 is of any reference, then 2012 could get really interesting and we will soon find out how reliable (?) our new 'partner' from the Middle East will turn out to be...
Perhaps any future expansion will be in DOH instead of LUX?

If CargoLux is not hiring for awhile, you could always apply to Qatar Airways... QR is part owner of Cargolux. If you have Boeing time you might get hired onto the 777 at QR (hiring quite a bit) and then get the chance to fly the 777F. I am pretty sure the 777Fs visit LUX. I am sure upgrade time is much faster at QR.

Iver;
Well... With all respect, I would like to argue that living in Europe working for Cargolux is not quite the same as flying for Qatar based in Doha...
I guess a little patience is what's needed.. They'll hire again sooner or later.

Hiring 2012
Well, airlines tend to go into panic mode when the economy is slowing down. Inside talks are about hiring freeze for 2012, but also heard 40-60 new pilots needed for additional A/C. So anything can happen. The only time to tell if 2012 will see new pilots been hired is at the end of dec 2012!
Good luck to everyone, things are looking brighter then the mood makes you feel!

@glc660 & 80sghost:
Can't say for sure but what I know is that around beginning-mid November, CV decided to stop the hiring for at least December and January because of a big drop in cargo handling and the worsening worldwide economic crisis (which is yet only at its beginning).
Last Friday (9th of December), there was apparently a board meeting to decide whether the hiring would only postponed or completely canceled until the situation improves. Haven't heard anything about the results of that meeting yet...

I called Interpersonal/Career-aero this morning and they told me that Cargolux has no need for first officers at the moment.
Maybe a small number IF they decide to hire f/o's but not before the second half of 2012..

word was that a few new joiners may be send home as of this month, due to the current slow down. Very sad indeed especially after the recent recruitment drive in Lux. Best of luck to all.
