I would indeed Saffer.......
It's amazing what rugged looks and a Scots accent can do to the ladies (being a pilot isn't a bad thing either
), watch 'em fall!
bored aren't you...

TartanFlyer you wouldn't happen to be the same Scotsman who demonstrated impeccable skills with the Belgium women recently, if so I bow down before thee in admiration always...
I gather there was only one Scotsman in Belgium!!! It was I that lost the Teddy in the Forest Park Hotel, God Bless him!

I guess the selecting thing out of the holdpool is a bit of a gray area. Will have to wait and see.
If you lost a teddy in the Forest Park Hotel its probaly those yellow ducks that got him.
Beware the yellow ducks hunt in packs!

You get selected based on how well you performed on the AQC, as AustralianGoose mentioned in a previous post. The important thing is that you can't remain in the pool for longer than 1 year 
Basically the guys who have been in the pool the longest are the guys who did really badly and only just got through the AQC...they know who they are
I did really well and scored mostly "normals" throughout, luckily I therefore shouldn't be swimming for much longer. Feel free to PM me if you need any more info...
Good luck everybody,
TF

I based the 'gray area' bit on the fact that Thorer didn't agree with AustralianGoose nor did Superpilot on the previous posts.
Also when I meant 'gray area' it wasn't to mean 'dodgy' or anything like that at all if that is how you understood it. I'm sorry will make myself clearer next time.
Basically I was meaning that not everyone seems to fully agree on what method CTC select out of the holdpool. Thats not an unreasonable comment to make. I've only derrived this from what has been said in previous posts.
At the end of the day I'm not complaining just very glad to be in this holdpool.

OK.. well suggest you re-read the posts. Superpilot, Thorer and myself are all in agreement and Australian-Goose is (I hope) joking. Is it not obvious that the method that Australian Goose describes is totally bonkers and goes completely against everything else in this thread?
Anyway, welcome to the pool - hope you're not swimming as long as me!

Hiya everyone! I just jumped in the pool a few weeks ago (hi MB , good job
!) and I've been monitoring this thread ever since. Today I thought it was time to make an appearance.... I might just soon want to join in on this increasingly interesting discussion about the way this pool is being drained....
Anyways, it's very very nice to be here with you guys and gals, can't wait to see you on a type rating!
Best of luck!

This comes on the back of months and months of twiddling ones thumbs, tentatively logging onto PPrune to see if there's been any movement from the pool towards the airlines - waiting for that elusive mail to appear in the inbox setting a start date. You see it’s all about the date, about having a set time to work towards thereby having set expectations...
Without expectation the wait will eventually start to drain your sanity, confidence and community standing. Your pets and family will start to look at you in a different light, one day you will arrive home and "they" would have padded the walls for you, the nice nurse will take care of you though and administer your medication with a glowing smile always. Your dreams will be plagued by those bloody yellow ducks, with their beady yellow eyes and sharp yellow beaks, the will hunt you, chasing you till you fall from exhaustion…
Fear not, welcome to our World – the World of the deep dark holdpool

Well if its any comfort to you guys easyJet do need you and it is down to a complete lack of training captains with hours left. There are a few captains who are going on courses and captains who are just getting the experience they need on the bus before commencing duties again so expect to see movement again. I was lucky enough to go through when the pool was being cleaned ready for you guys

I hear easyJet now have all the required trainers in place, but there is some restriction in sim time available. The sims are full of ongoing easyJet currency work through Spring, so April / May should see some movement.
Have not heard anything about the other partner airlines since.

Hi Honeycomb,
Welcome to pprune and congratulations with passing the AQC. Bet your already missing the ducks, suicidal horses and especially the tasty and healthy cuisine
of a certain hotel! Think we maybe here for a while.
Hope there are pool movements soon don't think Saffer can take much more.

Hi Guys
I just returned from 6 weeks travelling and believe me: It is more fun travelling and drinking Piña Coladas in Thailand than swimming around in the pool!
Anyways - Hopefully we will see some movement soon.
Some entertainment while waiting:

Mate, for a chap who just lost his Teddy and can't move on with life as a result, it suprises me that you would post in the Cabin Crew forum asking about your chances of success on layovers due to your "senior" role on the flight deck

Not suprisingly they closed the thread!
