No, your not in the hold pool, they will specifically tell you that.
As far as I know all applications get the response you get then after a certain time a review of applications is made and a certain amount will get the 'you are in the hold pool' e-mail.

Sluggums is correct.
An automated response; your application has been received on the computer but has not yet been scored by the recruitment team. When it has been you'll get another E-mail to say where you stand.

Guys thanks for you response.
In fact the site states that the after applying the application is either on hold or unsuccessful. Th six month update sentance got me thinking otherwise I guess
I just have to wait and see.

Hey Guys,
I got the you're in the hold pool email. Can you ballbark me any ideas about the hold pool? Does that mean they are likely to consider you soon for an interview? How many applications are in the pool at once, best case time frame for an interview etc.
Thanks in advance

It does mean you are up for consideration. However, the pool can be deep and if someone with better qualifications gets into the pool they will be at a shallower depth than you, therefore your time in the pool may be more or less than others.

My perception would be that if you are in the hold pool you should almost certainly be called for an interview, I would say within a 6 months to a year.
They may however be people who have been in longer, who can contradict what I said. It's a points sysstem that is used, total time, type ratings, and yes... which airline you are with etc

Yeah right, . . . . . i got the you're in the holding pool since 1993 (6,000 hours) until today (11,250 hours + 1,300 P1) and still in the holding pool, . . . . wrong skin color and not from OZ_land, Yanky_land or Euro_land.
The rate is 1 brown asian for every 20 intakes + 1 local (permanent) F/O, to please the Makhtum family, . . . . period, . . . . . so if your brown and asian go join EY.
Good Luck Brownies, . . . any fish fillet to go with your brownies and french fries lads?

Lorry Driver,
Would you be working for one of the over Gulf airlines? Might this be the reason you did not get a call from EK?
Enjoy the A300, and leave that racist cr@p for somewhere else.

Yo Bid G, . . . . . no thanks, I'm NOT interested any more, . . . . . like it where I am coz the management people are local Arabs and they are nice people - ie NON RACIST like me.
Don Corleone,
For what it is worth I am NOT the RACIST, guess who??? look around you and if you have the time look at Saudia & Gulf Air, . . . . . . who are the majority in these places, . . . . . why don't they promote and train locals, . . . . which is what we Ex-Pats are all about since those colonial days. WE ARE ONLY HERE TO HELP, . . . . . NOT TO PLANT OUR FOOT DEEP IN THE GROUND AND CREATE MORE PLACES FOR OUR KIND ONLY, . . . . matey
Do your job and go home man, . . . . . to me there's only ONE RACE = THE HUMAN RACE.

For someone new to the site Lorry_Driver you're certainly throwing things around - take a chill pill please. In fact let's all calm down please - you will resolve squat by blasting away at each other.
Thanks, 4HP

I guess I am lucky in a way, I am not dark brown, but I am asian.I don't see the things that you mention during my interview.
I have see ozzie, Yankie, and some turkish and 2 asian and some S.A, Italian......on the other group , I see Philipino, Korean.......so I don't see what you said in my interview, maybe the rate has been changed over the year . uhhh!!! Maybe just that month is Asian month for the interview.
Just point to share, everyone come for different reason, for me I just want to change for a new life (good or bad, I will know soon)

I have to agree with SS, I think a lot of people would like to leave, but the financial hooks that the company puts on us for the first few years, plus the beauraucratic BS of biblical proportions to get out of the UAE definately clouds your thinking.
It's not an excuse, but it is a large mental drag if you do want to leave

Think long and hard before committing to this place.
By all means come and do the interview, but don't be blinded by the slick 'roadshow' you will receive. If you have friends, or friends of friends, here that you can discuss the place with - then do so.
I came here thinking it was the right thing to do and I have never regretted a career move as much, but, as has been said, uprooting yourself from Dubai/Emirates is not straightforward.
It will cost you a lot of money to come out here and get set up, as an FO you WILL struggle financially(forget saving - your biggest worry will be not digging into your savings every month) and if you then decide to leave it will cost you again.
