It would seem that very few non-rated or those who haven't previously been in the hold pool have got an invite so far. Those that have must have been exactly what BA were looking for.
I have nearly 2000hrs medium jet (not a BA type) and applied on the 16th July and haven't heard yet.

Guys, relax!!
Unlike Virgin, they will get back to each and everyone of you, whether it be a yes or a no.
Once your application is in, there's nothing you can do. As has been said before, no news is good news!
When you join BA, you'll find yourself hanging around a lot out of LHR so get the practice in!

Got that email
I applied on 19th, and it's been the longest 10 days of my life waiting for an answer, ANY answer! Got the email this morning inviting me for a date in September.
1800 hours TT, 1600 jet, non-relevant type rating.
Good luck to everyone applying

Currently filling in the BA DEP scheme application and looking for a bit of help.
The question regarding decision making, sources of information and how others were influenced; I am torn between a few answers as to what to choose.
Have a few flying related experiences that I could use (each equally different) and a few from previous employment in the airport. Not sure whether to use an example that is more technical in terms of flying, an answer that is more focused to customer commitment or an answer that has not a lot to do with flying at all.
Any help would be appreciated - really dont want to mess it up!
