As a complete aside, are the A318 trips to JFK biddable as a Junior on the Airbus fleet? Or should I get my coat?

Hi Guys
I recently attended Day 1 selection (this week).
I was in the hold-pool in 2008.
In 2008 I got a "well done" phone call the morning after the first day's assessments. This year they have said that you will get an e-mail within 5 working days with a "yes" or "no".
Does anybody know if you are likely to still get a positive response even after a couple of days?
I'm inpatient and want to know if not hearing the next day is a bad sign (I don't think the interview went that well!!)
Cheers

26 days and still no reply.
I wonder how they are sorting through the applications. I must have been one of the first to apply but still haven't heard. Has anyone that applied before the Sunday 17th still not heard or am I the only one?
Thanks.

Guys,
For what its worth, and I have been accused on another thread of having
but from the horses mouth those interviewing this week who are successful can expect a sim session end of Oct beginning of Nov to be in the hold pool in mid Nov and expect courses end of Mar 1012.
Therefore those in the pool now, can expect courses before that time. You will be fished out in the order that you went in unless BA want something particular i.e. a specific TR then you may be fished out early. Most peeps will be going SH.
Regards
ps: Also, of the 800 pilots BA are looking to recruit by 2016, 140 have already been selected since recruitment reopened last year. So there are 660 places left.
