EASA license
If you have an EASA FCL from another European Union country, what is the procedure to convert it to a UK license? I didn't find good information on this. Any advice is appreciated :-). However, I cannot believe that they require a UK license before you did the interview.

The Airbus routes have changed significantly over the last 18 months. Occasional high houred trips which require a 3 man crew, otherwise all short 2 man trips. Normal full time rosters are now 4 to 5 trips per month, very occasionally 6 depending where you are on your hours target (minimum 2 days off between trips). This will reduce when the A350 comes in 2019 with longer houred trips. More hours = less trips in total throughout the year - so with a mixture of long Caribbeans (4 to 6 days away) and Long flights (20 hrs + 4 days trip) the rosters would probably reduce to 3 to 4 trips per month.
Our Pilot Schedule Agreement saves us from unpleasant rostering, however, the Airbus life is harder at the moment but will hopefully improve when the A350 arrives.

Looks like they've targeted A330 guys first, and maybe they have found enough before moving onto A320 people.
I imagine they will do with same with Boeing guys-747 first, then NTR if they can't get enough candidates.

GA F15 - does certainly look that way, or at least that's what I'm telling myself for the sake of preserving my ego!
Until, of course, someone with only 320 experience rolls up saying they have been invited to interview, thus blowing the aforementioned theory out of the water... then it'll be straight back to crying

I applied last November, and got an email back in Demember saying that they are only looking for 787 rated people now (then) and that they'd hold onto my application for 12 months. Last month I got an email asking me to update my hours and to resubmit my updated application. I presume I'd have got a PFO last year had my application not been at least of some interest.
I don't remember any specific questions to answer on the original application other than personal details and to upload a CV; possibly a covering letter too. Find it strange if a cover letter wasn't required how they decide who gets an interview and who gets a PFO.
6500 hours (2800 PIC) 737- no reply yet.
