It's a bit odd that the people who applied in the brief (3 days was it?) online application apparently haven't heard anything yet.
Just a bit of my own unique mental diarrhea here but I'd have thought it takes, on average, about 5 minutes to read a CV/cover letter and decide if they warrant an interview.
Some will take longer, some will be an instant no, but supposing 5 minutes is an average that's 12 an hour. Call it 10 allowing for a coffee/fag/toilet break that's 70 in a 7 hour day and 350 in a week. The application closed nearly 6 weeks ago now, so that's enough time to read 2100 CVs.
I know that's only back of a fag packet, pub maths but surely they must have some idea of what they need and send out a few interview dates and PFOs.
Frustration is an understatement.

If they don't send out PFOs then how do unsuccessful candidates know they've been unsuccessful? They just sit and wait until they give up waiting?
I know other companies have done this, but surely it's much better to send out a PFO?

Cheers for that funny, sorry to hear you didn't get the interview.
Good luck to everyone else. If PFOs are going out it starts to look a bit more promising for those of us who haven't got one. Fingers crossed.

And there is a lot more to it than just looking through CVs!

I know, I'm not under any illusions that it's that simple. I just find it frustrating and a bit odd that nobody who applied 6 weeks ago has apparently heard anything until this afternoon. I'd have expected a steady stream of interviews and PFOs
Not to worry, at least things are moving now.

Recruitment
A small number of my bmi baby colleagues have been offered FO positions with MON at EMA on the A320. To the best of my knowledge, none are currently type rated. I believe that it is for Mar 2013 start. The HR dept have told me it may take 2 weeks to get through all the current CV's/applications.....
There's hope for us all yet!

Aquarius, any idea when exactly they interviewed? A start date that's 8-9 months away shows a very early commitment by Monarch. Some might call it strange 
Any typed guys with say less than 500 hours on type heard anything yet?
