BA Direct Entry Pilot.

[Retrojet]

From what I have heard, some A320 offers might have gone out today... fingers crossed!

[WonderBus]

They have yes, 320 for LHR

[thetimesreader84]

Good news.

Do we know when the lucky ones came into the hold pool? I.e. how far through the hold pool are BA? I heard during the last intake a few weeks ago they were up to about mid October hold pool entry dates.

[Mizar]

Timesreader, true but these were only 320 rated afaik

[sudden twang]

if anyone is in the pool with experience as a DFO you maybe in luck.

[G SXTY]

Ooh, you are naughty.

[AIMINGHIGH123]

At least half a dozen pilots from our outfit (BEE) got the call last week.

[captain.weird]

For rated 320 positions?

[CXKA]

Be interesting to know when they entered pool as doubt are 320 rated, my sim partner still waiting to get the call.

[Flyer2007]

I know of a couple of people being offered 777 and 747 in the last few days. They have a current Boeing rating.

[Retrojet]

From people I know.....late Oct to Nov holdpoolers and a320 type rated

[Mizar]

Those who got long haul offers is it possible to know when they had their sims?

[dhps]

I got a call for a long haul position early February.

My sim was back in April 2016, I am a 737 FO, approx 5000 hrs.

[midnight cruiser]

Quite a volte face from when they used to turf people out of the pool after only 12 months

[Fadecwithnos]

For the A320, does anyone know if its a short notice necessity?
Or we will be requested to be in the hold pool for several months?

[Flyer2007]

May and June for the LH offers I believe. So getting through the Boeing hold poolers fairly quickly, unless there’s a bulge of them further on in the pool.

[Retrojet]

A320 offers are going out with just about the 3months notice

[Mizar]

May and june sim checks getting called now, is it confirmed?

[Boeing 77W]

The last few weeks appear to have been a mixed bag. I know of 777/787/747 rated guys doing their sim checks between May and September 2016, now starting in May. Other non rated who did sim checks in April also starting in May.

[AIMINGHIGH123]

The guys/gals I know going from Flybe all got offered A320.
