Does anyone have any info on the current hold pool? Particularly now that DEP vacancies are being advertised.

Holdpool update email
 

Hey guys and girls,

Did anyone else receive the holdpool email saying they need to reapply for the position in the holdpool?

I got this last night.

Also - has anyone here converted their license from EASA to CAA? I applied last month but wondering how long this usually takes atm?

Cheers!

I haven’t received an email.

Is it asking you to re-apply for the job from the beginning, or is there a process to re-apply to stay in the hold pool?

If you completed the process and hold a conditional offer then it’s only the latter

I know a few gone through that recently and took them 6 months!!!

Speaking from my own personal experience, 6 months is about right

Took me best part of a year (that was back in 2020)

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet…

Any chance of non rated DEC?!🤣

Where do they think they are going to get Current A320 Captains from other than perhaps Wiz?

From that page:

• Height between 1.57m (5’2”) and 1.91m (6’3”). Qualified pilots taller than 1.91m may submit an application but will be required to undergo a functionality check to confirm their ability to meet requirements of the searing positions in the BA Euroflyer fleet.
• Good level of physical fitness
• Spoken and written English ICAO level 6

"searing positions"? Gosh I know the BA LGW fleet is old, but it doesn't even have air conditioning???

Maybe the person who wrote the job advert should get their ICAO level 6 English sorted???

Anyone know what the current T&C are for euroflyer? Is it still similar to the 2021 deal or have they started to improve it so they can have a chance to actually bring people over for it?

"Competitive"

Has anyone heard anything back from them yet?

Guessing HR have taken a long weekend due to the public holiday as there were no extra assessments added this week.

Very few non front line (ie on the day cabin / flight crew, ops, crewing) managers at BA work weekends or bank holidays.

I'm sure normal service will resume from 9am tomorrow, Tuesday, morning. Probably after a cup of Earl Grey.

As has every other HR department in the country. It might be annoying but it’s not unreasonable..!

If it is competitive and the same as their 2021 offer then definitely will not be ticking the box for willing to accept Euroflyer...

Never meant it to come across as unreasonable, everyone's entitled to public holidays. I was simply giving a reason to why someone hadn't heard back from them yet.

Anyone know which sim being used,744 or 767?
