I got a conditional offer in early April but still waiting for a base/start date. Anyone else had to wait this long?

I got an offer in early April but I still don’t have a base/start date yet. Anyone else been waiting this long?

From what I understand, people who were successful in April are still waiting calls - that's just from speaking to others on this forum. Those that were successful at assessments in Feb/March have been offered September starts and got calls within a couple of weeks. Assuming April people will be next - fingers crossed you get the news you're after soon!

BA did mention they’re looking at a roughly 6 month lead time for start dates. I was successful at the end of April so am assuming it’ll be October start at least.

any luck with a phone call yet?

Nearly two weeks into the hold pool, hopefully we all hear soon ish!

[Vfrp]

Nothing for me yet. Been in the pool for nearly 2 months now

Been in the hold pool for approx 2 months. We were told to expect end of year start dates, if not later!

When did you get put into the hold pool, was it April?

[kenziejw04]

Anyone recently heard from the hold pool or had an update?

[add10ktsandsendit]

Nothing here. Have you?

[kenziejw04]

Sadly still nothing. Been holding since May 16th.

[add10ktsandsendit]

My expectation is an early spring start now, judging by how many cadets have finished base training in the last couple of months. An update would be good though!

[kenziejw04]

Looks that way.

Will need to ask but my IR is invalid as of January 1st so will need to see if I need to revalidate it… hopefully not

[Vfrp]

I asked at my interview day about my IR and they said as long as you’ve had an IR then that’s okay, it doesn’t need to be valid.

Been in the hold pool now since early April!

[add10ktsandsendit]

We asked that at our assessment day - they told us it didn’t need to be in date as it’s renewed as part of the type rating. Otherwise more or less everyone would be in this position!

[kenziejw04]

Fantastic! In that case I’m not fussed about waiting🤣

Seems there are some delays due to training capacity at the moment. Some cadets are waiting a month or so between TR and base training. Won’t surprise me if we don’t hear anything by the end of the summer.
