A few months ago I heard from a manager who'd participated in job seminars in the past that we have more than 100 pilots in the pool but that they're interviewing very rapidly in order to boost this number even more. Don't know how many of them are phantom numbers, or pilots who've already gone elsewhere, but they don't seem to be having any problems getting qualified applicants.
Boiler is absolutely correct - do not give your employer any deadlines because you just never know. My class had a person in it who interviewed less than a week and a half prior and also a person who'd been in the pool for 3+ years and who had to re-interview at some point. Both were fantastic individuals with tons of experience and very similar backgrounds. This is not a FIFO pool!
Hope you get the call very soon but look at other options in the meantime because you just never know.
Good luck to you!
