Ryanair training cost-differences in "approved"FTO's ?

[Galland]

Hello fellow Aviators,

A few questions, in order to satisfy my curiosity...

What's the cost of training if one wants to fly for Ryanair ?

I understand that you have to pay for your own type rating, but one can only obtain it through one of their partner FTO's.

However, why is there such a difference in cost...

At the TRTO where I did my MCC they charge you around 16.000 Euro for a 738 TR. The quotes I got from their FTO's are somewhat beyond 20.000 Euro.
How come ?

And what about line training ? I have heard through the grapewine that Ryan even charges you for that.
Can that be possible-I mean at that point one is already effectively working for them, being a crewmember and flying with SLF in the back.

Also are there any differences between the three FTO's in NL, Sweden and UK, regarding cost, application and screening procedures ?

Any info welcome.

Not too sure ive heard the type rating for RYAN will cost 25000 U.S

What I want to know is how realistic are your chances of landing the job once you have obtained a 737 type rating (25000 US later), obviously a huge financial commitment.

Basically are you really guaranteed a job?
