I thought every single pilot-wannabe reads this thread..
BSc (hons) degree, integrated big 3 grad, first time everything....been waiting 6 months to date and to top it off I'm below 30 and not Irish
Anyone know the staff turnover rate at RYR? Surely a fair number must be off to the ME carriers? I know their expansion is complete so no more bumper recruitment years like last year when they took 312 guys.
Funny to think that 3 years ago RYR looked like a last resort and now its not only the best resort, it's the only! It's crazy to say but RYR is now my 'dream job' ha how ironic.

With regards to second interviews, yes it is possible as a friend of mine had two interviews within the space of one year. Unfortunately the second one was offered at just 24 hours notice hence very little time for preparation, sadly it was a no go for him.
City or Jet, yeah there are guys heading off to the desert all the time, also read on REPA that some guys now are simply resigning. I think there will be openings for new cadets for a bit yet, despite expansion stopping this year.
Best of luck everyone.

Hello B737Dude. Yes, I updated my profile, buy only little changes.
Today I received an email telling than CAE will send my CV to Ryanair. The next step is suposed to be a call or an email if I am out of the program?
How many days in advance they use to call you for the interview? Do they care if I have only 150 flight hours?

hey guys!!!
reading some information about the assesment I read that sometimes is asked by the examiner 'a passanger heart attack'. What do they expect of us¿ Should we ask for a doctor inside the airplane to determine it? should we call for emergency and divert to de nearest and available airport?
Good luck everyone!!

Heart attack
I would call for cabin crew to see if there is a doctor on board and then advise atc and thereafter divert to the most appropriate Airport. Also SPN PILOT read your message, thank you

Had my assessment yesterday. 'thought I'd write a quick briefing of it, if anyone's interested.
CAE guys, captains, everybody really kind, friendly and easy. They really encourage you not to stress, big /respect to them.
HR/Tech interview. Very, very, very easy on the technical side. You won't believe it, but seriously, the only question was on that is "what is a critical engine" and "why is a cessna's wing good for training". end of story. All the others were the HR questions, what did you like about your training, why should we hire you, etc. nothing tricky, just an easy, good chat overall. I've studied my ass off, the whole ATPL, the ACE the tech, my last planes, the Boeing 737, etc. basically for nothing. Dont learn too much really, just vagualy go through Ace.
The others I was with would agree on this.
Sim was also pretty basic stuff. Dublin, rwy 28. Here, I dont use the term "easy" because even a take-off, VOR, go-around and ILS are really hard to do at a decent level if you're not an active B737 pilot imo. It was hard for me anyway, to do them nicely. I could do it, but maintaining good altitude, speeds, bank rates etc. not easy stuff.
They told us we can expect an answer in 7 days.
I hope this helps someone. Good luck, take care.

thanks Plikee, i hope so too 
I applied to them in the beginning of Dec '11, and got the email from CAE in the end of April, so thats like 4.5 months later.
Not too fast if you ask me, but we were told that currently there's 7000 applications, so guess I'm really lucky to get even invited.
