As long as pilots are unemployed, people will keep going into Ryanair.
Although what I don't understand is Ryanair's thinking behind the lack of hours? With so many aircraft coming they will need a bucket load of captains, where are they going to come from if their FOs aren't doing much flying?

In a lot of the responses above, I see people failing to see the outset of the deliveries. There where 305 airframes at the end of last year.
now: 290 airframes (15 returned to lessor)
until somewhere half 2018: replacement of 105 airframes
from half 2018 until end 2019: addition of the rest of the orders bringing the total to 375 airframes.
The point: there is no actual expansion before 2018. Before this, starting from the beginning of 2014, extreme numbers of cadets are to be expected. Flying hours will go down extremely from now on, probably with more compulsory unpaid leave or more unpaid standbys. Cadets joining from now on should be happy to have a job, but will face the results of the employment model within the first year, by losing a lot of their income to taxes (up to 60% off gross income) which can be covered with expenses in the first year. After that it is salary-60%. Just keep this in mind

The portals closed, but there are thousands of people (probably) still registered on the portal. Tonnes of people are still being hired.

Hello everyone!
I am planning to begin 0 to ATPL frozen course this year. I am 23 years old. And I want to ask if it won`t be a problem to get my first pilot job in Ryanair after finishing the course?
I am currently working for Ryanair as a cabin crew and never had a time to speak, ask questions to first officers or captains.
What I have to do after finishing my ATPL course, do I have to find a school for B737-800 training or I can do it with Ryanair? How much it will cost? Do they have contracts for first officers like for cabin crew- crewlink, dalmac..? Or its Ryanair contract?
Thanks!!

Aalto, if you really wanted you'd have found time to ask the pilots. Come on, you work with them, you see them prior and after brief, you can get in the cockpit during long flights, you can even have access to their email and phone number in 10 secs of time. Anyway.
You have to apply thru CAE (by the way the portal is currently closed), if you get a chance to go to an interview and pass, you will complete a Type Rating at CAE for 28 500 EUR.
Then you will start flying as a junior First Officer, being employed by a subcontractor (Storm McGingley). No Ryanair contract.

Aalto, I've heard they do not hire people who previously worked for them. Could be a rumour, but then again it's Ryanair...
