INTERVIEWS
Anyone had any feedback from their Ryanair interviews yet or know of anyone who has been accepted/ rejected? I've heard that people have been waiting for nearly a month now...

Rumors from management in RYR sais they will start to use the system type rating+500 hours and then out just to earn more money from cadets and to have a better cycle of type ratings. This is a reliable source but hopefully they won't start so early. Safe flights guys...

That would be a disgrace if they will do that 500 hours program. Another airline of the list to start your carreer. There are already almost no oppertunities. Another confirmation that the market is horrible. No respect for us pilots at all.

you are damn right, it's a shame....no way it will become better, the market is becoming good or at least acceptable only for people with a lot of money and no problems in paying type ratings and hour building.

I don't think RYR will do a TR+500 thing at all. Can't see it working. They have no need to do it either, they can fire nearly all FOs in a split second no questions asked. Or they could just roster the FOs for zero hours and they will all eventually leave.

I very much doubt it.
Nothing would surpise me though but I can't see this happening. Over all my years in Ryanair we've heard many rumours, some coming from reliable sources, most never come to fruition.
RYR are trying to increase their image, increase relations with their customers. They are trying to avoid bad press. The pilot group and management are at an all time low in their relationship with one wrong move, could be decisive for the pilot group in getting representation. Coming up with a stupid plan such as P2F would generate a PR and HR nightmare. Just to give you an idea how sensitive they are in terms of PR at the minute - they started of by saying they won't implement controlled rest inflight because the papers would get a hold of the procedures and tear them a new one. Now that we're doing even longer sectors this winter they are trying to implement controlled rest but the wording of the memo has been meticulously chosen. No doubt the idea of P2F scheme is coming from some idiot in the training department trying to climb that RYR ladder to get closer to his idol. Ultimately the decision will come from the very top and the shareholders now want a positive image.
If they do then all hope is lost with this management in control and the only way to protect your future is by joining www.ryanairpilotgroup.com / REPA and fix the mess through action.

So it's gone from "rumoured" to "confirmed" in less than 24h, with nobody other than migue hearing about it?
I tend to agree with McBruce.
Though anyone thinking any EASA authority would stop it need only look at Vueling, who do just this.

If even Major Airlines like Alitalia is going to do that, then I don't know how it would ever get better.
And then after the program of 500 hours. Then you are basically still worth nothing. Because airlines want to suck out pilots, so they will not hire you because you have done already TR. But airlines where you should have 1000+ hours TT will not take you either, because you lack experience.
I even cannot get any loan for such programs anyway, but I would NEVER pay for my Line training. That ain't a job. Just an expensive hobby.
You should get PAID to work. NOT PAY to work.
