Gonnabe,
With a 737 type rating you could be employed by Ryanair after completing their differences course which you may have to pay for. After that you will probably be employed as a second officer for around 12 months before progressing on to a first officer. Then my friend you will earn a great deal of money, fly brand spanking new 737-800s & have a stable roster pattern which can't be said for many other carriers, low cost schedule, charter or scheduled. Now, if you are prepared to work for it it doesn't sound too bad a deal does it?....
Unfortunately far too many people jump on the Ryanair bashing bandwagon who have absolutely no experience of the company whatsoever. You can probably see this from the above posts. As for bringing your own coffee to the interview then just check out BA's selection day. You are not even allowed to park your car in their staff car park right outside of Cranbank when you attend, nor are you allowed into their hollowed canteen!
Go for FRs selection day & you will find that it is practical & applies to your profession, with an interview & a sim check. Go for many others & you may find that unless you have studied Psychobable for 20 years & can't shoot down 'enemy aircraft' on a computer game your stuffed. You pay your money & you take your choice my friend.
