Flatbread,
Rating is an internal type rating at East Midlands. You will definitely get an engine fire followed by assymetric approach on the day - everyone got one, no matter what the experience. The sim is paused, however, when you do your briefings and when you set up for the approach. HR interview is on the same day (normally) as the sim check.
Good luck to all. It's such a pitty about the negativity that people have about Ryanair.
