Mister Geezer,
I applied to Ryan last summer. I have a type rating on the 737 NG with over 3000 hours on type. I paid £50 to the company. I am a UK citizen.
I am still awaiting a reply.
From the ryanair website today:
"How to apply if you are a B737-RATED pilot?
1. Apply Online
A Stg£50 fee is required, refundable to successful applicants
2. Interview / Assessment
The most suitable applicants will be interviewed by Ryanair. Following a successful interview, you will be required to undergo and pass a simulator assessment for which a non-refundable fee of Stg£200 will be charged.
3. Ryanair Pilot
Successful and suitable candidates will be offered a contract to fly for Ryanair"
Given their total lack of interest from my previous application, why should I show any interest in paying then £50 only to be ignored again? Also, if they really want to attract experienced pilots, is charging £200 for a sim assessment the right way to go about it? I do not know your position within the company, but perhaps you could take this post to Alan Sweeney and ask for his comments.
(edited for spelling)
