Ryanair waiting for line training
For all future Ryanair pilots or wannabes be advised that there is a very long waiting period between the end of the type rating course and commencement of line training.
The reasons given are a shortage of line training captains, conversion of all B737-200 crews onto B737-800, late arrival of new airplanes due to Boeing strike……etc
I believe that it’s just poor management, no one working in the training (rostering) department and the simple fact that Ryanair doesn’t seem to care about its pilots (or any other employee).
Some pilots who finished the type rating course at the end of July are still waiting to start line training….not paid. The only sim time during this period is circuit training approx once a month.
