OK, since nobody seems to bee able or willling to provide detailed information Iīll tell you what I know and/or have heard! I do know there are some germans flying for Ryanair. I donīt know how many of them are now based At Hahn(Frankfurt), though. I do know of quite a few german 737 rated pilots who have applied but have not had an answer other than the automated email messages. All those pilots currently fly 737īs! I suppose that Ryanair might prefer pilots who are currently jobless because those might accept contracts that others wouldnīt. A fellow pilot (I believe he was a belgian national) posted parts of a contract here that they had offered him for employment as an F/O on the -800 series based in Hahn. It was far from anything I would sign as long as I have another job. Bad pay and conditions. The airplanes are registered in ireland so you need a JAA ATPL or a national licence acceptable to the irish CAA! I have personally not heard of anybody being invited for an interview after they started taking money for the application!
