Ryanair Sim assess

Mac.2.02
You need to go to Interviews, jobs and sponsorship, 2 thirds of the way down there are 2 threads about Ryanair where all this has been covered very recently. However below is a post I made about a week ago:
I did the assessment at the end of Sept. The profile was the CLN 6B out of Luton (not STN) on RWY 26. Establish onto the VOR at 4,000ft. Some general handling nothing too complicated. I got smoke in the toilet my sim partner got pax with a heart attack. Don't get to hung up on the check lists, what they are looking for is good comms between the PF & PNF and with the crew. NITS brief etc.... Remember to squawk 7700 etc.... and radio calls. Back into land on an NDB RWY 26. I had no single engine stuff but did have to fly the hold and an entry. I know others who didn't. Just be prepared for doing it. If you're not familiar with the 737 get yourself in a sim. The sim at East Mids has an MCP like like you get on a 737-300, it will really help if you're familiar with this for the PNF role, as they look at your performance in both roles.
With regards to tech questions, these were based around aircraft flown: Seneca etc... for me. Some basic stuff on NDB's errors etc.. and a couple of Met questions, about thunderstorms.
The instructors were all really friendly and relaxed, and I can honestly say I actually quite enjoyed it, better than being sat at home anyway!!
Good luck
