Ok, can I get an honest totally transparent answer to one question? I have a friend who is just finishing off his CPL/IR, he wanted to join the turbo prop operator I am going to be working for but they aren't recruiting and my future boss isn't really a big fan of the various training schools that my friend has trained at, particulary because it's all a bit of a mish-mash of conversions and different FTOs.
Anyway, my old buddy has for some reason set his heart on flying for FR. Now, how is he going to get an interview? He's talking of doing his MCC in Sweden on this Ryanair approved course. If he does that is he guaranteed an interview?? In reality how hard is it to get into the airline?
Personal I'm keeping my job that I signed the contract for prior to training, but he isn't as fortunate.
Is it really a case of if you have to money you can get the job with FR?
