Flying Farmer - I wasn't being nasty with my comments: Ryanair's policy on type rating and availibility of positions changes on a regular basis, and on the day you did your assesment you may have been compared to guys with a shed load more experience and / or ability, hence the offer. Also you will, in the current market, be offered the least expensive position; if you don't take it someone else will.
