It all makes you smile.

A friend of mine has just applied through Brookfield. Apparently the recruitment 'consultant' confirmed Ryanair were taking on experienced first officers with a B737NG type rating. The 'consultant' promised an assessment day and confirmed an e-mail would be sent setting out the timescale together with attachments with FAQ and the like - my friend just had to wait 30 minutes whilst it was all set up.

E-mail arrived with possible dates for assessment, but with the proviso it would all be subject to Brookfield reviewing his CV - and no attachments.

CV sent off and a confirmatory e-mail to say it had been received and that Brookfield would be in touch.

Since then nothing.

The only aspect of the CV which might have been an issue is his age - over 50 - the fact that he hasn't flown a B737 for over a year was mentioned in the original telephone call, so that can't be it.

Seems Ryanair have an unwritten ageism policy.

Anyone else come across this 'fact'?!
