I don't fly for Ryanair so I couldn't give you a definitive answer. Having read what I read on PPJN, I had a look on the Ryanair cadets scheme through the Oxford TRTO. Within there it says:
Successful candidates are then offered an opportunity to fly for Ryanair on a full time basis following successful completion of the B737-800 type rating course.
Full time does not mean permanant though. So beware.
As I understand Brookfield contracts are the only contracts on offer to cadets starting right now. So again, beware. Correct me if I am wrong on that one though.
I'd be interested to hear how long a contract people are actually offered with the Brookfield contract? Is it a rolling 6 or 12 month contract? Or does it not need any renewal?
I don't suppose it really matters, if they want you to go, they'll just work you so little that you can't afford to stay. I am sure it hasn't happened yet but standby......
