OB,
Sorry, didn't really provide enough information. My course graduated post sept 11th (actually, October). So the afore mentioned job offers were made to students who were recommended by OATS after this time. So, as far as I can see, there was some sort of recruitment being carried out by Ryanair, albeit non-direct
By the way, congrats to Lofty for the CDO position. Couldn't have thought of a better person for the position.
WWW. Spot on with the comments re. FI feedback, again.
