With all due respect dick, its because selection comes down to whether or not they can pay for the type rating. Not so long ago it came down to showing suitable skill levels in the sim. Now all the risk is with the candidate, if they can't cut it on the course then they take the hit financially. Its them funding the rating. Even the selection process is a revenue source. I believe ryr charge almost £1000 to be interviewed and sim checked.
Ryanair must have one of the only profitable training departments in the industry!
PS I fail to see how its negative spool. Most of what he says is factual correct.
