I don't think the intake is on hold.
Many of my friends have been interviewed over the last couple of weeks and are continuing to be called.
At RYR, interviewing does not necessarily equate to intake. People will continue to be interviewed. However, there may be a delay in starting the type rating or line training.
Has there been anyone with some grey hairs that have been accepted this year??
I guess you all ignored what I just said. I am an FO at RYR, with grey hairs and was interviewed in 2009. Not that long ago. I passed. Many of the guys on my TR course in 2009 were over 30.
