I have just one question to make: is it true that Ryanair likes to recruit only pilots who went at OAA or other top school like OAA?
For example, I will undertake all flight training in USA, and conversion either in Spain or Greece. However, I may do MCC course and JOC course at OAA.
A good friend of mine did exactly what you wrote, except for the OAA thing (he got the MCC in the States), and is now on the type course.
