Hello Again 738 Driver

You’re very welcome to the information, out of date as it is.

One snag that you might find with applying to RYR is that they seem to like employing direct entry captains with the rating and lots of command hours or 200hr cadets with no airline experience at all. As an experienced FO with a rating and over 1000hrs you fall in the gap between the extremes that RYR prefer.

Obviously it would be completely inappropriate for you to chuck in your current job to go chasing RYR as you might never receive an invite to the assessment day but if you are owed some leave and can squeeze an MCC into the leave period then go for it.

The worst they can do is not invite you and you continue in your current FO job until something else comes along, which compared to a lot of people (including myself) is a very privileged position.

All the best
