I signed up at CAE early feb'12.
About 3 months later I got the email where they ask to see your cv. Send cv, and they will reply with "thank you, it has been forwarded to ryanair."
A week after sending the cv, I recieved an email where they ask you to be availiable for a phone call in about a week.
The phone call was to go through some details about the application. The exp dates for medical and certificate, first time passes, date of last flight and such. My detalis were fine, and they booked me in for an assessment that was 10 days from then.
