On the site, pilots are asked to provide detailed information about their flight career, including the type of aircraft flown and how many hours experience they have.
The low-cost airline Ryanair is asking pilots to send confidential details of their career as well as their credit card number over the internet without any protection against hackers.
Potential recruits are asked to fill in a form on Ryanair's website.
But when they submit the information, a message appears warning that the message is being sent via e-mail without encryption for privacy.
CV FEE
They are also asked to pay a fee of £50 to have their CVs considered.
Mr O'Leary defended his company's decision to charge a fee, saying the aim was to reduce spurious applications.
"We're one of the few people in the airline industry actually creating jobs and we're recruiting people to jobs that pay £100,000 a year.
"We have no difficulty in getting people to apply for them."
The security issue is not deterring many hundreds of people applying to us for these well-paid jobs
