SIM :

- WAL2T DEP out of Liverpool (EGGP) runway 27
- General handling : climb/descent at 1000ft/min, turns, climbing/descending turns, no steep turns.
- ATC asked us on what QDM we were and then to intercept QDM 300° to the LPL NDB.
- Sim frozen, the assessor asked us on where we were and to point it on the chart (use the DME from the ILS and the QDR from the NDB)
- We entered the hold as instructed (parallel entry) then immediately after : galley fire.
- ILS rwy 27 full procedure

I had exactly the same scenario both as PM and PF.

INTERVIEW :

- What do you want to talk about ?
- Why do you want to join Ryanair ?
- Why do you want to be a captain ?
- Why not easyJet ? (I am living close to Geneva airport)
- What was the most difficult time in your training ?
- Pick 3 bases.

Then I talked to the same guy with whom I did the sim for the technical questions :

PERF :
- Are you very good at performances ? (This one was tricky)
- Why do we have take off segments ?
- Does a single engine aircraft have take off segments ?

AERO :
- What is Mach tuck ?

MTO :
- What is the cause of jetstreams ?
- At what height do we find jetstreams ?
- Where do you find lenticular clouds ?
- Are they a good sign or a bad sign ? Why ?

Then I had questions about Ryanair :
- What aircraft do we have ?
- How many ?
- Why did we ordered 737 MAX ?
- What are the differences between the B738 and the B737 MAX ?
- How many seats in our B738 ?
- How many cabin crews ?
- How many seats in the MAX ? (I answered 200)
- Exactly 200 ? (I said no, around 197)
- Do you know why ? (I answered : due to an emergency exit or a toilet and it seemed to be correct)
- When do we receive the 737 MAX ? (2019)

At the end of the interview, both of them were friendly and we cracked some jokes but they played the good cop / bad cop during the interview. Just relax, there's nothing horrible !

Starting the type rating in August.

Good luck guys !

Cheers
