The command course failure rate is low. Guys generally fail not because they can't handle the aeroplane, or because they don't know, or follow, the SOP's, but because they can't manage the flight.
The training department won't put you on a command course for a number of reasons. It's nothing to do with a conflict of personality between you and your Base Captain, or between you and the training department. It's more to do with if they think you have a chance of passing the course. If they don't, they will give you more time to work on your operation, or your attitude. A command course, even in Ryanair, is not an automatic right even for someone who's been in the RHS for 'two years'.
RYR's SOP's aren't difficult. You might argue that some are unnecessary, (I would..) and some are marginally stupid. They won't, however, kill you. If the company which pays you wants you to operate in a certain way, then why not just do it ?
You claim to know, and follow the SOP's. Half your battle is won then. You might want to address the other half and ask yourself if your attitude might be the problem? If so, consider doing something about it.
Good Luck.
My attitude is perfectly normal, thatīs not the problem. It is difficult to explain in a forum. Anyway guys thank you for your advices I will try to reach the "level" required for been at least in the command upgrade program. Not going to the command if the BC do not consider my skills enough for passing the CU course, but at least been in the program... I think it would be fair for a guy with my experience. I donīt going to upload my CV here of course but just to say I have a "little bit" more than 2 years on the RHS in the 73, just a few type ratings, command hours on jet and worldwide experience in zones that you will never fly in your life...
Anyway guys, I agree that SOPīs are for something and can save your life... and I repeat it is not the problem here...
