mad_dog,
Your reply kinda backs up all that is wrong with the Astraeus style of type rating course- if they don't take you on, you're out on a limb, waiting hopefully, for that elusive job. Ryanair seem to only select candidates who will subscribe to their TR system. Have Easy shown any interest, now that you're type rated?
Sadly, it seems to be, only do the TR course with an airline if you're pretty certain of getting a job with them at the end of it, and they are far and few between.
