Ryanair Interview and Sim Assessment (merged)

[sky85]

Have you finally received an answer.?
I had my assessment on September 27 th and I'm still waiting an answer: positive or negative, No mail , no phone call.

[jimmyjetplane]

Hi Guys,

Could someone please clarify the application process if hey know it please.I applied to CAE.What I should like to know is who decides who is called to the assessment?Is it CAE or are the applications sent to Ryanair for approval first and then do CAE contact suitable candidates that fit the profile to tell them they've been selected?

Thanks and good luck to anyone waiting on applications.

[tompilot]

Has anyone had any news on the 11th Oct Assessment? Thanks

[CirrusCZ]

sky85 no answer

--
Hi, I know about 4 people assessing on 25th and 26th September and they've been phone called with success more than week ago... so...:oh:

[CirrusCZ]

Is there any planned RYR expansion for upcomming year 2013? Because with this cadet hire rate there must be salary lower than living and loan costs...

[flying apple]

from the end of october everyone will fly more :}
we have to fly slower and they will adjust the block times

[flying apple]

no,
just a cost index change so we fly slower

[skyblue737]

Is it possible to have a second chance with Ryanair's interview?

I have asked to some people related with the company, and they said that yes, it is. However, no one knows anyone who has been called to a second interview.

Thanks!

[Eirjet]

Anyone doing the induction on the 17th of December in EMA and the Type Rating in Amsterdam on Jan 7th?

[PIOSEE]

I presume you are!!

[luc753]

Hello,

I know that the question have been asked a lot of time..
I'm waiting since 1,5 month...
I know to be contacted fastly, you have to have a lot of chance.
I would like to know what is the average time of waiting period?
What is the standard technical question (POF and Perfo).
I have too the ace technical book (and print the history from FR). Is it enough to prepare the interview..
I have made my mcc on a 737 cl with efis..
Is the sim difficult ? what type of problems (engine fire,..) did you have ?
Thanks in advance

[Achill]

Hy,

I have a question about the first call before the assessment. What they expect ? (It's only a check about Theoretical ATPL, CPL AND IR failure, and available dates) or there are other questions ?

We have to prepare it, or it's just a call to obtain some information about us ?

Thanks in advance

[Achill]

Practice all in first time pass, but 2 uv's passed at the third time :rolleyes: it's call over i suppose , (2 fails by UV)

[plikee]

What's uv?

Maybe ultra-Violet :p would like to know as well!

[Achill]

Sorry, I wanted to say Subject.

[CirrusCZ]

ATPL passes are also a subject of FTO confirmative reference and final training report.

[Dressah]

Hey Guys. I've just gotten the email to send in my CV, and i have done so. I have first passes in all of my ATPL's. I have one partial pass on my CPL, but the rest was first pass. So is that just what they are going to ask for when they call you?

[BANOL]

Don't worry, only personal questions. No technical. cheers!

[CirrusCZ]

During the call they asked me also for passes during IR and CPL exams... and you will have to prove it during the assesment. In your logbook there must be an examiner note with a result (excellent, average, failed) so they will check it.

[aozc]

I was asked by CAE to hand in my CV after 14 months of waiting. Does that mean that they are going to call if all papers were OK? or is it something everyone else got as well?

[Dressah]

Hey Guys, anyone else going to the assessment on the 15th?

[ufon]

I am going one day earlier... 14 Nov.

[plikee]

In your logbook there must be an examiner note with a result (excellent, average, failed) so they will check it.

I don't have none of that, just the signature of my examiner and his licence number :uhoh:

[172_driver]

I call that balderdash .. never heard or seen, and certainly wasn't checked during my interview.

[Enzo_flt]

Hey guys,

I've sent my application through CAE's website on mid-September and still no call from them.
How long time does it take to get called for an interview witht RYR ?

[aozc]

took me 14 months, 10 months too late

[migue]

Hi guys,
Is it possible that the HR office forgets to send you the e-mail or the phone call after two weeks from the interview? Thank you !

[Watchagonnado]

Guys Guys Guys,

Don't forget your cheque book and a jar of Vaseline.

No aircraft orders
No "expansion"
Over 1000 low time Second Officers "itching" to move left
That silly look on the new guys faces when the penny drops on the "employment" scam and basing "policy" - priceless!

You've heard it here over and over again but some guys only want to learn the hard way...

Best of luck, guys. You're certainly going to need it! :ok:

[plikee]

Enzo_flt, don't worry, I'm waiting since May! :{

[jeehaa]

@ migue : definately not

[migue]

I thought the two weeks waiting period was the maximum but seems not to be like that. :confused:

[jhall_45]

Does Anyone know if there's a time limit where by you have to send your cv by once its been requested? or is it on-going.

[Dressah]

When did you guys receive your briefingpack? - i'm going on the 15th, and kinda getting a bit nervous, since i havent recieved it yet!
- In the mail i got, it just says they expect me to recieve it before the weekend!

[ufon]

Hi Dressah, I will go on Wednesday and I am also waiting for the email.

[pawarman]

I am going the 15 and have nothing either....

[JumbolinoBAe]

So there are both 14th and 15th the assessments??

[Dressah]

Are you sure your going on the 14th? i was chatting with another guy who thought he was going on the 14th, but had read the mail wrong and it was the 15th!

[JumbolinoBAe]

Where is your assessment?

[ufon]

I can confirm 14 November 09:30.
it is even written in the title of the email.

[Dressah]

Mine is at Standsted on the 15th 9:30 :)

[Hueymeister]

What are they paying these days? Is it still as dire as before (paying for almost everything, no food, contracted rather than employed?)

[aozc]

On top of that the pay has fallen alot

[dannyalliga]

You guys will be forced to become limited company directors in Ireland, will be based where they need you and will find yourselves liable to pay social security in the country where they put you, you will receive no guidelines at all about tax and social security laws in the various countries where you will be based.
You will be personally liable for any tax/SI scam since you will also be the directors of your own company.

The risk if finding yourselves with a big training loan to re-pay and the tax men chasing you.
In many EU countries tax and SI fraud is a criminal offence punishable with jail time.....be careful.

[jhall_45]

Hi camaesso , i'm in the same situation.I emailed and let them know and they replied saying please contact us again with your cv and information when your licenses have arrived.There is no time limit for the submission of your cv.

[fresdo]

Hello guys,
I will have the interview in Stanstead the next 29th november?
Anybody else???

[Wetstart]

Due to a massive overcrew (it's not a cost for Ryanair but just an income from the t.r. ) especially in the winter, be prepared that first officers are currently flying few hours. That means you will not receive enough money to self sustain your life were Ryanair will base you, especially for the first 500 hrs . (at the moment can takes till 14 months )
Be careful; the condition are very bad . No sickness , no pension, no rights, no taxes,no food, and now .... no money.
At the moment it doesn't work .

[El_Pilota]

Hi all,

I have my assessment with Ryanair on the 21st Nov (this Wednesday) and haven't received my briefing pack yet...is this normal??


Thanks!

[Haribo105]

Hi,

I have my assessment with Ryanair on the 20th Nov. I still haven't received my briefing pack yet, has anyone else?

Cheers

[MATT83]

Hi,

Has anyone else got an assessment on the 11th December 2012 at Stansted?

[jimmyjetplane]

To MATT 83.....

Hi,

Would you mind telling how long did you wait from applying to hearing from Ryanair?

Also did they call you with the date or just email you?

Anyone else had the same experience and would like to comment please?

Thanks.

Jimmy.

[aozc]

took me 14 months to get the mail

[eimin]

and after the email...how long it took them to get to you by phone?

I'm right now in the second email...:ugh:

[dullairport]

Time from Application to Interview to help you all out.

Applied Through CAE: Feb (Updated my profile everyday)
Mail from CAE asking for my CV: 7 months
Sent back my CV 1 day after the first mail.
Mail from CAE that they sent my CV to Ryanair after 5 days.
Mail from CAE that They would like to call me after 3 days.
I got the mail from CAE about the time they would like to call me, got the call same day. Simple straight forward questions, First passes CPL ME IR etc.
They invite you, time between call and assessment. 10 days.

All in all, it went kinda fast!

[Andy_20]

Eimin, Did you get the second email on Friday?

I too would also like to know how long it took from second email to getting the phone interview.

Cheers

[jimmyjetplane]

To EIMEN.....

Hi so what's the second email? I thought they just call you from Ryanair asking you to attend on a certain date,then they email you with the briefing pack and confirmation date etc?

Thanks.

Jimmy.

[Andy_20]

The second email I received thanked me for re-submiting my cv and that they had sent it to FR for approval. It then stated that if successful there, you would receive a phone interview in the coming weeks.

Thats all i know.

[eimin]

Correct.

I received the email on friday as well.

[Enzo_flt]

Hey fellows,

As I see, many of you have been called by CAE for RYR.

Just a question: When did you applied on the CAE's website ?

I did it two months ago and still no news.

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it.

[MATT83]

Hi jimmyjetplane

I waited about 5- 6 months.. i think thats about the average time to wait.

[dullairport]

Anyone who recently been called or mailed about how their assessment went?

[Papa_Golf]

Hello everybody, I've also received a couple emails from CAE asking for my CV and thanks for sending it. I applied for the program on October 5th and now I'm constantly wait for the phone to ring.

Best luck to the guys doing their assessment these days.

[Enzo_flt]

Really you applied to the program on 5th October ? I haven’t get any answer or e-mail from my application that I have done mid-September… strange or not ? Hope they will call me…

[aozc]

I waited 14 months but had gotten another job meanwhile. Remember that there are thousands of application in the database. I have heard a number of 4000. I don't know how true it is but I would not be surprised if it's true. On top of that they take in a couple of hundred cadets each year. That makes the risk of not being called at all pretty high.

[Enzo_flt]

Oh ok… but according to what CAE calls (or not) people ?
Because I think that I have all the requirements needed… (English, first time pass IR/CPL & ATPL, less than 30 years old and so on…)

[Enzo_flt]

@aozc:

If you cancel your application and apply again, maybe it appears to them like a new « application » ?
I was thinking about it but not sure that will work…

[Swabber]

@cowhorse

Do you think that age is a big importance for Ryanair?
Cause I am finished at the end of December with my MCC and will apply when I recieve my license (around the end of February).
I passed all my ATPL and Flight exams in the first attempt and I am 20 years old.
Big chance?

[Papa_Golf]

@Enzo

I was quite surprised that they got in touch with me after only a few week since I was prepared to wait months before getting called. Another guy that applied on the same day got the email as well.

[SB172]

Hey, has anybody else got their induction at East Midlands on the 4th of February and type rating starting on the 18th of February also at East Midlands?

Would be good if anyone starting on these dates could get in touch so we can try and arrange accommodation with some of the other guys on the course.

If you do send me a private message, thanks!

[Andy_20]

@Cowhorse

This first time pass claim, are you saying they won't accept you with a partial?

[migue]

Hi guys! does anyone of you have the introduction on January 21th and the TR on February the 4th in AMS?

[ufon]

Hi, when did you go for assessment?

[dullairport]

Anybody who got any mail or call from the assessment results last week? Any help welcome!

[artlite]

is it 27,5k after or before tax? what's the total?

[artlite]

and what's the average FO salary now? I don't even know if I want to go to assessment.

[artlite]

I pay for the uniform? Good joke, I'll pass on this "wonderful" career opportunity.

[fresdo]

I will have the interview the next week , on 29th november, anyone else?
Let's see the Cae web site because now the type rating for the next year is going to change, 1000€ more so 28500.

[Andy_20]

Anyone going on the assessment on the 12th Dec?

[cefey]

They do get uniform at McDonalds!

[OutsideCAS]

Lot of employers give their employees uniforms - Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut, Boots Chemist. There are lots. To be fair they are considerably more
prestigious employers though, so it is to be expected of RYR as they are a
little on the cheap side.

[Dressah]

I did the assessment last week on the 15th. I haven't heard anything yet. How long does it usally take for them to get back to you? iknow they said max two weeks, but thats a long time waiting for a yes/no :>

[rally]

any irish getting called lately?

[blueskies86]

Anybody booked for the Intro. 15 Feb and Rating 11 March?

[Mr Boombastick]

Hi....

Anyone care to share details of recent assessments please....

Particulary interested to hear about recent sim profiles.... Did you do much asymetric work? Sids, Stars? Steep Turns etc etc.

Many thanks

[Swabber]

Are there any dutch pilots who got called recently for a interview?

[ufon]

Hi MR Boombastick, I had the sim as follows:
Airport Liverpool
SID, changing of speed, heading and altitude. Steep turns.
After the examiner asked me to show where I was on the map.
ILS approach.
No failures at all.
Another guy had smoke in the toilette, holding over Liverpool and NDB approach.
Wish you good luck.

[fresdo]

Vai tranquillo che la registrazione non l'hai fatta!!!!
Prima ti registri completamente poi quando vai sul link della Ryan, metti che sei interessato.
Tanto hai tempo x la registrazione visto che i tempi di attesa variano da 1mese a molto di più, anche 5/6... devi essere fortunato.
Io ho l'interview proprio dopodomani...

[fresdo]

Anyone else for the Ryan interview this 29th????

[provinho]

Hi to everyone!

I attended the RYR Assessment at STN 3 weeks ago. Me and my Sim partner went into the Simulator first. I'm very happy with this decision, cause at the beginning of the day your mind is much fresher than later on... The Sim went fine: Out of Kerry we did a normal SID with Flight Director ON, then the FD will be turned off, some turns, climbs and changes of speed. After the airwork the check pilot said, that there would be a fire in the cabin --> discussed the situation with my partner and decided to request a radar vectored ILS. That was it!

Interview is very relaxed. Starts with HR questions and slowly comes over to ATPL stuff such as jet streams, VMCA/G, TORA/R etc. Of course also the usual questions such as: how many seats in the 737? how many FA and why?

After 3 weeks of patient waiting I got the call yesterday, I start the 28th of January :)

Prepare yourself well for the assessment so that no surprise will show up and you get the job. That's it :ok:

[Marco2503]

I've been contacted for Ryanair assessment on the 19 of December.
Is there anyone else who is going on that day?

[snak]

Guys be careful, I heard FOs are flying 30 hrs/month in this period!

[SB172]

Hey, has anybody else got their induction at East Midlands on the 4th of February and type rating starting on the 18th of February also at East Midlands?

Would be good if anyone starting on these dates could get in touch so we can try and arrange accommodation with some of the other guys on the course.

If you do send me a private message, thanks!

[serenimattia]

i'm sorry i'm new on this forum (i've never been on a forum before in my life)

i have a question:

the 13 of nov i received an e-mail that says to send my cv, done it!
after 2 days i received another mail where it was written to keep myself ready for a call (you know everything i don't wanna bore you) ok, until now the call has not arrived, have passad away exactly 2 weeks.

can you help me to understand?

what is the waiting time?

please


thanks a lot for your precious time

[Flying_Claire]

@ serenimattia: for me it took 4 days between the e-mail and the call (8 days later the assessment). I guess it differs a bit.

I start with the introduction the 28th of january in EMA :)

[Papa_Golf]

I've been called a couple of days ago, exactly two week after CAE informed me that they were going to send my CV to RYR for approval. My assessment is booked for January 8th. My brother received the call and was invited in Stansted too. Finger crossed.

Does anybody know if that telephone interview is a formality or not?

[pawarman]

Anybody for the introduction the 25th Feb and the Type rating the 11 March?

Please send me an email or private, so we can organice something!

[MartinJ]

I got a call two days ago, where i was invited to the assessment day on the 16th oh January. They told me they would send me an email the day after (yesterday) with more information regarding the assessment, but i havent recived it yet, how long did you have to wait to recive your email?

[DontThink]

Guys, from a current contractor FO based in one of the biggest continental base and flying 60 hours in the summer and 30 in the winter....please think again about what you're getting yourselves into.
All of the bases are over crewed of FO in a desperate effort to lower TC's for everyone.
My 2p

[jhall_45]

Anyone with EASA license been invited to assessments yet?

[fresdo]

Today I received a call from Ryanair to attend the Ryanair Cadet Course scheduled to begin on 25th March 2013.
Anyone else?
:D

[schweizer2]

EASA here.. no contact yet :(

[smith]

Do people still actually sign up for this FR SSTR? They've certainly ripped the arse out of this scheme over the years. And scheme it most certainly is.

[fulminn]

hey guys!! i'm new on this forum!!! i'm from italy, aged 22! I have the assessment day on january 9!!!! anybody on this day????

[lucapilot]

Claire i have my assessment in a Few days could you please tell me how was your assessment
Million thanks

[Gpro]

Does anyone know how long it take after assessment to get the good/bad news?

[Gpro]

Can anyone who attended the assessment on the 13th Dec Pm me. cheers.

[MATT83]

Hi, Has anybody heard back from their assessment on the week from the week of the 10th December?

Do you know if they email everyone or telephone everyone at around the same time?

Thanks

[Number4]

Hi guys,
Have you any news about the 12th Dec assessment?

I didn't receive any email yet

[FlyingDutchy]

all you guys who got contacted... did you do your flying course with CAE or Oxford?

I have applied via CAE like 1,5 year ago and updated my profile several times.. never got a reply...

i'm not a ex CAE or Oxford student..

[fulminn]

no, i did mine in italy(urbe aero fto)

[hmwicks]

Did you get the interview on the 16th?

[unflownsky]

I've always wondered how the screening process of all CV works. Have sent mine 2 years ago an never received any reply. Some friends have been called after 3 months, some others after 1 year, some, again, after just 1 week. All with the exact same level of experience. Does anyone involved knows exactly the mind behind the desk ?? :rolleyes:

[Mr Boombastick]

Any EASA guys called up yet?

[Skyhigh86]

Things are not what they were 2 or 3 years ago chaps. We are getting no more aircraft now.

You really think you will be getting enough hours to pay bills if you join now?

Things change by the day in FR. Its currently kicking off in Italy with the taxman. Whats the plan when FR send you to Bergamo because all the other FO's fled?

You think Brookfield wont start dumping Fo's at the drop of a hat? its already started with regards to peoples contracts expiring.

Nearly 4 years in the company now and ive never seen morale so low. Please ask yourselves why this might be?

[Youngaviator254]

Yeh i'm EASA and recieved the email.Does anyone know how long it takes to get the next email after CAE have sent your CV to RYR for approval?:8

[OutsideCAS]

Interesting cowhorse - any cadets willing to sell me one of their kidneys? after a brief interview and medical tests, i am offering a chance to sell one of your kidneys to me (you will need to pay for hospitilisation and costs for operation), you will need to pay for drugs and anesthetics etc. and operation gowns, and travel expenses are to be paid for by suitably qualified cadets. I can offer a very good return on your kidney, approx 1500 Euros. We would consider your brain also, but at this time we consider that most cadets have already had these removed fully or partially prior to operation.

[Papa_Golf]

@Youngaviatior254

It takes about a week to get a further response from CAE after they send your CV to RYR. If successful you will get an email in which they tell you to stay nearby your mobile phone and wait for the call the same day.

That's what happened to me.

[jimmyjetplane]

Anyone who actually works for Ryanair prepared to state the truth of the current situaion for a new Cadet joining?

EG : Brookfield contract length and the likelyhood of that contract expiring/being terminated?

First base choice likelyhood? If not, where most likely?

Hours flown in first Year (new Cadet)

Take Home pay first Year?

[fresdo]

Introduction on 25th march 2013 and start type rating on 08th april 2013.
Anyone else?????

[Skyhigh86]

Here's the truth from a current FO;

Brookfield contract length is 5 years. Although that effectively means bugger all as they could just half my pay next week and tell me to sign a new contract or leave.

Recently a group of FOs didn't get their contracts renewed. Although I understand some maybe all finally got a renewal albeit on a far far worse contract and signed up to the abhorrent Irish accountant scheme.

First base likelihood? Having a laugh arnt ya?
They will put you wherever it suits them and completely on their terms. New bases possibly in Croatia. Lots of talk of morocco bases as well, it would seem that the recent timetable changes indicate this as well. Of course these will be 5/3 bases so don't expect to be getting more than one day at home if you choose to commute from April till November.

Hours on the first year, I would budget on 600 max! Just as I stated earlier guys theres no more aircraft arriving. For ever new person that arrives they are diluting everyone else's hours, of course there's quite a few leaving but nothing on the scale of people arriving; hence the dilution.
Remember that you cost the company nothing to be sat on your arse in the middle of Europe. It's in their operational interest to be overcrewed.

Please don't expect to receive much sympathy from your colleagues when you arrive.

[jimmyjetplane]

Skyhigh 86,

Thanks for the information, its appreciated.

The bit I don't like one bit is this....
New bases possibly in Croatia. Lots of talk of morocco bases as well, it would seem that the recent timetable changes indicate this as well. Of course these will be 5/3 bases so don't expect to be getting more than one day at home if you choose to commute from April till November.

So with the 5/3 you mean that Day 6 is travelling Home and Day 8 is travelling back to the Base right?

[Skyhigh86]

Yep

Typically if you are on Earlies and in a base with ok connections a lot of people do their day 5 early shift and then jumpseat home that day. Tiring to say the least! That way you might get two days at home(1 and 2 off), your last day off being spent travelling back to base.

if you are finishing Lates, you have very little choice but to jumpseat back on day 1 off and then back again on day 3 off.

It can take more than one day to jumpseat home for some people, hence making it practically impossible for people to get home. Don't kid yourself for a minute that you will be getting back to the uk anytime soon. I know guys with over 3 years in the company and still no sniff of getting back home.

[josemarb]

Is there any assessment at the end of this month?

[Wetstart]

Ryanair reality?
Anyone who actually works for Ryanair prepared to state the truth of the current situaion for a new Cadet joining?

EG : Brookfield contract length and the likelyhood of that contract expiring/being terminated?

First base choice likelyhood? If not, where most likely?

Hours flown in first Year (new Cadet)

Take Home pay first Year? the situation is very bad
at the moment a cadet can expect to fly 20 - 40 hours per month in the winter and 50 - 60 in the summer that makes under 24.000 € gross the first year . (50 € for 1 hour block) 17.000€ (1.416 € per month) net with no pension no holyday pay no sick pay. Since you will be probably be away from home you will have to pay the accomodation to stay there for standby duties.
At the moment some accountants let you deduct from the taxes the type rating so you can take the gross income as net for the first year .

Don't consider Ryanair as a work but just an hobby were you will spend money

the base is their choice but you can ask for one .
Brookfield doesn't give you a contract , it's more like a one-way guideline

on top of that ryanair crews are now pursue personally by tax men

[Ferihegy]

Hi guys, sorry, anybody going on january the 25th?

[Skyhigh86]

So two current FR pilots giving their honest appraisal of what's happening in the company .

The silence is deafening.....

[ford cortina]

Could not agree more Skyhigh, looks like there's a lot of head in sand here.
Speaking of sand, I worked in Morocco for a few years, if you get a base there.....good luck, you will need it

[PURPLE PITOT]

Head in sand is just how MOL likes it. Leaves them ripe for whats about to happen!

[Skyhigh86]

Make that 3 current pilots.


Would be interesting for you guys starting type ratings how you are justifying joining? No more a/c's and we are overstaffed as it is for FO's?

Seems like madness to me. As well as the prospect of paying double taxes now as well.

[Youngaviator254]

Hello, can anyone shed the light on there recent tech q's at the RYR assessment?

[Dipilot]

Hello!

I have a question:

If you pass all ATPL subjects at first time except one, which you passed at second time, with an average of 90%.

What are the effects of passing one subject at the second time? Is it a eliminatory criteria for ryanair?

I appreciate your help!

Thanks a lot

[appfo09]

go and waste your money with ryanair....
this system is absolutely corrupt !

[chr15ru55e11]

Ive just been reading this thread but not commenting. I recently was just told that I have an interview on the 29th of January. Anyone else on the same date?

[jkd_01]

I agree with the other FO's it's literally gone to ****. I joined about 2.5 years ago and i notice a big difference already.this year I have flown 200 hours less than last year which equates to €16k. at the minute it's a case of survival every month until I can move elsewhere :}.

It was ok at the start when you could offset your type rating as an expense you could keep a decent retention on your salary and even save money at the end of month, but those days are long gone

Did anybody who attended the assessment on 8/9 Jan got a reply from RYR?

[snak]

I heard FO's are flying an average of 30 hours/month, with 24 cadets joining every week and zero new aircraft coming....

[snak]

Unfortunately I've seen their rosters...

Anyone know what to expect on the call from cae? got it this week, cheers.

[Libertine Winno]

From reading this thread, it seems that those low hours guys being offered contracts from Brookfield/Storm are working to around 50 Euro/hour (up to 1,500 hours and unfreezing ATPL), is that correct?

If so, at an estimate of 600 hours a year (which people seem to suggest is about the max at the moment) that only equates to 30,000 Euro p.a. before taxes.

My question is, with loan repayments £1,000+ per month for guys coming from an integrated course, how do people actually afford to live?! I know there are certain ways of offsetting training costs for tax purposes, but E30k p.a. seems incredibly meagre!

[andy lusk]

Hi who did you do your training with and do you think 38 is to old ppl holder just now but fancy a change of career

[Libertine Winno]

@ Finger Flyer

Thanks for the info.

Finding the details is not hard, however, separating the tripe from the actual reality out there certainly is!

For every person that says there are too many F/O's, hours are as low as 500 a year and if you're over 30 then forget it, there is another that says 650+ hours is the norm, pay is OK taking into account tax breaks for training costs and they know plenty of people getting opportunities regardless of age or integrated/modular training!

T'was ever thus I suppose!

[jeehaa]

CAE training only 5 courses this year, max 12 cadets each
EMT training only 12 courses this year, max 12 cadets each

[Boeing 77W]

FingerFlyerAlso I've never done less than 40 hours in a month and can think of no one who does.

Which country are you based in?

I'm in the UK. I flew 30hrs in September and 22hrs in November. A colleague in the same base flew 20hrs in November. January is currently 40hrs and Feb is looking to be about 35hrs.

My roster from the end of October has pretty much been two sectors on my first day, then three standbys, then two sectors on my last day.

I recently met an FO who started his line training in November and didn't fly again until January due to training capacity...

[snak]

I heard people flying 15 hrs in small bases, but apparently it depends base by base...yes of course 24 cadets/week it's too much but this was the rumor. I'm just reporting it.

Latest news: seems they will freeze recruitments very soon.

[worldoffe]

Is there anybody that did not pass all ATPL subjects at the first time and still got invited by Ryanair?

Thank you :)

[aloa326]

It is not true about first pass in all ATPL exams, 1 retake is allowed.

About the recruitment process , is not only related to the new aircrafts incoming but also related to the outflow of pilots getting a better job with a lot of hours experience on a jet. the recruitment will slow down a little bit but not freeze as Snak said.

Cheers

[aloa326]

.....i am not surprised.......none will never understand the recruitment process of this company!!!

Example: When the assestment was done by CAE and OAA a huge amount of pilots discherged by one of them and got a job with the other one!!!!!!!
This happens only in Ryanair!!!!

[Youngaviator254]

Just had the call and got an assessment at Stansted on 6th feb, anyone else on this date?:)

[Youngaviator254]

Had the call today got an assessment on the 6th of February, anyone else on that that date?:O

[chr15ru55e11]

Ive read through most of the post and got a rough idea. Ive got an interview on the 29th and was seeing if anyone had been recently, or recently started the type rating just to get up to date questions etc. Im sure the questions dont change too much, but its just to get a rough idea of what to expect basically?

[ValePilot]

hi, when have you filled the application form?
I did it about two months ago.

[ValePilot]

Wow...and I'm waiting from two months!

Good luck man!

[Schoolflight575]

Is there anyone with info from a recent assessment.
HR and technical questions..:)

[ValePilot]

Is there anyone that have been recently contacted for the interview? Apart YoungAviator?

[zerotohero]

The longer your here the less you fly!, simply not the case, my hours as F/O went up over the years,I did move bases a bit to chase the busy schedulals but that worked and I did 90 hours + in summer and 80+ in winter

It's all about luck where you are and what your roster pattern is, ie if you on an early on a Wednesday you might get the long Canerys runs that month, the next guy might get a Stansted Dublin and back

Things are slowing though as aircraft deliverys are all but over and the sausage factory is still going to be turning out cadets, I know from jumpseating cadets that their really struggling for line training sectors at the moment and its taking a long time to get thru and that equates to earning no money while not safety pilot released and little monty after, there was one cadet recently who had to call it a day and go home as he could no longer afford to sit in hotels not flying

Think very very carefully

[appfo09]

This is a system of capitalism and slavery of the poor !

[benish]

I'm just applying now.
I don't see any option for how many exams did you fail? How do they find out?

Under the Licenses and Certificates section on the CAE site I chose CPL/ATPL Frozen as my license but I'm confused as what the expiry date should be?
Before EASA came it was 5 years for a CPL but now its all changed. CAE haven't seemed to have changed there website to reflect EASA.

Any pointers?

[ValePilot]

Mine is JAR, so my expiry date is 5 years.
I thinks is irrelevant

[Papa_Golf]

I attended the assessmente on 8th JAN. Sim was in Newcastle. Radar dep. Some turns, climb, acceleration. Then QDM interception, emergency on board. NDB procedure.

HR question were more or less the same you can find in this thread. Why RYR, why should we choose you etc etc... Technical question: Jetstream, IRS, GPS, Navigation means of B738, difference between two stroke and four stroke engines. The some question about RYR (fleet, history, bases...). In the end the ask you to choose three bases you'd like to be placed to and your availability.

As of today I'm still waiting for the response.

[Youngaviator254]

@papagolf How was the assessment in general? friendly? have mine on the 6th of feb! the tech q's pretty much as per the feedback..time for a week in the library! good luck.

quando hai fatto domanda alla cae?

[Papa_Golf]

They want you to be relaxed. They are aware that for the most of us is the first interview and from the beginning they do their best to make you feel well. Frank and John are the captains doing the sim and tech questions. Both very nice. The HR girl is friendly too.

Good luck

[Youngaviator254]

If anyone's booked in for the assessment, and is from OAA on wed 6th feb let me know and we can go through the sim profile.

[captain.weird]

Are the CAE students really preferred @RYR or not? Or is it still a mix from CAE, other schools and modular student?

[ValePilot]

Are the CAE students really preferred @RYR or not? Or is it still a mix from CAE, other schools and modular student?

I think a mix...

[Jetpipe.]

My background: modular course, 1 failed atpl-subject and no previous exp in 737. I did my assessment last december and got through!

And yes they ask you to bring your atpl-results to the interview.. I think though the cadet-door is closing after April 2013 and there will be no assessments until further notice after that date..

[Papa_Golf]

How many days passed before they gave you the result of your assessment?

[Libertine Winno]

@ Jetpipe

Forgive my ignorance of the subject, but does "I got through" mean you are then offered a place on a TR course and a contract, or just that you passed the sim and MAY be offered a place...?!

30Jan - Ireland - Ryanair - Recruitment freeze from April 2013

...:mad:

[cscan8973]

I will soon be applying for a position for flight crew with Ryan Air, I will be doing some time on the 737-800 sim to get aquanted with the cockpit and am studying a book that contains over 1000 technical questions that could be asked.

If anyone would have any idea of the type of questions asked during Ryan Air Interviews it would be a great help. Is there any particular area that they ask questions about?

Any info would be brilliant.

[ValePilot]

If you read previous pages, you will find everything!

[cscan8973]

Hi Vale,

Been reading through the previous pages, goes from one extreme to another, from tech questions to how many seats on the a/c. will keep on going with the studying and just keep my eye on the site. Good luck

[cscan8973]

I also read that the Ryan Air cadets will stop after April 2013. Can anyone give any info on this!!! PLEASE

--

Yes it is true, some of TR courses have been already cancelled... don't know what happened to these cadets. Anyway, in your contract for type-rating there is nothing to bond RYR to give you job, it is only TR contract.

FO's are leaving RYR with lower rate than was expected = no need for recruitment.

RYR is actually highly overcrewed (FOs), on some bases pilots have around 40 hours per month + worse Storm contract = very low salary. Every contractor has 1 month off per year unpaid ...

TR + additional costs (uniform, IDs, living costs for 6 months, commuting, etc.) = EUR 40.000 ...so be ready for that and have big financial reserves!!! You will have to pay for your line training (166 sectors) from your salary and salary is being paid when safety pilot is released, after approx. 2 months after License skill test at the end of typerating (depends on base).

Everyone should have Irish CPL licence before the end of the typerating. JAA licence conversion costs EUR 380 and TR endorsement costs EUR 260. Check IAA website.

Most of the smaller, southern and newer bases are on 5/3 roster during summer, so commuting home is sometimes difficult (routes are not operated daily) and during winter, half of the routes is not operated at all (seasonal), so you need to pay for air tickets with different company or go by car.

Be ready to undergo 5 and 10 years criminal and employment/study history check with no unconfirmed gaps. Verified by external company (..and paid by the pilot of course :D )

Hope it 's helpful..

[Dressah]

What he is saying isn't true, so it hasen't changed that much i reckon. In the contract it states a minimum of 66 sectors linetraining, and you certainly don't pay for it, you get payed. You only start to get payed after safety release, but that like you said, only takes a few days.

- And btw, about the cancelled courses, it's future planned courses, not current ones, so it hasen't affected current cadets, only the career of those who plan on joining Ryanair in a couple of months!

[CirrusCZ]

It is true, your are paying for line-training EUR20/sbh deducted from your salary, it is stated in the contract. And yes, sorry for the mistake with (1)66 sectors, it's minimum, average is around 90-100 sectors.

[Adam106]

Where exactly have you two heard that FR will freeze cadets in April? I can't find a reference to it online.
Is it a rumor or confirmed? Do you mean that CAE / Interviews will stop in April or no new TR course after April?
Why are they still doing assessments if TR courses have been cancelled?

[CirrusCZ]

They do assesments because its revenue... FR TRs cancelation confirmed via internal website.

[ValePilot]

I read here the notice.

Pilot Jobs Network - Recruitment news for airline pilots (http://www.pilotjobsnetwork.com/)

[snak]

In some bases FO are flying 20-25 hrs.
Apparently the cadet intake for 2013 will be less than half of 2012, and no more applications from April 2013...

For the safety pilot release it depends...minimum is 12 sectors, what I heard is because FO are flying so few hrs some ltc tend to release cadets a bit later in order to give the opportunity of earning something to the local FO's doing safety pilot.
that's a rumor!

[ValePilot]

They do assesments because its revenue... FR TRs cancelation confirmed via internal website.

But nobody have been called at momento for assessment...

[snak]

from pprune maybe ;)

[jeehaa]

Lot of nonfactual info again on this page, misinterpreted or on purpose.

pay during LT -20€, after safety pilot release, which is somewhat between 8-14 sectors for most of the guys. Minimum sectors for Linecheck is 66, average in the last months for most of the guys 75.

After basetraining, the 21days rule applies, until the first sectors have been done. Since last november, most of the cadets were scheduled for 1 week - 4 sectors average, to meet the 90 days 3 t/o - ldgs requirement so that the 21 days rule does not apply anymore. Multiple cadets have been on the ground after their first sectors from 5-9 weeks. After that, reasonable amount of sectors, which should complete linetraining for the majority of the cadets in 1,5 - 2 months after 'recommencing' the linetraining.

Internal memo explained the outset of this years recruitment plans. some things from that: less than 200 TRs scheduled for this year, not all have been filled yet. No more applications accepted after March

[ValePilot]

I got the mail from cae to send in my cv a couple of days ago, and the next day that they have forwarded it to FR, so we'll see what happens

When did you applied the program??

They are incredible...

[ValePilot]

Did you do the training with Oxford?

[worldoffe]

@ Pirrex: I've sent you a message :)

[ValePilot]

I'm waiting from two months and half...

@Pirrex did you applied only from one mail?

[jeehaa]

Most of you guys seem to miss a critical point: some lucky ones will get an email or call after applying, the majority will never hear anything. Those who will have a call or email could get that after 1-2 days, some after 6-7 months. Don't get your hopes up, so it can only be better than that. Don't expect any reply, certainly after the recent announcement about the recruitment for this year.

[BlakyBlack87]

Almost 20 days waiting for the assessment results.. :sad: !?!

anyone in the same position? should I expect an e-mail or a call?

cheers guys

[finswe]

Hi all,

I´ve been reading this site awhile now and finally decided to join you. :)
I got an email from CAE a few days ago as well and I applied in last december. Since I don´t have 1 hour flight time during last 6 months I have to wait before sending my cv to them. Fortunately I got an a/c for next weekend. We´ll see what happens then...

[Wrightflyer1]

See below and quote from Ryanair website...

*Note: Due to the introduction of EU Commission Regulation No. 1178/2011 on the 8th of April 2012, which restricts airlines' ability to conduct checks on holders of EASA Part-FCL Licenses, holders of Part-FCL licenses are eligible to apply but, if successful, will only be offered training course places commencing after 8th April 2013 and only if that EASA PART FCL Licence can be transferred to an IAA issued EASA PART FCL Licence.

- This would suggest that there will be courses after April 2012, at the very least it certainly doesn't rule them out. But, with aviation, theres obviously no guarantee.

[ValePilot]

Almost 20 days waiting for the assessment results.. !?!

anyone in the same position? should I expect an e-mail or a call?

cheers guys

I'm waiting from two months...same your position!!

[jeehaa]

There will be courses after April, both in EMT and CAE, just as said a few pages back. BUT only people from the CV 'pool' will be used for the selection days.

[ValePilot]

And why are they still calling people for the CV?

[finswe]

Maybe they are calling CVs until April.?

[jeehaa]

Please, to all of you, read the posts carefully, and there will be no misunderstandings!

If you apply and are requested to send your CV, it will go onto a big pile of other CV's. SOME of them get an invitation for the assessment, MOST of them don't. That is the way it's works, whether you like it or not. Didn't hear anything for a long time? Be creative! Complaining about it on this forum is not.

[Papa_Golf]

Today someone from the 8/9 Jan assessment got the rejection email. They are getting quite slow... If you read the first pages of this thread guys in 2007/2008 got their reply a hour after the assessment or the day after...

[Schoolflight575]

Aarrg thought that a late response was a good sign :/

[Boeing007]

I spoke with some friends today. Most of them did their flight training through CAE. They went to Ryanair for an assesment early january and all got a rejection email. One of the guys told that in the email it was said that they were booked full for 2013, and that was the reason why they were all rejected?? All these guys got very good feedback on their assesments and were told that 'good news would probably come within 2 weeks'. What is going on? Can anyone confirm this?

[Papa_Golf]

Aarrg thought that a late response was a good sign :/

Me too... I did the assessment with the forementioned guys but still no news as of today. Finger crossed:ok:

Of course NOT... Nobody can... No feedback in anyway is given per email, nor any other reason not to take people.

'Good feedback on their assessment' can be interpretated in many ways, especially from hear say and from ppl that came out of the assesment 'high' or 'stoned'.

[Boeing007]

Then why would they say: 'good news will probably arrive within 2 weeks?'

Opportunita? di carriera - Pilot Recruitment (http://www.ryanair.com/it/careers/job/10002)

finally is official:

In light of reduced requirement for cadet pilots in the 2013/2014 recruitment period and the overwhelming demand for places on the cadet programme, the cadet application portal will close from 1st April 2013 until further notice.

All applicants who meet the below criteria and wish to apply should do so before 1st April 2013. Candidates must have completed all aspects of their training before applying for a cadet position.

[ValePilot]

It will open again one day. Some will upgrade, some will leave.

I hope soon...but maybe the next year, for potential order of 200 aircrafts

[PIOSEE]

I'd say RYR will always recruit. Numbers might be less, but there will always be a turnover. It's a healthy profit that they couldn't resist to shy away from. Who knows!

[Boeing007]

Is it true that ryanair changes the requirements for passing the cadet selection from time to time? Heard of whole batches failing lately while last year the passing rate has been 60-70 percent in some months?! Coincidence or..?

[spudnic1]

From a very good source, recruitment will continue after 1st April :ok:.

Cadets who apply before 1st April will be still be assessed and placed on courses after 1st April, however, new cadets will not be able to apply after 1st April.

[Boeing007]

Is it really true that they have a certain standard, which, if one meets that level, they will take you on? I know many guys passing the assesment last year while this year all of the guys i know that went there failed the assesment :S. Do their preferences for school, nationality etc change and thats why the passing rates change?? Just curious...

[jeehaa]

Boeing007, don't get me wrong, but this is not your first 'suggestive'-question. The fact is that nobody knows, except for the recruitment team. They will have no such interest in telling others outside their working area if and why they take or don't take certain guys. There is no factual info about that, other than the numbers of people 'you speak to'. Numbers of failures can give assumptions, but nothing is factual! Bear that in mind.

What I can confirm is: yes they took a lot of guys and girls last year, yes they were from all sorts and forms, yes some of them were from the same flyingschool in particular CAE OAA, some of them were not, yes there were girls, yes there were idiots amongst them.
That they don't seem to take as much cadets as last year, is not more than logic if you bear in mind that more than half of the training for this year is suspended.
If you still want to be in the pool of people that get a chance for a place in the company, go for it, or not, but you will have to decide that for yourself.

[ValePilot]

From a very good source, recruitment will continue after 1st April .

Cadets who apply before 1st April will be still be assessed and placed on courses after 1st April, however, new cadets will not be able to apply after 1st April

Do you mean people that just sended their CV? Because I applied 3 months ago without any reply!

[gossetti]

Starting from April will they keep recruiting pilots and arranging assessments? Will they contact people for an assessment from the current database?

[jeehaa]

*cough* - are you guys seriously blind or is there another reason why you are not reading previous posts...

[ValePilot]

Why? They are not clear I guess!
The recruitment process will stop for everybody or for people that will apply after 1st of April? Who applied before, could have the same an assessment after 1st of April?? This is the question

[jeehaa]

To answer your questions at the same time: yes! And that was explained some pages ago.

[FlyPing]

Anybody from recent assessments heard anything back?

[Boeing007]

It could be very well possible that the reason for the long wait for assesment results is because they compare everyone's results and chose their pick. With so few spots available this year, they are going for the best.

[FlyPing]

That would certainly make sense :ugh:

[Boeing007]

I mean, it can be.. Right?
The thing is, they tell you at the morning of the interview that they have a certain standard.. If you have that standard, you're in, if not.. Byebye.
No need for competition, if you guys are all up to that standard, we take you all. That's what is said right? But is that still reality? Of course not! Interviews go on at the same rate as last year and they have less than half of the spots available. So there is competition now, in my opinion they will chose the best. Can anyone eleborate?

[fulminn]

i had the assessment on january 9, and i wait until february 11 to have a positive response, bad email was sent a week before.
I start type rating on april 8, they are going very slow i think due to the huge quantity of people applyng.
I heard about last 12 TR course in ema and 5 in ams, so will be around 200 new cadet and stop.

Hi guys...I know the recruitment situation of Ryanair...but I have a question for you. I did the application with different 4 mail how suggested from some friends. Have you done the same thing? Or have you filled the application with only one? I'm afraid that this thing can be irritating for them. Do you suggest me remove the other 3 mail and mantain only one (maybe the older)?

Thanks!

[victorc10]

Why would you apply with four different e-mail? You are applying for a professional position! If it is an attempt to give yourself some sort of advantage (it will not) then it brings into question your attitude, would it not?

[finswe]

I agree with victorc10. 1 email should be enough and professional. For me it worked. I applied in december and got CV request on late january.

[ValePilot]

I applied in November with a friend of mine. This friend with only one mail...he is still waiting; his situation is not professional like your? This is not the problem...i think that people like you are very lucky to get a quickly answer after few months.

[finswe]

Yeah I think their system is pretty random. Lucky ones get picked in a month and others have to wait a half an year.

[Mr Boombastick]

God this thread is draining!!

Has anyone actually got anything worth adding such as recent interview questions, sim profiles or if anyone has received good or bad news following their assessments??

Valepilot - you need to get a grip fella, you sound like your on the edge!! You need to understand that there are literally thousands of applications on cae's system, you will get the email either through sheer luck or if you meet certain criteria which nobody knows... Maybe you will.... Maybe you won't...

Please please stop filling this thread with utter dross! If you go back a year or two on here there's some useful stuff if you can cut through the slagging, I think there have been one or two useful posts on here in the last few months, most of it is pure unadulterated :mad: spouted by the likes of you!
