Thanks fanrailuk,
I didnt think it was a good idea but I guess I needed someone to tell me that its bad! If I cant be guaranteed one of those bases then there is no point for me, I would love to go for it but the boyfriend wouldn't approve!
That really helped alot, thank you

Let me get my mind around one thing...
Hi all, I'm moving to Germany next week, and have been invited to a Cavok reruitment day in Girona, Spain.
If I were to go to the recruitment day, does that mean my training will be in Spain?
Or is that just where that particular recruitment day is being held, and if successful I get to apply for 3 bases where the training will also be held?
So confusing... I want Bremen base in Germany..!

If your assessment day is in GRO then your training will be held there too, as that is where Cavok will want you to be trained; although you could possibly ask to be trained at another of their training facilities?
According to the posts on here, and from questions I've asked previously, of the 3 bases you request should you be accepted to train, there is only a 70% chance that you will be posted at one of them - it's normally at FR's discretion where they need you!
Hope this helps

Questions ???
Hi.
I have passed an interview with RA and I will start my training very soon. I have a couple of questions.
1. There should be an another interview the first day. Anybody knows what is that about? Any tests, English or Maths, Group activities? Anything special?
2. ID process. I heard some people waited for the CRB checks for three months...So I wonder as the training lasts 5 weeks we might end up being on hold will no income until we get the ID. Does that happen often? What could we do to speed that process up?
3. I read some bad feadback about New Joiners Allowance. It is worth taking it?
Any help appreciated. Many thanks.

fanrailuk; I start on the 27th April too. Was you at the open day on the 18th?
I'm a little unsure what to do though; I'm a student on £30 a week EMA, I haven't yet got the money for the deposit =/

My Sister has applied for a job with Dalmac for the contract work with Ryanair as a Air Hostess. I told her I would get some information of this site as she is not a member.
Here are some of the questions :
1) What is the Roster situation like? AM and PM it says on the website but could some one please elabirate on the working hours, ie, What are the normal shift patterns and how many sectors on average would most people do a day?
2) Pay?
3) What is the hardest part(duty) about the job itself when on board the aircraft?
4) Ive noticed myself that at first you will be a contracter! Like the Contract pilots for Brookfields(FR), does that mean cabin crew are able to claim back the VAT that they have paid for the training course, ID's, Uniform etc.
Many Thanks guys.

Please Answer
hey guys, I have been accepted to do a cabin crew training for Ryan Air, but I'm not really sure about it, what I would like to know is if I shall get the job after finishing the course, cos I would spend my whole budget in paying the deposit and the accommodation for the 6 weeks of the course...thanks

the truth!!
I am currently cabin crew for ryanair!!
i started out with them about this time last year and i will admit if you want the experience go for it, but please be advised that your financial and physical position will be messy!!
i had fun with ryanair for my 1st 6 months then after they cut your hours, lower your pay start giving you letters about ****.. eg: i have no lates or sicks and no shows but they tried to pick on me by sending me letters about my average spend etc..
in general i think its only worth it for experience but please dont even consider becoming no.1 or excelling your carreer in ryanair.. just got to another airline!!!
me.. Im leaving the company as i have been acepted to work for a long haul carrier!!
good luck!!!
p.s. don't become a number 1 or stay for 3 years!!!
its degrading!!

Training cost for Ryanair..?
Pathetic how the crew and management at Ryanair are taking cheap shots at each other.. at the expense of themselves, and at the expense of the cabin crew. Is the airline really that fragmented and catty?

What really got my attention was the comment about the supposed training fee for cabin crew..
That can't be accurate, right?!

Ryanair's contract cabin crew providers charge new recruits for the cost of their training – 3000 euros in fact.'

Sounds about right. From what I understand, it is paid by direct debit over a number of months. I'm sure someone who works for them can confirm this.
Why would you think it was untrue?
