Becoming a pilot for an airline
Hello lads and ladys. I am wondering if the Irish airliners are recruiting cadets such as lingus and ryanair and also transaer where can you find out about it and what would the entry requirments be for this.
Also if You went to a flying club to get trained and u had to pay had £20,000 or so for all the licences such as ppl cpl and the multi engine licence for training could the goverment give you a grant to subsadise the total amount.
P.s is there any scheme out there so u can be trained as a pilot for an airline.
Please help me with this topic because i wrote off to lots of airliners lots of times for info and got no reply.
Also can you tell me the address for aer lingus at dublin airport. the recuritment address that is.

That amount of money will get U something in USA. Remember you've got to have at least: CPL, Multi rating, Instrument Rating and ATPL (Subjects). Thats the minimum and in UK or Ireland it would probably cost you a lot more than 20K.
Anyway don't let that stop U, there's always a way around things. Good Luck!

Try Australia as well, even better, New Zealand. The only way I know of becoming an airline pilot is to work your way up. There is an Airline Cadet Scheme with CX, QF and even AN (Correct me if I'm wrong) for locals only. I suggest you try to contact your local airline again.

If you've got any family in the UK, trade on that connection for a Flying Scholarship from the RAF.
I don't know if it's still possible for an Irish citizen, but it used to be- essentially you are saying that you are interested in being a pilot with the RAF, and they are assessing your flying ability. It's only 20 hours, but it's a start!

What is it with the attitude amongst some of the younger wannabe's these days. Lets not forget what happens when personalities and intimidating personalities are in the LHS with a nervy junioy FO. Just cause you're in a rush to get into an airline job doesn't mean you're qualified to be rude, brash and abrasive. Spot on for reminding Flyer from the IABB that these qualities are not looked favourably on in interviews, and surely psychometric testing is designed to weed out these characters from the pool of applicants...
