Ryanair rejection rate !
Hello !
I was wondering if some of you could estimate FR's rejection rate for 737 type rated people with 500 hours on type.
I actually had just bad experience with Tyrolean Airways/Austrian Arrors, and it s not that I am paranoid but a little bit courious !
Thanks for the answers.

Just make sure you know basic IFR flying skills(remember QDM/QDR!) and can fly a SE ILS. Get use to clockwork dials, no FD's and no autopilot.
If you can do that you'll pass.
Attitude and good CRM of course.

'About 50% overall failure-rate, is what I've heard from a Ryanair captain.'
Does this mean after completing the type rating and paying £20,000+ 50% of people get the chop? seems very high to me considering the extra financial comittment and screening/ assesssment that has already taken place.
Do many of these 50% find other 737 jobs? or are they just swallowed up by a mountain of debt never to be seen again?

QDM is your magnetic track to the becon. QDR is your magentic track from the beacon.
as an aside, does anyone know where QNH came from?!? some kiwi pilot who instructs at my uni told me, but i dont believe him, if i get the same answer from you ill believe him!

QNH (and all the other Qs) comes from the WW2 RAF Q code, which had a three-letter code for almost anything aviation-related. It's been discussed before on this site, and there are plenty of references to it elsewhere on the interweb thingy.

Just to keep you guys hopeful. Spoke to a senior member of ryanair. This year is the first year that ryanair can't expand to its wishes. The reason you may ask? Well it's because they don't have enough pilots. Same story at Flybe, they don't have enough training time to train the pilots. Scroggs, you can confirm or deny this, but i've heard that even virgin can't get enough pilots (read experienced pilots) because all the training courses are full. The next 12 months will be like 1996-97, keep believing, and you will get there!!
