Galwaypilot- Thank you for the post... I 100% agree, whether to call it a "ban" i don't know, but you have a point. Maybe it's the fact that Ireland being in western europe and Ryanair's expansion plans are happening in the east, they are focusing taking on eastern european pilots?? Mainly for location purposes. Again who knows! This place should be called 'rumourmill.com'. One thing is certain I have heard of this Irish pilot recruitment freeze currently taking place from EXTREMELY reliable sources within Ryanair. (No names going to be mentioned obviously!)
I share both your interest and concern on the matter, as am one of the Irish who is waiting for the call that may never come, all because of a little purple book bearing the golden harp with my photo in it. Pity! Let's hope it changes for the better.

Galwaypilot,
I totally agree, its not very fair with how they are dealing with things. I have the qualities which Ryanair seem to be hiring at the moment, e.g-20-28 year old, <300hrs. I applied back at the end of November around the same time as people i know, they got the call 3 weeks after they applied and im still waiting, 3months after. Even people i know that have applied within the last few weeks have been through the assessment and have jobs!
p.s. i have 1st time passess in theory,cpl and ir with and excellent mcc/joc report.

Wake up.
If you have applied to them, then surely you have done some research on how they operate.
If it is true that they are not hiring Irish pilots then it is probable this edict came from the top.
Irish pilots can be trouble, they are not desperate enough, they organise amongst themselves.
Better to hire some Hungarians who can be bullied.
In the long run you will be grateful that you were not 'chosen'.
Best of luck to you in the job hunt.

Waffler.. It's easy for you to say we're not lucky to be "chosen". Really not much else out there. So a little respect/consideration would be nice. No doubt if you are/were employed there, the horror stories one would read on this site didn't deter you from appying to Ryanair/joining them. No job/waiting for a few years for the first break OR Ryanair? Personally, I'd prefere the latter.

"i really dont understand why people think irish pilots are not being called for interviews, i know several who have/ had interviews"
Ok BHD2BFS, let's hear it! Who are they? when did they apply and when did they get the interviews? where did they train? and how many people are we talking about?!
Further more, you quoted earlier you recieved an email from CAE? How's that coming along?! Assessment date yet?!

Has anyone got a call from CAE recently? I applied through OAA and got that infamous december email and nothing back. I spoke to them and they said things were still ongoing but I'm not hopefull.
I've not got a sense of entitlement that I should be getting an interview but it's the same information that goes through both companies so I'm not sure why i wouldn't at least get a call from CAE to check if I had first time passes etc. There doesn't seem to be any contact information for then either. Although if the majority aren't getting called that makes me feel a bit better.

I just wanted to say the anti-Irish thing is definitely happening. I am Irish and have heard nothing since finishing training 9 months ago. Everyone in my school got an interview right up to a month before I applied. Its common knowledge people. All the instructors in my school, current FR pilots etc are openly discussing it now. It's actually nothing short of a national disgrace. One of Ireland's most successful companies not interviewing Irish people. Crazy stuff. Someone ought to ring up Joe Duffy!!

True Chorse, couldn't be anymore obvious at this stage. Contacting the media is not an option as it's been tried. Ryr have it all figured out! Captain.weird, I have done all my training in Ireland. I'm sure Chorse is the same...

Totally agree, the facts speak for themselves.
Ryr do not want Irish Pilots indefinitely and nothing is going to change that unless MOL & Co have a complete change of tact.
These people would eat their own children in the pursuit of profit

We seem to be victims of timing, as with most things. Pretty unlucky but there's nothing we can do. I was told that the OAA applications are still ongoing but I'd take that with a pinch of salt. As I said, the only saving trace is that it generally seems quiet, but then again not everyone comes on here.
An email saying you were unsuccessful isn't too much to ask. But this is aviation.

I applied in November too,I have also been informed off a reliable source in RYR at the start of Feb who said don't expect a call soon. Typical Irish airline banning their own. Only in Ireland!
Also the last Irish person to get into Ryanair was interviewed in May 2011 and he started his course in August. Thats a fact.

That Infamous Email
Hi !
Thinking about that , ,
it could sound like a title, the kick-off of a new TV fiction / telenovela , freshly produced.!
just to laugh and not desperating about that email RYR sent to a great platea of us, in the mid of December!!
It's not definitely a good thing waiting for any kind of signs from outside so passively, but i really understand, maybe there's only that ...
Bye all!
