Hi
I went to the assessment the 25th of April, and first got my response June 11. I was successful, but I will not start type-rating until 6th of January 2014.
So I guess things ain't moving that fast.

Thanks
I applied somewhere about march 25th, but I know a lot of other guys who waited much much longer for an assessment, so it seems pretty random.

Is that a joke? Sorry to hear you are joining such an organization. I can't believe that people are still signing up for this... Good luck guys - bring the lube and enjoy the "airline" lifestyle...

There are people because they want to fly. And you can think about ryanair what you want. Nobody treats you to work there! So let people be happy when they reach there goals and stop reading this blog when you have this thinkings!

6th June?

Any attendees from the 6th June assessment day heard anything back yet? Successful or otherwise?

How long did people have to wait between assessment days and a response? Again successful or otherwise.

January 2014? Wow.

Either their courses are really booked up or they're just not needing many pilots atm?

Anybody that got the TR 2nd September in AMS, there's a Facebook group set up for the course if you want to join. Just search in Facebook for Ryanair Type Rating Program - CAE1302

Cheers

Hello everyone, just a quick question.. I am currently doing my ATPL's and will then go straight onto cpl,me/IR.
My question is that by the time I finish I will be 25years of age will this pose a problem with getting invited for an interview with ryanair as I am not meeting the rumoured ryanair "age bracket"

Kind regards.

A couple of guys in my type rating course were 29 at thr date of joining, so don't worry about the so called age limit, because it does not exist. Furthermore one of our SFIs joined as a cadet (200 hrs) at the age of 42!

A friend claims there are 2 people in their early 30s on his type rating course with Ryanair.

A couple of guys in my type rating course were 29 at thr date of joining, so don't worry about the so called age limit, because it does not exist. Furthermore one of our SFIs joined as a cadet (200 hrs) at the age of 42!
As with a lot of things on pprune, the Ryanair age limit thing seems to be like chinese whispers from people I've spoken to.

Thanks for your response guys much appreciated! I guess that gives me a bit of hope! Here's hoping ryanair open up the vacancy again in 2014 I suspect they will considering their huge order of a/c.

On the other hand I know 3 guys, all between 30 and 33 years of age, that applied and specifically one of them 3 years ago and never got called.

Someone that was hired argued that it was his CV and attitude but clearly during the first stage of the application you don't upload any CV and you can't really tell about a pilot's attitude by just writing his name and age in a form..........

Do guys going through training or that have applied to FR know what the ACTUAL situation is now??

We are flying 50/60 hrs per month in summer and winter it is dropping off to 20/30. No matter how many hours you fly you are losing approx. half your salary(yes half!) to income tax in Ireland and social security in the country you are based in. Your social security rates are eye watering as you are footing the company's contribution. I know guys looking at working second jobs in the winter! It is that bad! I understand how difficult it is for guys finding that first job but you have to ask yourself is this worth it anymore. It is a part time job and its a FACT you will not earn enough in winter months to pay for rent, car, loan repayments, mortgages at home, cost of living.

Guys need to start asking questions at application stage/at interview stage, ask CAE about what the actual situation is now etc The word needs to spread quickly. No, Fr will not change based on this alone but along with RPG and REPA working from within this is the only way to change things for the better.
