Just for those who are wondering timescales... My experience as follows.
Integrated OAA graduate 97% first time passes in all theory / flight tests, CV sent from OAA to Ryanair on 29th Jan. Telephone interview 18th Feb inviting me to assessment the next week.
Had my assessment 25th Feb, got positive news 3 weeks one day later. Type rating initially June but was called the next day to offer me a place on the May course due to a cancellation.
One Dutch guy on my assessment graduated from CAE in Nov 2012, so he had a long wait even though he was an integrated student with CAE.
Hope this helps steady your nerves, and good luck if you are awaiting an assessment!

Ryan Air assesement
Hy guys, I applied Nov 2012 at FR but NO ANSWER till now... I donīt understand this system, how is it going?
I heard, that FR have approx. 4000 CVīs in database and they need 600 Pilots this year.
So they take every sixth CV and invite these guys.
A friend of mine got an invitation 3 weeks ago and applied 4 months after me.
Itīs forbidden to contact any rectuitment team, otherwise you can be disqualified, so I donīt know what to do...I become desperate

It is forbidden to promote your cv with nearly every company in the world. However, particularly in the aviation industry, if you know a certain somebody in the HR Dept, it helps to get your CV bumped up the pile!!!
Not saying I do, just contacts and networking is key to a first job, especially in aviation!

Hi everybody,
Does anyone know if the ''1 hour of actual aircraft time in the last 6 months'' has to be on a Multi engine or a Single engine ?
I would be interested to know the information requested by Danyboyswe and cefey as well.

Just as it states: ''1 hour of actual aircraft time in the last 6 months''
A SEP is a actual aircraft is it?!
With me it took almost 9 weeks after the assessment until I received the positive news, in general, everybody waiting for longer than 3 weeks gets positive news.

I have the same question as Danyboyswe:
Also, is this "1 MB" requirement for scanned CPL/IR/ME copies followed strictly? In my case, I had 8 sheets of paper and to have just a readable quality of the scans (even in B&W) requires slightly more than 1 MB. Could this be the reason for rejection?
Edit:
Answer to my own question
:
Slightly more than 1 MB for CPL/IR/ME papers appears to be acceptable for Ryan's recruitment team.
How long did you guys have to wait since sending CV to the next email?
