As far as I know, Ryanair have been recruiting CTC trainees (both integrated and modular) since forever with FTE and OAA trainees. It just seems they will be a third training location for the type rating course: Amsterdam, East Midlands and Southampton.
It seems it has to do only with training capacity.

CTC&OAA&FTE together do no have the capacity to fill the needs of RYANAIR! Ryanair will have a huge demand for pilots during the following years! As RedBull said the CTC agreement is just like the CAE OAA they will use their premises for the type rating courses and CTC cadets will be called first! That's all! OAA integrateds are paying twice the price for being called sooner than modulars, now the CTC folks as well!
Nothing new!

When I say training capacity, I mean places where they run their type rating course. Not cadets. I did not say CTC cadets will be called first. There might be some preference maybe, same story with OAA and CAE academies, but modular guys will still have their share of chances.
They recruit from all over Europe, not just from UK schools.
Urbe Aero in Rome trained many pilots in Italy that now fly for Ryanair for example. And Urbe isn't the only school in Italy that has a good number of Italian past students now flying for Ryanair.

Anyone with recent selection experience? Received email 30th of April, replied one day later, and since then no response.
Here in forum are just posts, where is stated 2-3 days till response, and guys meanwhile used to receive mail confirming, that their cvs were sent to RYR for aproval.
For me absolutely nothing. Is it because of huge number of guys they are assesing these days? Thank you guys for any info.

10 months waiting since applying.
Don't know how much time i'm going to wait for them to call me, anyone else in the same situation? a little bit frustrating...
I know they don't owe a interview to anybody but , know people been called in less than 2 months.

EFIS mode
Hi,
Has anyone asked the SIM assessor if they can fly with PFD/ND mode instead of EFIS if both you and your SIM partner are more used to that?
If EFIS mode is used only to facilitate for people without any B737 experience it may not be a problem?
Thanks

maciekish this is what you'll get:
The only thing you can ask is to get your PFD as the basic T if you're not familiar with the PFD of the 737.
You will get flight directors for your departure only but don't forget to set it up otherwise it will confuse you.

@plikee have the procedures changed? What you describe is the regular PFD/ND layout which im familiar with. But i have heard Ryanair uses the EFIS (Southwest) style layout only for the assessment. Maybe there was a misunderstanding in my question?

They used the EFIS style panel in Stansted when I was there. From what I've heard, maybe they use the regular type in Ireland, but I'm not sure.
Might be that they changed it in STN as well, it is after all about 6 months since I was there.
Something like this:
Does any airline actually use this setup?

It was designed (like a lot of useless crap on the 737) for SWA so pilots could just step from the Classic to the NG without any crosstraining as the primary flight instrumentation was the same.
I believe that SWA may no longer use it though.

I waited nearly 3 years. One guy in the interview waited 5 years. A guy in this thread sent his CV, was waiting for an answer but they took long and he decided to e-mail them again, got rejected straight after. Patience is the key, remember! People that have been called so early are CAE OAA students or were just
That's me Unfortunately, I couldn't have waited.
Now I am back at the starting point.

So after requesting your CV and sending them, just because they lasted a lot of time and you tried to get in contact asking if everything was going well with your application you got a PFO letter? Really? Bad point for Ryanair...
Anyway we all know who we are dealing with when applying with them. They're not EK for sure.

For anyone interested:
Had an assessment 2 weeks ago.
Sim: EMA non-standard departure, airwork, tracking an NDB inbound, entering hold over NDB, emergency - I got a medical emergency, my sim partner a galley fire. Then ILS intercept, once visual G/S and LOC out, land visually.
Interview: I had the good cop, bad cop arrangement.
Tech questions:
-Jetstreams
- Anti-icing/ de-icing
- Carb ice and carb heat
- What is Mcrit, why is it good for it to be high
- Why do we fly at Mach Number
HR:
- Why Ryanair
- Why did I go to my flight school
- How did I get on with my instructors
- How did I pay for training
- What will be the most challenging aspect if you join Ryanair
Out of 8, 5 of us made it, 3 didn't.
Good luck to all! See you on the flight deck!
