Have faith
Hi Guys, so i got my CV request email on 23 September, but unlike many people on this forum i didn't get the phone call in a few days/week, and so I've thought that they have forgotten about me, and was contemplating whether i should contact them or not. Until today when i finally got the CV approved email, and have been advised to expect a phone call with in the next 7 Days.
So it just goes to show, that you have to have faith and keep believing that it will happen.
If anyone that has had the phone call recently could shed some light as to what was asked i would be grateful.

The phone interview was very easy, actually is just a chat... I've been asked the expiry dates of my medical and ME IR, how many attempts for CPL, IR and ATPL subjects (and the average score), which kind of license i have (easa), if i already did the mcc course, how many flight hours i have (total, pic, sim), the date of my last flight and sim and if i ever worked for ryr. After that, she told me that i passed the interview and she gave me the date of the assessment.

Ryanair Assessment 27th October.
Hi to everyone,
As this forum has helped me during my preparation for the Ryanair interview, I want to share my experience if it helps for the coming candidates.
I has the assessment the 27th october this month and 3 days later I had a positive feedback from the contractor agency. They have offered me the Type Rating course starting the 1st of February in AMS or the one that will start the 7th of March in EMA. I told them the one which starts before.
Here you have what I was asked in my interview and how the simulator went.
HR questions:
- Why do you wanna work for Ryanair?
- Weaknesses and strenghts?
- What qualities a good captain must have?
- What if he didn't listen to you?
- Questions about my engineering degree.
- Who is going to pay for your TR?
- What do your parents do for a living?
- Are you going to return them the money of your TR?
- When can you start if you pass?
- Do you have any question?
Tech questions:
- The forces that act on an airplane in flight (lift, weight, thrust and drag)
- How would you make an aircraft more aerodynamically? Without taking into account the engines. (Thin, minimal chamber and swept wings)
- What is GPS?
- Jetstream? Why westerly? (Pressure gradient + coriolis)
- Max certified crosswind on DA42? Some calculations of Xwind
- Arrival airport conditions of temperature 2 degrees and dew point 2 degrees. What conditions can we expect? --> FOG
Simulator assessment:
WAL2N SID from EMA given non standard departure straight ahead 2000' then right turn heading 360 degrees climbing to 5000'.
Then climbs and descends, turns, speed changes. Then descend from 5000' to 3000' with ROC 1000 ft/min with right turn to heading XXX.
Then some questions about QDM interceptions when inbound to EME locator.
Entering the hold, cabin emergency, in this case was smoke in the cabin. Request to land and EMA and ILS approach to runway 27. Once visual with the runway G/S and LOC failure and continue the approach visually.
I hope it will help the future candidates and just think they need pilots, just be yourself, try to stay calm as much as possible but sometimes it's kinda difficult.
I wish you all the best.

If you look at your application on CAE it assigns a number. a long 00000000 and then a number. Looks like how many signed up before you. Mine is around 1100. Can anyone who has been called recently share a rough number.
Just wondering if applications are going random or following a number.

@mcdonnst2 Applications are going random I think because i was first contacted the 23rd of September and another guy that did the assessment with me too, and I have number 82 and he has around 1820.
Be patient, and everyone will have their opportunity.
Good luck,

I received the 23rd of July a mail from CAE requesting me to resubmit for TR 737 and choose 3 bases. I made it and when i submitted i got the message " thank you your application has been successfully submitted" until this no problem. But one or two days after i received a mail from CAE telling that people submitted between 23rd and 28th will be unsuccessfull and had to submit again. I tried to resubmit but it was impossible and got the message " you Already have submitted and Record in database" ( something like that) so i didn't understand the mail because i couldn't submit again as requested. I tried several Time after in august without success... And the 24th october in connecting to my account i saw a Line with " edit TR-00000010 07/27/2015 11:38 pm "
So at this Time i understood my error, i applied too earlier before the 28th... I decided to resubmit and got the message " thank you your application has been successfully submited "...
I flew the 30th october so i wanted to update this information and when i click on submit i got again the message " thank you your application has been successfully submitted"..then i can update information...
So my question do you think i am well Record in the database now? Someone in the same case? Or do you have any advice? I am patient but i just want to be sure that now everything is good...
Thank you in advance for your help answers and advice.

Interview Timings
Dear all.
Can anyone tell me the interviews in STN at what time they begin and specially at what time do they finish?
Reason why I have found a ticket from LHR at 19:55h. I would be traveling to south america and plane tickets are expensive.
So knowing the time the interviews finish would be great because going from STN to LHR would take at least one hour.
thank you for the replies!

There are 2 different mailing lists, successful and unsuccessful candidates. So those who passed receive an email from Storm Mc Ginley, and those who failed receive an email from RYR. Yes and No are not necessarily sent the same day. So if some guys of your day have received a No already, that sounds like a good news for you ;-)
