Good luck
To those going for an interview good luck....i did start another thread about my experiences on my interview and sim check but its been merged into this thread....so it kinda looks confusing. IM me if you want some of the details again.
As for the contract i am waiting on mine to arrive and will post any relevent parts when i see it. From what i have heard from guys i know that have started on a Brookfield contract there is no bond but you do have a 3 month notice period. You will lose about 4.5 Euros an hour from your pay to pay for your sim time going forward.

Requirements Update
Hey guys.
I'm now commencing the selection process for "cadet" (280h newbie) with Ryanair. Having just reviewed the careers section of the website I've read the following news posted toward the top of the page:
http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/about...eers&ref=10002
"Our Non 737 rated First Officer training courses for 2007 are now fully subscribed. The next training course may commence in April 2008".
Then a couple of paragraphs below it states:
"We are constantly recruiting Cadets. Courses for Cadets take place on a monthly basis at Ryanair approved schools".
Firstly, am I right in saying that there are still places for cadets. ie non rated non first officers?
Secondly, If that is the case, why would they freeze the type ratings for experienced F/O's over us cadets? Is it not the same course? We both have to have a TR and they would have more experience to offer?
(No cynics please, I understand everything about capitalism and the desire to make profit.
I just can't see it on this one though?).
Thirdly, the website states that guys with MCC should just apply direct to SAS or CAE. (Links provided). However the SAS website says if you haven't done the MCC with them then apply in the first instance to Ryanair? There seems to be an online application on the CAE website. Does everybody just use this one then? I was told the other day that if you pass selection then Ryanair decide which school you go to anyway?
Enlighten me!

CAE Accommodation
Hi
Is anyone out there starting the RYR Type Rating on the 15th October. I'm looking to share some accommodation in Amsterdam. If anyone has any ideas PM me.
Has anyone else done the TR and found a good place to stay while at CAE, Any info would be great folks.

Wannabe Airways,
The cadet scheme is still open.
You can apply to either CAE or SAA or both pressumably. CAE has the online application. You should send your CV to Stephan with a covering email stating you wish to apply for SAA.
You choose which school you wish to train at after you pass the assessment.
Good luck.

Ryr Tr
Correct me if im wrong but you dont get a choice where you do your type rating. They offer you a place on the next one, ( they offered me SAS ) either SAS or CAE and you either take it or adios. I would be interested if someone knows different !!

I believe they currently give you the option to swith from a Brookfield contract to a Ryan one by paying €2,500
As far as I know, from current pilots at Ryanair, they are very happy with their Brookfield contracts
And I acknowledge that potentially, personal experience of different individuals will be different, but all I can say from Brookfield is that they did a pretty good job at the Open Day last weekend and that they seem a very efficient organisation - sure someone may have had a bad experience with them, but my personal experience is, up to now, excellent

If of course Ryanair want new employees then they can change there minds? But I don't think Brookfield would be happy with that. Remember, Brookfield & Ryanair work together in a partnership, they do not (should not) work against each other.

It is this way, or at least this is a possible way (maybe not the only one) - they told us so in the Open Day
Besides, it is not that strange - Brookfield helps in the recruiting process, and in exchange, if you want to swith to Ryanair contract, you have to pay them in compensation - makes total sense to me
It is not they are working "against" Ryan - just the opposite: as they collaborate so closely, they give the possibility of changing contracts (or at least, they are starting to do so in the new ones)

OK, I think I get where you are going now, though you may be able to change from Brookfield to Ryanair (with or without a charge?), the chances are very very slim, Ryanair have not been known to offer this to many, Im not saying it does not happen, but it is rare, the other way around happens a bit though...

Interview/sim check Ryanair EMA
Hi guys,

Which sid's can be expected at EMA if flown from Liverpool, Leeds Bradford and Prestwick, or will it be a straight out departure?
Cheers,
M1

YYZ try and understand, I know it must be hard for you
I just wanted to know what questions have been asked in previous interviews, at the open day they only gave a couple of examples. I bet you didn't complain when looking at feedback for the atpl ground school.

Great comeback but my question was genuine, I too was at the open day and any question asked by potential cadets was answered fully, during the interview any question will/can be asked, but I know Ryanair pointed all in the correct place to focus attentions.
Surely you cannot expect the interview to be given to you on a plate, you must expect to do some preparation for the assessment day?
Try to be aware some people are willing and able to try help you if you give them a chance, pseudonyms do tend to make people act in a way they would not normally should they know the person they are talking too and/or the other person knows them....

hi whizzer! congrats! when are you starting the TR? CAE or SAS?
btw, one question - I went to an open day (1st september) and still haven't got any answer from them (in the form of a date for an assesment) - did u go to any open day?
has anyone else going to this open day been called for an assesment?
(unsure if I should follow-up by email with Ryanair guys or better wait patiently till they call me - or not...)
just for me to know, would be great if u could tell me if you guys that also went to the 1-2 sep open day have already been called...
