Today I received my positive answer!
I'm not sure which introduction course I'll take, but can't wait to begin
For those of you who are going to attend the assessments, good luck and keep faith!
The assessment days were really relaxed, although it was hard work in the simulator, but the assessors really make you feel relaxed and it was a nice day with the group.
For my preparation, I used:
- Pprune
- Ace
- Latestpilotinterviews.com
- Sim prep session in Dublin
So it was a lot of preparation, but the above points prepared me perfectly and in the end it was definitely worth it.
Good luck all and hope to meet up in the future!

Ok so I got an assessment for the 3rd of April. But I'm feeling a little bit suspicious about something, the CAE website at the first page, down at the bottom states:
"Successful candidates may be offered an opportunity to fly for a contract pilot agency that supplies a pool of pilots that operate on Ryanair aircraft."
So even if you pass the Ryanair's assessment and finish the CAE training program you may still not get a job? Can that happen or is it just in case the training goes horribly?

To meet you.. hope we can get in touch on WhatsApp

Hi All, Does anyone know if you can still get an interview (entering as a cadet) if I got a fail in some of the ATPL theory subjects? I have a first time pass in my CPL/IR skills test. Cheers

Does anyone know what RYR are looking for from the ATPLs? Particularly if you have a first time IR.
It seems common now for people particularly from the large integrated flight schools to have 4/5 fails! I've heard of the likes of Norwegian/Easy taking 6 or even more.

They use it as a filter. At the end of the day, as a pilot, it doesn't matter whether you scored well or not in your ATPLs. Having said that you are expected to have sound knowledge in certain topics like performance.

Ryanair Application Form
Hi Guys and Girls,
I'm currently going through my RYR application form and have heard from others that you have to be careful when selecting preferred bases so as not to be seen as fussy, particularly if you are from the UK.
If I were to prefer UK bases but be up for moving anywhere, what are the best selections to make? One UK base just in case then the rest Eastern European? or is the best thing to put purely non-UK bases?
In addition to this I'm finding it difficult to find out what the current exact TR costs/ initial contract pay is if anyone could shed some light on this?
Thanks

CEA Ryanair
Afternoon All
I have sent an application to Ryanair through the CEA website and I haven't had anything to say that it has been submitted and I am unable to edit my hours or when the last time I flow was.
Does anyone know if I should of had confirmation that it was submitted and how I can edit it or who I contact about it. I have tried the email on the Portal but had no response.
Thanks

Hi there Pilots,
What about loogbooks? Are they looking for faults? Update a loogbook sometimes can be a real head ache. Dates missing, instructor signatures missing....etc.
Any information apreciated.
Regards

Thanks for the answers guys! I have been unlucky to get 74 in 5 subjects, but at flying I'm way better, got a first time in CPL/IR....Also I think what will help me on the other hand is that I have some experience in the Flight Ops...as this is my current job, as long as they call me for the interview I will be happy so I can show them what I'm made of in the sim. Fingers Crossed!

In relation to what RYR is looking from people, especially in regards to atpls, I know of people that have had some fails and still got accepted, but I think they are looking at overall picture.
The reason behind this, is to see if you will be able to go trough the type rating.
Ryanair 737 type rating aint easy at all, its a tought going that requires a lot of effort and discipline and the time frame they do it in, you have to be sharp to get along with it. There will be exams, tests, etc and you have to do extremely well. If you tought atpls were hard, think again. So I pretty much think this is on of the reasons behind their assessment filtering.

I'm just curious to what their 'limit' so to speak is? I'm assuming 6 or around that number would be acceptable? I'm clueless To what their filter would be.
Again, thank you.

FR1707
Hey guys,
I received the PASS email on the 27th of March and I'm going to start on the TR course FR1707 in East Midlands
I won't describe my interview and sim session, because I don't want to be misinterpreted or give your mind the opportunity to be biased
to take it to easy or too hard.
What can You say of a day in the Ryanair assessment building ? Everything was so relaxed and everyone really kind!
The questions to be expected are the same that you can find around the web, nothing more, nothing less...
Same thing for the sim session, look at 2/3 scenarios and give it your best shot, they will not try to trick you, which does not mean you won't get any problem...
For my preparation I used:
-PPrune
-ATPL books (Technical)
-Skyinstructor (Technical)
-The complete airline pilot interview work book (HR)
and then practice practice practice... write down your ideas and try ask yourself, WHY? WHY? WHY?
Be true, there is no need to boost them... they already have a big ego... and more than 11500 people working for them!
At last I would like to congratulate with those who didn't pass the assessment, for I am no better than them. You did a good job to get everything ready for the big day,
keep it up and the success will come!
