Hi
I start as SAS in early Nov.
I didnt go to the open day..i sent my cv to CAE ages ago and got a call from Ryanair about 2 months ago. Went to the assesment in July and found out the next day i had been sucessful.
As for calling them to find out what did they say at the open day??? If they said they would contact you then let them do that. If they didnt say anything maybe a light reminder by phone that your still interested might help..Good luck whatever u do

hey PB4 - any news from these guys? I'm already out of nails, bitten all'em...
starting to wonder if I should put a nice call asking if... (well, that's the prob, what to ask: "hey guys, you were gonna call me?")
anyway, just wanted to know if you were still in this situation... and if anyone else is...
(I saw there is a new open day in november, so I assumme they should call us before starting the calls to convene for that open day...)
thanks guys!

Belfast RYR Basing
How does FR pay compared to EI ? From the EI website, the pay for pilots of the (potential) new Belfast base is given below so it should be easy for any RYR pilot to compare and give us an update. What would a Point 1 FO for RYR earn ?
****FO****Captain
1 £40,000 £76,000
2 £41,200 £78,280
3 £42,400 £80,560
4 £43,600 £82,840
5 £44,800 £85,120
6 £46,000 £87,400
7 £47,200 £89,680
8 £48,400 £91,960
9 £49,600 £94,240
10 £50,800 £96,520
£8,300 Avg Annual Sector Pay

Hours
I would be very surprised if you only did 400 hours a year with FR !!! From what i hear you will easily make your 900 a year no problems. As for command though i think that is a min of 3 years.
Correct me if im wrong

My God I feel sorry for you guys. I know what it's like at the start, FR are a bunch of money grabbing pikeys.
Earning less than a grand a month when you finally start, with huge loans, and starting.. well I sat a home for 4 months after my type rating waiting for a phone call. If you're not hearing anything call or email them, they'll forget about you otherwise, don't be scared of calling them for goodness sake!
View it as a step on the ladder to move on else where. I got my command with them in 3 years but there is an overdose of new F/O's at the mo and deliveries have been temporarily culled by order of the IAA, so things may be slow for a while. That said new bases are opening frequently. You will however still fly no less than 750hrs/yr, and you'll be better off financially from day one on a brookfield contract (no benefits in FR anyway..)
Have respect for the Captains that train you and enjoy your 3 or 4 years, because after that, trust me you'll want to move on.

Just phone or email them if you're still waiting. They're not sitting there ready with pen in hand to strike you off the list just for making a phone call... Why is everyone so tentative when it comes to Ryanair? Just remember they need you too, otherwise you wouldn't have done the assessment!!!!!

I got the good news and start at CAE in Nov. Anyone else starting then?
I applied in Aug. Went to the open day in Sep. Received a call for an assessment two weeks later and heard that I was accepted within a few days after that. I am lucky as it all happened very quickly.
Best of luck to all those waiting

Italo83,
If you did the Ryanair MCC course, the final session was, in effect your sim assessment. You should only have the personal/technical interview at EMA now.
Congrats so far, and good luck for the rest!
