Yes followed 4 week later by this one:
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your “recent” application for a position on the Boeing 737-800 (Ryanair) type-rating program.
Your application has been reviewed, however, we regret to inform you that your application will not proceed to the next stage in the selection process.
Due to the number of applications received for this program it is not possible for the airline (or CAE) to provide additional feedback regarding your application.
Really disappointed to have received the following message. 14 years of experience in aeronautics as aircraft engineer, flights dispatcher (Ryanair flight) and B737 non type rated Simulator Instructor is not enough for us. I thought that my experience could have been a plus. But they prefer to judged first my age. Yes I'm only 38 years! I can still fly for the next 27 years.
Good luck!

You should receive an email like: yes or no for the next step. I think with 2000H flying, the answer will be positive.
I have less flight times. Which upset me, is the fact that I prepare pilots for the simulator assessement such as Ryanair, Norwegian and Emirate in addition to my job as Flights Dispatcher.
Once again Good luck!

Hello guys,
Anyone on the intro week 23th April in EMA? It would be a good idea to share information about how the process looks like from now. Feel free to contact me.
On the other hand, I would like to share my experience on the assessment day:
- From initial application to call, 1 month, then assessment 3 weeks later
- Accommodation: I recommend the Travelodge Dublin Airport North Swords, it is just 5 min walking form RYR HQ and it has a shuttle bus service from / to Dublin airport.
- Sim assessment: Nothing to add, everything is on this forum. We used Navtech charts and EMA rwy 27
- Technical and HR interview: It was a relaxed interview and straight forward, (nothing new in fact) and there is a lot of information on this forum to prepare both.
- In my opinion preparation is a key factor, for both the interview and sim assessment, where is really important to learn all the profiles and procedures from the briefing pack.
Thank you and good luck.

This isn't the most quiet I've seen this forum in years! 3 days without a post. Out of interest; anyone here been called back after a first time fail of the assessment and within what timescale? It's a lottery down there in Dublin but wouldn't mind another crack.

I've heard simtech are good but can say myself as i didnt go there. I went to uPilot and Simcheck. Now both of them are very good but it depends on how confident you are and how much time in advance you're going in Dublin. I went 4 days in advance, first went to uPilot, very good Sim (identical to RYR's) and also very good instructor + it's VERY CHEAP compered to everyone else. His sim can be booked by the hour if i'm not mistaken. Then i went to Simcheck, I opted for the full thing which apart from sim training they also offer you help in the interview part so if you're a bit uncofident, afraid or not good at "selling your self" like me I think it really would help, at least it did for me. Even the guy can teach you how to answer difficult questions like "why should we hire you?" "What are some bad things about you?"
Good luck

Hi guys, here my experience:
- Application sent mid december
-Email and call mid Jan.
- Assessment few weeks ago
- The day after i've got the answer
HR questions, as usual, Talk about yourself, Why have you chosen your Flight school, Have you attended other interviews.
Techincal: Stall, APU, static discharger, pitot probe and general questions about the 1st a/c that i have flown
What i can say about the simulator is: You both should have the same "level" otherwise it's really difficoult to pass that assesment.
I had a 10hrs experience on the 737 sim, but my collegue has had no experience, so it has been almost impossible for me to keep him inside the "loop".
Although i had a perfect HR and technical interview, i have been unsuccessful.
Cheers

I would definitely recommend U-Pilot, the instructor is excellent, he will teach you the exact profile and procedures that ryanair will ask you in the assessment, and he also sends you some excellent study material when you book your slot, couldn’t recommend him enough.

Does any1 know if you can match into sim pair on yourself or is the assesor deciding? I would like to apply and do sim assesment with my friend which whom I will be doing MCC course and hoping to do B737 sim session in Dublin. Thanks in advance, Cheers!
