If you have more accurate and up to date information to add to what I have already posted by all means share it so that you can set the record straight.

Lucky you to be able to „gamble 30k€” where if you do it with a little of planning itd not much less than the complete cost of 0-ATPL training. The guys are just trying to warn people. Just think about it, nów much pilots they need if 2 years ago they were offering 20k€ for joining RYR if u were rated giving a bond for those who were not. I myself have a lot of friends in RYR flying there for years now on unpaid leave.

its all find as long as u are rich guy from Home riaking nothing. But many people are so blinded and naive to Try to take loans just to sign in for the training.

Sorry I didn't necessarily mean yourself but anyway it's things people have claimed e.g.:
-Little to no hours over winter, contract potentially in April
- employment subject to individual performance (no sick days)
- will be on zero hours with a ryr contractor
- cadets sign contact on day 1 and are unable to see before paying full TR fee.

I know this isn't true because I know people currently on this scheme and what they've told/showed me was confirmed by someone working for the company on social media over the weekend which is there for all to see.

Not me personally sir but I agree and all for making people aware//warning them of things but its got to be balance IMO, something a few on here aren't accepting.

Sadly yeah I agree that this scheme is for a select few as mentioned previously which of course is wrong and it shouldn't be the case.

This industry is all about timing and like kitenation points out, simply, now is just not the time. Keep the day job, keep your ratings current, try to get flying when possible and times will get better. I fear those committing to this scheme aren’t giving their sponsors the full picture and living on past laurels. The past is NOT representative of the future just now, no airline I know of is short of crew based on demand well beyond 2022.

The future is still very much undecided so the worst position to be in would be to take out a loan for this course and get little to no flying done this year, which is very likely. You will finish inexperienced and may lack confidence if sat around for months/years until something happens. You are not employed by Ryr during line training so they WILL fly their guys first to keep them current. You will likely have to renew your own TR and god only knows if Ryr will take you back a few years down the line.

Guys/Girls, just wait it out and if a recovery actually happens then by all means weigh up the risks, but for now this whole scheme is just a money spinner.

I second this, that’s pretty much what needs to be said. The guys are struggling to keep current atm, but ryr won’t definitely say no to whoever queued to pay 30k to enter the draft to sit on a 737.

Please stop disseminating incorrect info on this thread. Not sure what your real agenda is but it's getting a bit ridicolous at this stage.

Attention all: Stop reading Contact Approach's false comments

Guys, quick question. I received the invitation for the online pre assessment. I'm training on latestpilotjobs, all the exercises are sort of good except the bloody moving dots, on hard level i can get right 1 or 2 out of 15, and it's just guessing. For me it's really impossibile to count them. Any one has some tips or tricks in order to deal with that specific exercise? Thanks a lot in advance!!!

He/She is clearly part of the Ryr team so take what they say with a pinch of salt.

The fact remains, now is not the time. Just wait.

Looks like the FAA certified the MAX 8 200 yesterday. No EASA yet.

When EASA certify the Max8 200, it changes the game. RyanAir are reported to have 210 on order. This gives them a real edge. They can dispose of most of their present fleet into a returning healthy market and possibly get more than they initially paid Boeing. 197 pax provides excellent opportunity's. They pay their crew primary less than their competitors which puts them at the front of the queue. They will need crew of course and one may suppose that a conveyor belt of new cadets is necessary to ensure they stay below of competition in terms of crew costs.

My view supports the need to get recruits. They aren't so stupid as to promise jobs at the completion of training but if the trainee is competent then i would expect a job with them would be a certainty.

Hi

Anyone knows how to solve the multitasking test? The lining up the airplane with the runway and solving the sums and deduct etc I get but what about the ''RREVX'' ''NQUAO'' ''MCRIBB'' I get them wrong every single time and don't seem to get the logic?

It's simple just when you see 2 characters same is correct when all the characters are different then is wrong. So "RREVX''- correct, ''NQUAO'' - wrong, ''MCRIBB"- correct. Hope it helps.

So RYR are still taking money for assessment for a job most won't be offered or even start til 2022 at the earliest. After they have bought back all the laid off pilots.

I should start a RYR Interview prep business.

unfortunately this offer is for low hour pilots coming out from school not for pilots with 1000's under their belt . I hope in the end those who were laid off by FR get their jobs back .
