Hi all,
I'm a low hour cadet (225 hrs), just came out of school, and I'm considering RYR as a true alternative.
I would like that people who have taken the assesment/sim/interview, would give an estimate of the price they have paid for everything (assesment fee, housing, means of transport used), but just of the selection process.
TIA

oh dear. Love them or hate them probably the only airline in europe hiring and promoting right now. Guys can accept the terms and conditions or decline them.....probably the best thing to do given the cost. Their choice.
But, as an American is it fair to say by taking a job in europe you are ultimately stopping someone at the bottom of the ladder getting their first step in the job market here? Supply and demand?
Engage your brain my friend before calling people w-@?es

Assessment on the 18th of December in STN
Hi to all,
I've been invited to the assessment day by Ryanair on the 18th of December in Stansted.
Anyone else for that date? If yes, let me know and we can meet! It will be a lot easier if we know eachother before the sim!
I'm also going to Brugge (Belgium) for a sim preparation next monday and tuesday (7th and 8th) of december. That sim costs 85 euros an hour with the instructor included... Anyone intrested?
Hope to hear from someone else!!
Regards!
Allioth

According to irishpilot
Most of the guys with issues are guys who had experience elsewhere, and hence Ryanair do not want...jealousy is a bitch!
What are they jealous of - the fact you have to pay a specified accountant 3% of your gross salary per annum and a one off fee of 500 euro to set up your company,no sick pay, no permenant contract, no loss of licence, no holiday pay, no pension, no guarantee of hours per month, the dodgy tax affairs, pay for your own lpc/opc,the 33k this costs you,the fact your actions are having a direct effect on t&c across the industry,the fact your or mummy and daddys bank balance had as much to do with you getting the job as did your performance during your sim check,or the fact you had to pay for your sim check and interview
As for the experienced 737 pilots who have the misfortune to be unemployed right now, they are probably desperate for a job but dont for a minute fool yourself into thinking many of them are jealous of you
They maybe very annoyed about what is happening in the industry as a result of these pay to fly schemes that ryr and the rest offer but i doubt they are jealous.
Not 6 years ago my friend i got my first job flying a jet, i got paid from day one, i got put up in a hotel during my type rating,line training and for a month after my line training had finished to allow me time to find my own accomodation, i had a pension,private health care, loss of licence holiday pay, sick pay, and i didnt have to pay for my type rating.
I basically got everything you don't get.Now thats something worthy of jealousy
Be under no illusion irish pilot you employer thinks nothing of your worth, he sees you a someone who legally must sit in the right seat,and sees how recruiting you is a source of revenue nothing more. He doesnt rate your contribution as a pilot or believe in your worth, hence your terms and in my opinion you agreed with him when you signed the contract.He doesn't offer sick pay because he doesnt care if you fall ill, cant work, cant pay your mortgage,car loan etc. Many will feel sorry for your naivety, but very few are jealous.
To answer your question, no i wouldn't be at home sitting on my bum waiting for the next boom. I tend not to sit at home on my bum just because things are going wrong. There are other options. Before you tell me ryr are they only employer in a planet in a world of nearly 7 billion people, people don't.
Take care

blackred1443
Blackred1443 you make reference to "mummy and daddy" in your previous post with regard to paying for training etc. I know plenty of Ryanair guys that funded their training by themselves and were not reliant on "mummy and daddy". They did that to help and enhance their careers. A lot of them are now both sfi's and captains. Yes they don't have sick pay, yes they don't have pensions, yes they don't have holiday pay.
But what do they have?
Well they have have lot of hours on the 737, they are paid very well( a hell of a lot more than me! and I have pension, sick pay, and holidays), and they all genuinely enjoy what they do and really enjoy working for Ryanair. And if all goes tits up with Ryanair they will f
k off out to the far east because they have loads of Jar 25 time. The point is they wont be sitting here in 3 or 4 years time still waiting for something to happen renewing their MEIR;s.Various points you bring up are just not true! E.G. previous quote from Blackred--- Ryanair interview/simulator assessment- £1000. You were in fact £740 out.
