I bet next they favour experienced FO's with few thousand hours on type in preference of cadets, who after all are vastly superior. After all, Bose , Ray Ban need more cadets to buy their shiny stuff.

RE: Online CUT-E Assessment
Hi,
Could someone who has recently partaken in the Ryanair Cadet Online Cut-E Assessment please answer the following:
How many video interview questions were you presented with?
What were the questions (technical/personal)
Furthermore, in relation to the ATPL questions, can you advise which subjects the questions were primarily based on. It's a mammoth task going through every subject but I suspect the questions may be repetitive and centred around certain subjects....
Thank you,

Hi,
For the video interview you have 3 questions with only 1minute prep if not less and they are basic interview questions but what is a little bit difficult is that you only have one attempt when recording. The questions change from one candidate to another as my friend did not have the same as I did.
For ATPL questions I would say it is general subjects so try to review ATPL questions you trained during your training. You will have 30 questions in 10 minutes.
You can train with latest pilot interview prep it s a good package for this kind of assessment.

Online CUT-E Assessment
Good-evening Youyoufly,
Thank you for your swift response. I have obtained another ATPL question bank to skim through questions. Based on your advice, I'm going to do a dozen-odd practice rounds of 1 minute interview responses directed towards a camera, to try and compose orderly responses consistently. That, I feel, should be sufficient alongside all the prep for the Cut-E aptitude tests.
Thanks once again,

I passed successfully 2 weeks ago the online test with AFA, I can say that ATPL questions are really random and it is very very difficult to reach 75%, I think I answered correctly more or less 15 questions and it was fine... the goal, I think, is to go trough all questions and don’t be stuck on first questions... LatestPilotJob is a good tool to train!
As far as video questions are concerned, I had exactly:
What is the most important aspect to be a pilot and why?
Discuss what you liked/disliked during your flight training?
What are your main career goals?
My friend got the same questions the day after (25th March)
You have 20s to prepare and 1 min recording. Only one attempt per question ! You can stop recording after a minimum of 15s.
The cognitive tests are very similar to those on LatestPilotJob, except for matrice deductive logic which is wayyyy more complicated than LPJ!
Good luck

Thanks for your good wishes and detailed response. I thought I'd reply once I know the outcome of the online assessment which I've now received. I was successful!
The ATPL questions were fairly straight forward, a quick recap using a question bank should be enough to refresh ones memory. There were no calculation questions, at least not for me.
The video interview questions were also fairly simple:
Why a pilot?
Tell us some about some of your interests..
Why RYR
(It helps to prepare the answers before hand and I cannot emphasise enough how useful it is to practice 1 minute responses in-front of a camera. The minute flies by so it's wise to get in some practice to grasp how refined your responses need to be to stay within the time limit)
Aptitude tests are are they appear on the CUT-E preparation sites (I used pilotest.com), nothing unexpected. Just practice practice practice...
Good-luck to anyone with a forthcoming assessment.

Lady’s and Gents, first time poster with a question that maybe someone can give their two cents on.
If a fATPL holder came off a Ryanair mentored program how would they do against a 2/3/4000 hour FO..?
The FO has the experience and is the clear favorite, but at the same time am I right in saying FR would have to take cadets from the mentored program otherwise what’s the point in having the program in the first place.
Personally I’m in a position to come off the program and sit in a holding pool, but when things start to move in the industry 1/2/3 years time who would be in a better position..??
Take care and stay safe, J

Ryanair don’t ‘have’ to take anyone from anywhere and will always do whatever suits them at the time.
For the past five years or so, Direct entry FO and cadet recruitment were both running continuously through different processes. A main difference was the experienced FO could agree a base before joining and usually get the contract they wanted, which would obviously show a preference to experienced pilots.
After this who knows which way they’ll go!
