Piosee same as you, irish trained in 13months,finished 5 months
ago and heard those exact same things from someone inside who I keep in touch with regularly. And in fact having a contact doesn't help at all,if your Irish, well there's no hope.. best of luck with the job hunt.

It's all starting to make sense now.
Although it would seem that their business model is predicated on a steady throughput of guys who will leave after 4-5 years and go and work for Qatar/Emirates/Etihad etc.
Good luck to all those 21-27 year old guys who are about to start working for RYR in their careers with the middle eastern or far eastern airline that they will be working for when they've got the minimum requirements!

Has any of you been called for the asessment despite of having less than a 88% of average score in the exams?
Rumours says that is required that minimum score in order to be called.
Thank You

RE Hungarians
We have a few Hungarians(2 or 3) working for RYR. The problem is that a Hungarian license is not JAA approved. The Hungarian authority keeps failing audits allegedly so its not a 'pilot' issue. A Hungarian license holder requires a validation from the IAA. This is based on experience etc so it would not be issued for low time pilots. The recent Malev collapse has provided RYR with a number of DEC pilots again all will be validations. If you are a DEC the a validation is no problem regardless of nationality every one else IE low time must enter through the cadet scheme and that requires a JAA license. Hope this answers your query !

Piosee and Eirjet,
can I suggest you write to the Irish Times and outline what you surmise is going on regarding Irish people wishing to work for Ryanair.
You might be surprised at the response you get.

Any Irish person who feels discriminated against by Ryanair should email the Minister for Transport, Dr. Leo Varadkar at the Department of Transport outlining what appears to be happening - Ryanair's unofficial recruitment ban on Irish pilots.

Hi adamlt
the phone call is very straight forward...
Basically about your CPL, IR training... if first time pass , first series ecc...
ATPL fails..
where have you studied..
why for example 350 hrs? instruction? ecc
____________________________________________________________ __
just had my interview... extremely nice ppl...was impressed!
interview easy... mostly abt myself and slightly technical... all questions found here in this forum...
Found the sim a bit hard until I got the hang of it... (first timer on such a sim)
Steep turn, shallow turns, ILS and that was it...
Did some minor mistakes but i think was within limits...
I strictly recommend some prior flying experience... to get the feel of the aircraft. The other guy had experience and he was spot on on most occasions...
I hope the assessor keeps that in mind... anyway fingers crossed and goodluck to all the rest

Time from application to the first contact
Hi there,
Does anyone know or have experience of it, how long it normally takes from when you send in your application to CAE until you normally get the first contact?
What I have heard they should first send you an email with further information.
Sincerely

Interesting news from a friend working in the training department. Ryanair are ending cadet hire from the start of the winter season due to no further expansion opportunities being anticipated!! Word on the street is a further 60 aircraft to be grounded, making a total of 150 for winter 2012/13. TRs still to be offered with a base check and line training but no contract. You heard it hear first.....

April Fool
However what are you willing to bet that it won't happen? The airline is no longer expanding and when growth in the Middle East dries up then where will all the 2500-3000hr FOs and newly promoted skippers go to?
However If it does I still can't see there being a shortage in applicants.
......back to the important stuff. Who's going to the assessment on the 15th April?
