Hi All,

I am booked onto the Assessment on 3rd November in Dublin.

I booked a sim refresher with Simtech the night before 2/11 from 6-8pm. I received an email from Simtech saying that another person is booked 8-10pm.

I believe the plan is that we are going to be PM for each others session. If this is you that has booked the 8-10pm session, send me a PM and we can make contact before next week.

Question Ryanair ATPL requirements

Does anyone know the ATPL exam requirements for Ryanair?

At BA I think you need atleast 85% and no more than 3 fails,
At Easyjet I think you need 90% and no fails?

If any of the above is not true please correct me, it would be interesting to know if Ryanair have a certain level of criteria for the employment of cadets.

I am shocked BA would accept 3 fails!!
Djknight93, just out of curiosity around how much is a 2hr SIM with Simtech these days?

If anyone is in the type rating course "CAE1418" starting March 9th 2015, they are welcome to join the Facebook group I created.

If you want an invite, send me a PM here with your facebook account name, and I will add you.

Just for getting together about accommodations, training, etc

Hello everyone First time on here


I have a assessment on the 12th November in Dublin, would someone who has recently attended the Dublin assessment be kind enough to forward me the Ryanair briefing pack ? They will not send it to you until Friday/Saturday before the assessment day.A friend has kindly given me his, he has been with Ryanair a few years and its dated 29/09/2009 and it would be nice to get a updated version to get ahead of the game.


I was looking at the interview preparation online 2 companies seem to offer it, latest pilot jobs and flight deck friend any feedback on which is the best to purchase would be awesome !!


Another BIG ask can the guys/girls who have attended the Dublin assessment in the past couple of months be kind enough to give some feedback on the Tech questions asked.


Had my Telephone interview today, very relaxed asked me for the expire dates of my medical (any restrictions on it)& ME/IR , have I completed MCC, do I have my licence and what is it JAR/EASA, Did I pass all my exams first time and what was my average, did I pass my CPL&IR first time, my TT, date of last flight and date of last sim session. After that the lady read a paragraph to me twice and asked me 3 questions about it can't remember exact words but it was about a fire (un-contained) on board a a/c and how deadly the smoke/fumes are. The questions were 1,was the fire contained or un-contained 2,what is the most dangerous thing about the fire 3, what would cause the most harm to people. please be aware this is not the exact wording.


If someone is kind enough to forward a briefing pack please message me on he for private email.




Male 32 English
1900hrs TT mostly SEP
First Time passes in ATPL Exams 92% Average
First Times Passes in CPL/IR

Hello!

Nice to hear that so many are getting through to the assessments!

I finished my MCC one weak ago and applied to RA on wednesday 22/10.
Today they contacted me by email saying they wanted my CV and also to answer some questions.

They also said that it is important that i have my certificates(got my CPL/ME/IR this summer) and that I have completed the MCC, do anyone know if I have to wait for my new license to arrive(including the MCC) or if it is enough with a "MCC diploma" from my flightschool?

Im 23 years old
160h TT
95% average first pass on ATPL

It states clearly that you need to have your licences issued, they will also confirm this on the phone.

To those waiting, they employ a mixed group, from 30yr+ instructors with 1000 hours to fresh cadets with min hours, all nationalities (maybe not irish). There are no answers to be found in what hours everyone has and where they went to school. I felt exactly the same way as you all do, but from what i can gather you either hear or you don't. The question is, what can you do to improve your chance of an application with your name on it being selected?

They need 600 pilots, they are expanding and they seem pretty keen on getting new cadets on board.

Keep going

Hey @elmore81, where do you get your figure of 600 pilots? Is that per year or over the next few years?? Also you have obviously heard something regarding the non hiring of Irish pilots? Regards SAR

I saw an internal email via a friend

I haven't heard anything apart from what i see on here, i was speaking to an irish guy who swears that they won't take on irish guys, but unless someone tells you that from HR its all hear say.

I remember not so long ago that everyone was saying that ryr wouldn't hire 30+ yr olds, but thats clearly not true either.

Yeah very true elmore81, think there opinion on 30+ has changed altogether, seems plenty of guys even up to mid 30s are now being hired. However the Irish thing still seems to crop up, what a shame considering it is an Irish Airline.

Dear all,

excuse me to disturb you in your conversation,


as per the requirements to apply we must hold valid JAR or CPL, ATPL, IR, MCC...
But can I apply if I have all of these licences but issued in the US ?


Thanks!
Good look all for your interviews
