Hi Everyone,
@RMY & @ propelah thank you for taking the time to post your experience of your Ryanair interviews. Can I ask you both if you can remember the strength of the wind they used for the simulator detail and how far off it was ?
Did you use any interview preparation packages from latestpilotjobs/flightdeckfriend and if so were they accurate to the questions you got ?
Can I please ask people who are on interview this week to post the type of questions they had regarding technical side as they seem to be mixing it up a little.

It may depend on the assessor, but I dont think you will get more.
Ceiling was 700AGL
I attended interview last week in Dublin, and received positive answer today!
Everything at the interview was as expected. No tricks etc.

Guys, I applied via CAE a year ago and never heard back from them despite updating my data and (of course) meeting all the formal requirements. Does it make sense to withdraw the application and re-apply? Has this worked out for anybody? Has anybody been contacted swiftly after such a re-application?

Those who have had a telephone interview - would you say they are only interested in:
First time passes on the
- ME/IR and
- all 14 ATPLs?
Are they allowing partial's / fails on the CPL and one or two resits on ATPLs..?

Hello,
I applied through CAE, did the interview in STN on the 30th Oct 2014 and I got the positive answer 2 days ago via email from McGinley Aviation.
However, differently from some friends of mine who got through few days before me, I haven't received any date for the beginning of the TR course yet.
The reason for this, as explained in the e-mail, is because all courses planned up to March 2015 are fully booked and RYR is working with CAE in estabilishing the new set of course dates. I can expect to receive course dates in the next couple of weeks.
I crosschecked with my simulator partner and he got the same e-mail.

Hi all,
Had the assessment yesterday no tricks they really try to calm your nerves didn't work for me.
I was first in the simulator Dublin was the choice of the day RW28 cloud base 700ft wind 310/10. Both me and my sim buddy got non standard departures to 5000ft levelled off and some GH. Position fix using NDB then intercept and track inbound. Fire in the gally for both of us with vectors to the ILS and the GS & LOC failed on once localizer established.
Interview HR:-
Tell me about Ryanair? (Interrupted during answer told to fast forward to present day)
Why Ryanair?
Why did you choose your flight school?
How much have you spent on training?
Have you got any debt?
How are you going to pay for TR?
Did you like your instructors?
Have you had a student who you did not get on with? (I'm a Instructor)
Why have you not done a JOC? (Finished my training in 2010)
Do you have a girlfriend/wife/kids?
Pick 3 bases.
Tech Interview:-
Explain how a ASI works?
Explain how a Altimeter works?
Then was asked about errors with theses regarding blockages while climbing and descending?
Explain Dynamic Pressure?
Explain a pitot tube?
Explain TAS/IAS what happens when you climb and why?
Weather associated with thunderstorms including CB formation?
Why do you avoid them?
Last MEP you flown?
Explain the Hydraulic System?
Explain the Electrical System?
Does it have a critical engine? Explain why?
That's the nitty gritty part of the day everyone wants to know but here is a little insight to how I felt the day went and any feedback from people who got the job and people who didn't would be nice.
I feel I will get a negative response! I was a little nervous, prepared on flight sim as much as possible unfortunately I couldn't afford £250ph + Instructor cost for sim prep along with the other costs. so I never been in a jet sim, never flew one, did my MCC 4 years ago on a steam driven king air.Word of advice if you didn't do your MCC on a jet, never flown one in a sim get some time in one if money permits. My sim partner had recently done his MCC/JOC at simtech in the sim we used on the day and had done the Ryanair assessment prep they offer the day before in the sim and it really showed and he only had minimum hours compared to my 1900TT.
In the sim itself very fast ! I was PM first, I feel that this part for me was excellent and I supported the PF 110% radio work very good very quick to pick up errors and as a team and correct them. I think its from years of teaching flying that my PM skills are good, it couldn't of gone better. Now my turn for PF, to begin with I flew it like I stolen it lol took a while to settle in. I feel that my sim partner could of been a lot more supportive in his PM role and I missed a couple of calls ! but if it helped any I nailed the ILS. As for pilot briefings ect my sim partners was excellent , god it was like he flew for BA with all his emergency briefings what we do at different speeds on RW sounded awesome I think I got everything in but was not so slick and fancy. Also at the end of my interview we shuck hands and they 'wished me well in my future career' I took it as thanks but no thanks.
I wonder in the part where they decide who gets it and who don't how much they take into account your flight school report and references and if you passed everything first time? Could it be a tipping point to if you get the job or not if your performance was not brilliant on the day but shown potential and you had outstanding reports and references.???
Suppose I will find out soon enough...................................
