I disagree with MetalGear: it doesn't seem fair to me...
Elena:
First, as a general principle, it's personal information about you, that the authority holds; you should be able to access it. What you do with it once it's in your hands is another matter.
Second, the recruitment agency, not the authority, has been engaged to do the recruitment, and they will be the judge of the metrics they (and their client, the airline) wish to apply; whilst it may have developed a corporate opinion, the authority is not 'competent' in that regard.
Third, it's already common practice, so unless the authority stops doing anything other than issuing or refusing to issue a licence at the very final stage (i.e., as long as it creates and maintains detailed paperwork about passes and failures, and grades etc) that element of the argument holds no water.
Finally, there are those who ace the exams and tests and those who struggle to get through them. Often, those who struggle at that stage, will also struggle or fail at others. They present a poor risk to the recruiter and employer. Sorry to those who feel this fits them, but it's true.
I'd go back to the authority and ask who wrote that reply and what the justification for it is. It just doesn't hold water.
Was it the UK CAA? PM me if you prefer...
(I should add, as fair disclosure, that I do some recruiting work, though not for the airline under discussion here).

hello all! I am new to the forum as a poster but have been reading along for a while now. I have heard from a study mate who was already 737 rated but after succesful interview with ryanair they asked to do the rating again, is this true?

Hi!
I got a confirmation e-mail about a briefing week in EMA starting 11/09 but still waiting for more news.
The TR in AMS would start around the beginning of October so who knows, we'll see each other there! ;-)
Kind regs & congrats!

Yes, one of my old flightschool class mates who did a 737 TR after flightschool was also offered a job at Ryanair, but had to start all over again...

I received the same email on Friday, the 28th and another email from CAE saying that my application is not complete. Can anybody explain if i have to send ATPL results from the academy or from the CAA? What kind of document is CPL result and MEIR result? Is it a scan of the skill test record? Why isn't the license enough?

Thanks for the info man. I got latestpilotinterviews questions, but there are many questions, about General Navgation chapters, do they really ask about that in the asssessment? I find it silly!
Regards.

Don't worry, when I did my assessment, my only question about G Nav was: Is it faster to fly from JFK to CDG or from CDG to JFK...?
they are not looking for details

Hi all,
I've looked through the last 100 pages and can't find the answer, apologies if this has been answered before. Does anyone know whether you can re-apply if you fail the assessment? If so do you have to wait for example 6 months?

Radio Star. I have done it recently and is pretty easy, in my case I entered as always and then chose the RYA course. After that at the end of the page appeared the situation of your application and the word edit in blue, selected that and changed what I needed (including flight hours)

Yes, you need to upload a copy of the official CPL and ME-IR results (as filled in by the examinator who toke your exam/skill test). For ATPL results you need to upload a copy of your official results, your school and you must have received this from the official theory exam authority back in the day. Good luck!
However in Romania the examiner completes a skill test form, I should ask also a copy at the Authority.
RYR asked me for the results I had immediately after finishing the ATPL Frozen integrated programme. They are not interested in revalidation results.
MetalGear and B737C525, I wasn't asking about fairness. It's not fair to wait for papers for a month
. My opinion is that every pilot should send real information in order to be safe for the entire community. However it is good that everybody knows what kind of papers they should send when they don't know. When I don't understand or I don't know something I ask...

Interview databases
Hello,
I wanted to ask if anybody tried any interview database?
For example:
Latest pilot jobs
https://www.latestpilotjobs.com/inte...d%20Assessment
or
Flight deck friend
https://www.flightdeckfriend.com/air...terview-guide/
Has anybody tried them and could say whether they is useful or not?

https://youtu.be/xdY0CMVfMxs (info about bonding)
It appears that the bonding is only applicable to those who do the APC MCC+JOC via Ryanair. Not for those who did a MCC(+JOC) elsewhere and apply for the 'normal' route. Am I correct?

I am in an APC course and ~ 70% of the people in my course already had an MCC before.
