Hey does anyone know what is going on at Cae right now?
They seem a little confused, during the last week they are calling people for the assesment 3 days before the assessment itself. (my friend was called on the 17th for the 21th)
is it the first time they do such a thing?
I've actually been contacted by them at the end of july and they made me choose my assessment between a number of dates in september, not confirmed yet.
should I worry????

Strange Totol I thought that the Ndb approach was for experienced pilots only (1500hrs or something) who would like to join ryanair.
Ndb appraoch on B737-200, it's quite difficult. I made 2 or 3 during mcc it's something much more difficult than an ils even on 1 engine.
I think i would sweat like hell...

CAE or SAS
Hello everybody
Just wondering who got in touch with one of them (cae or sas) again after filling the application form. Did you call them on your own initiative or did they do it? After how long? Websites ask not to make make phone enquires, obviously, but I believe it's always worth to do it. Any names?
Wish you good luck, although SSTR is not the way we are supposed to go..

You are HIGHLY unlikely to ever get an assessment with ryanair (low-hours) unless you have a recommendation from someone internally, usually a training captain.
The exception to this rule is those guys that complerte their MCC at CAE, SAS and additonally it seems from Parc aviation.

My question was about their approved TRTO getting in touch with suitable candidates, not Ryanair itself.
However this is what FR's website states today:
Pilot recruitment update
Our First Officer training courses for 2006 are now fully subscribed. Our next First Officer training courses will commence in April 2007. We are currently inviting applications from 737 type rated First Officers looking to commence training courses from April 2007 onwards.
We have just 25 places left on courses for Captains this year. If you are interested in applying as a Captain please forward your CV to [email protected] Applications are dealt with on a first come, first served basis. Type rating on the 737-800 is a decided advantage.Courses for cadets will commence in January 2007 at Ryanair approved schools. Applications should be made directly to the schools.
Surely there are more chances you are right than the website being fair to everyone but I just need to know if it works just in one way (TRI recs), the other (TRTOs) or both...a friend of mine was hired with loads of SPA/TP hrs but it is hard to say he knew anyone since he didn't live in IRL or UK.
Still looking for news, still thinking this is not the way it should be.Wish you good look.

Does anybody have a more cheerful experience of Ryanair?
I am in the same position as so many other people having just finished all my training, and am now scouring the industry for those elusive first opportunities.
Ryan sounds like one of the best options out there to be honest, or at least, one of the most accessible starting points to get jet hours, and a rating.
Is it really all doom and gloom with Ryan?

I guess the bad news spreads faster than the good news + there won't be too many happy pilots spending their time on forums writing how good it is...right?
Fact is that the gate has closed for the moment for low hour - no jet experienced pilots until 2007 so I hope I will never be able to tell.

Ryanair website: "We will be holding Pilot Recruitment Days in Brussels on the 8th and 9th of September in the Sheraton Hotel, Brussels Zaventem Airport."
Funny that, how they recruit from Zaventem

to all those currently training with ryanair can I ask what is the easiest way to apply. I am about to finish my mcc. Is it through parc or you are better off going through ryanairs website. I know a lot of people currently going through it and they cant wait to finish thier 12 months and bail out. So this endless cycle is going to go on for a while.

Does anybody know good options to prepare yourself for the sim assessment?
As a cadet pilot I have never flown a 737 before. I was thinking of contacting CAE but I also heard people who did prepare themselves at East Midlands.

aaspangenberg: Talk to CAE since it's almost next door for you. Pay for a session, but you will need a partner. Secondly, get the CBT but most importanly the PMDG 737NG version for Microsoft FS...That should get you started.

How about 5 on, 5 off. 7000 Euros per month (tax free if you have the balls), and fly brand new aircraft. That's the upside of things...anyway for the rest read the: Ryanair - A Guide for Prospective Pilot Employees

RYR-738-JOCKEY - Do you know if cadets are able to get a Dublin base by going on the Brookfield contract? I heard that in times gone by there were promises of a Dublin base after time served at one of the outposts but these were very rarely ever fulfilled and there were a number of people hanging onto pipe dreams.

All I know is that nearly ALL of the BRK cadets are being sent to DUB now, so if you're in the system, DUB is absolutely achievable...
Forgot to mention...: They don't want any "permanents" up there, only contractors, and that's maybe why people hear it's difficult to get DUB-base.

RYR...How long before those figures become reality? And how much do you REALLY need to fork out? Not trying to take the p...s out of you but the new joiners seem pretty disappointed with FR and some seniors agree...

let's get it straight
the new guys aren't disappointed, a few might be and they're the only ones who post. you've got to remember that pprune is an internet forum, and like all other internet forum people generally only post when they're pissed off with something. it's like the old business idea- if someone's happy with an experience they're likely to tell 1 person, id they had a bad experience they're likely to tell 5. the total cost is around 19000GBP and on top of that there's accommodation and travel expenses. the pay starts off relatively poor. you can expect to earn a total of 18-19000GBP for the first year, and that starts from the base check (so no pay during the training). ryanair are now offering bond packages to more experienced pilots that aren't type rated, bonding for 5 years. with new more efficient middle management employed, gone are the days of waiting months for base checks and line training. pilots are online a couple of weeks after completing their base check. ryanair took alot of abuse in the past and possibly rightly so. it now seems that they've started addressing these issues. there's always going to be pilots annoyed and frustrated with the company they work for, that's life.
to answer the other questions that are popping up that i also wanted answered before i started:
papazulu - the wait can be any amount of time before you're contacted, especially now they've decided to stop interviewing cadets. it seems to be around six months, although they will now have a backlog building up. it will, like any other HR department, be expedited if you contact them or even better if you know someone
738-jockey couldn't be more right. get in the sim, i would suggest parc aviation in dublin, a guy called adrian, he's very good at getting you trained for the sim check. get the boeing CBT, you'll soon realise it's got more holes in it than bush's brain after a week of your TR groundschool, but it's a good start. then definitely get the PMDG for flight sim, it's an add on that has an extremely accurate 738 cockpit- although not the winglet ryanair aircraft, (and also no aft overhead panel that i could find?- anyone any help on that?)
good luck to you all, Bbear
