Working for an Irish Airline

Is there anybody out there who is / has worked for an Irish Airline such as RYR?
Did you have any difficulties at interview stage or with your CV.

I am not asking about issues with other flight deck crew.

Any guidance would be gratefully received.

Last Irish pilot I spoke to was still in shock after landing at Heathrow.

He could believe how short the runways were...

He said they were the widest he'd ever seen though...


Coat, door, gone.

Michael O'Leary traditionally doesn't like the British military. Although he has employed one or two ex-RAF, they don't have an easy time getting in (pun intended!). Air Lingus don't have a problem as far as I know, don't know about the rest.

Anyway, refer to the thread currntly in Ts and Cs. Don't work for RYR!

Dear Dan
Thank you for that. I am an ex-pongo and I have been thinking about doing an MCC with Parc as they do advise on selection for RYR.
However I had a thought on if there would be a discriminatory attitude due to my efforts in keeping the drug dealers and the religious zealots apart.

With regard to ts & Cs when I was serving we got charged for food and accom, the personal equipment was poor and so we bought our own. The fines were high, the wages average and the promotion was due to service and if your face fitted.

RYR - no uniform, so I can buy something that isn't nylon, I already pay for my own food and parking. At least they pay for fuel and the equipment.

At the moment I am self employed, all the proper money I earn goes back to the government at 40% plus corporation tax, VAT, staff NIC etc.
Life is one big tax.

If it is MOL or G.Brown they are all thieves, keep your head up and remember that they cannot make you pregnant.

I'm ex RAF, my Base Captain is ex Army: I have friends elsewhere with FR who are also ex RAF and Army and Navy. Not only is " getting in" straightforward ( read down to earth, practical and no b*llsh1t lego building) it's all jolly pleasant once you are in.
