Thanks.
For the guys already done the TR. Is there any recommended prep work I can do for the course you think it would be best for me to cover?
Thanks in advance.

Day Dreamer, can we not have more posts like yours in this place?
Maybe you can do the same for the CTC thread!

Go for your dream there will be little available jobs out there once the US and European layoffs take effect this winter, but RYR will still be in there expanding.

Well done Jason, don't cock it up!!!
Check out smartcockpit.com. The site is run by a Ryanair training captain so he knows his stuff about the 737NG.
The CBT in CAE is crap but the manuals supplied are thorough. Generally a question bank floating around so get one when you go to STO or AMS. Of the 2, apparently STO is the better facility. AMS is easier to get to from London area as obviously a lot closer.
Don't waste time getting accomodation sorted. If you drive to EMA and book in advance you can get really good deals at travelodge at EMA. I stayed for £15 per night last year booked on the net. Accomodation at CAE, if that is where you go is hard to get.
Check your PM, I'll give you a good address for CAE.
Otherwise make sure your IF skills are ok within reason, but don't get too excited about it. 2 crew operation on a jet is a whole new ballgame.

I was accepted to start at EMA in September and was told that it was going to be the last course until next year.
I did wonder if that was a tactic to get me to cough up and accept an earlier course than I would have liked, but seems to be backed up by what others are posting.

Any of you guys go to Ryanair as a direct entry FO (non 737 rated)?
I have got the 3000+ TT with 2000+ at an airline on a Regional Jet (but over here in the US). Just wondering if anyone has any experience with that and how it worked out for you?
(and yes I know about the 14 written exams to convert my ATPL to JAA - already working on it
)

We have recently been inundated with applications from pilots whose employers (such as Zoom,Futura and XL) have gone bust in the past few weeks. We are also receiving applications from pilots who fear that their airline may go bankrupt shortly.
Since we already have more than treble the applications we require for our possible future needs we have decided to impose a recruitment freeze with immediate effect (from 15th September) until further notice. This freeze will be reviewed again in early January 2009. Training courses already scheduled for October will be run as planned, however no further recruits will be added to these courses.
Delayed aircraft deliveries due to the Boeing strike and a close to zero pilot attrition rate in recent months means that we are currently overstaffed in our pilot/flight operations department.
Taken from Ryanair website, guess that answers my question

Well here is my story. I had my assessment in July. I was offered a training course. Yea for me! Well now I had a list of things to do...on my nickel. about 3000 quid worth. Finally got all the clerical prerequisites done. Then just found out training courses were cancelled indefinately. I hope Boeing ends this strike soon!
