@FingerFlyer,

Thanks for the answer! I'll try to sort something out and not worry too much...:rolleyes:

Anyone attending on the 16th at Stansted?

cheers

I have assessment 23rd August. prior preparation prevents piss poor performance...:) wish me luck

yes, bla, bla, bla, bla, and the next ones to come with the same old story are the ones of repa, balpa, etc

don't you guys realize that you are preaching to the people in need?

let me try to explain with a more colourful example: Imagine that us, 1st world country well feed fat bourgeois guys, go to senegal for example and try to convince and explain how bad is to eat meat from treated animals, or use pesticides, or transgenic vegetables (yeah, all that hippie bull****) to people which has some need in food, you know, not being able to go to tesco an buy a steak or some tomatoes, these people won't care about what you are saying, even if you are right, if you plant in front of them a nice big steak of a cloned cow with a side dish of tasty transgenic potatoes and tomatoes, they are going to say, oh no, thanks mister for showing me the truth, I well starve here sucking this tree root than eat that damaging food for the environment and our health.

I hope this helps to convince you to GTFO and leave the newbies try to figure out how to get selected without reading nonsense (true nonsense, but directed to the wrong audience). It's like when the annoying people of repa begins to post here every few post... don't they realize they are talking to people WITHOUT the job... yes, yes, the are informing everybody and bla bla bla, but this is not the place to be trolling around every ******* page of the thread. Please, at least you could space the same useless comments, I don't know, 5-6 pages?, not 5-6 posts, which is really annoying and destroys the purpose of the forum and the thread.

Well,

Assessment in the next couple of days. Just thought I'd try and get any latest info from any DEC non rated individuals on what they experienced on the day?

Cheers

Chill out Muten, join REPA

Muten.... Extremely well put! 👏👍

Muten,

Nice analogy but it's too extreme to be taken seriously. You misunderstand the reasons why experienced pilots are taking the time to inform you of conditions within Ryanair. Those guys at Ryanair are not dangling a nice juicy steak in front of you. It's a piece of poisoned donkey meat.

In any case you miss the key point:

Had I been thinking about a career in aviation during the worst recession in the aviation industry since the Wright Brothers first took to the air, I would have read these pages very carefully and weighed up the costs of training versus the likelihood of getting a job that could repay that expense and give me the career I dreamed of having BEFORE starting my training and putting myself in a position where I was metaphorically starving.

If comments from experienced pilots can open people's eyes to what's going on at Ryanair, then this IS the place to make those posts! If you want BS and optimistic lies about Ryanair, go to their corporate website.

Muten

Your analogy is absolute bullsh1t because you and you alone put yourself in this predicament. As Depone said, you invested in a licence during a prolongued recession. Comparing this to people in Senegal striving to live on a daily basis is ******* absurd. What choice do they have? They didn't choose this life. I'd urge you to give this example during your Ryanair interview.

The moderator of this forum, a guys with miles of experience and a very astute understanding of this industry, has offered worthy opinion to guys like yourself. I believe he has given up banging his head against the wall :ugh:

When you do arrive in Ryanair you're unlikely to find opinion contrary to what you find here. All the trainers will tow the company line because it would appear highly unprofessional not to, but go on, really push them on how they see your prospects. I doubt you will though. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH and all that, ehh?

I've had my assessment on 7th,DEC non rated.
Easy SIM..nice guys

Guys the basic sim profile hasn't changed much over the years, basic SID, some air work including steep turns, needle tracking, etc, followed by NDB/ILS approaches, maybe single engine dependant on experience levels.

Interview is fun, some human resources type questions, why Ryanair, etc....standard interview questions really, preparation shows through.....some tech questions, basic ATPL theory unless experienced then expect some aircraft specific questions - again preparation really shows.

Good luck, relax and enjoy it. just remember that no-one wants you to fail, prepare for the interviews and fly like you know you can.

If you are successful well done, congrats and enjoy type rating and line training. Be warned though that you will get bent over and raped by the company. Burying your head in the sand will not help you, hrs are decreasing for new FO's and bases are getting more and more obscure, you will do lots of standbys for no pay miles away from family and friends with that huge loan to repay, good luck if you want to face that on your own, if you don't..........

JOIN REPA.....................times are changing and with the help of the cadets and inexperienced FO's we can really make a difference and change things for the better, I say again slowly JOIN REPA


G CEXO, Muten, et al - I hope that meets your expectations, now wind your necks in

Anyone else here been given a start date in Amsterdam on 1st October?

Don"t start your type in AMS !!!!! AND JOIN REPA !!!! :E:E:E:E funny isn't it ?

Hi,
Can anyone outline what ABCDEFGH checks are that the oxford guys use please... I think they use it before departure, but not sure what it stands for.

I didn't come from Oxford but would like to know what system they use just in case I get paired up with someone from there.

cheers

Anyone from the Aug 14th assessment get a reply back yet?

Hey guys,

Cheers

A - ATIS

Hope this will help ;)

Anyone starting induction course on the 17th of september and TR on the 1st of october?

Cheers

I'm on the same course- type rating in AMS on 1st oct? Have you got your contracts yet?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with providing the guys and gals going for their interviews ALL of the information.....this is part of the decision making process, no-one else seems to have a problem with it but you GCEXO.

This is the REAL world where there are REAL problems, not your rose tinted spectacled flight school, happy jobs for everyone, view of life. Built4speed has it spot on and I call for him and others already flying for Ryanair to keep providing their knowledge to others looking for a foot in the door.

If we are voting on moderation of this thread then my vote goes for slinging your backside out the door, one day you will be looking for the support of someone like Built4speed, there is a movement going on in Ryanair and the wannabes and newbies need to be involved before Ts and Cs really hit rock bottom

so GCEXO I say again.......wind your neck in:ugh:
