How many years ago was your friend called again? I failed my interview in June 2013. My application is there...but nothing...:\

I applied since 2011, first time pass, 98% average , 300 TT never heard anything back.

I keep updating my profile but I guess its random

First time passes
 

Are they still very strict on the ATPL subject attempts?

Thanks :}

Just for those who are wondering timescales... My experience as follows.

Integrated OAA graduate 97% first time passes in all theory / flight tests, CV sent from OAA to Ryanair on 29th Jan. Telephone interview 18th Feb inviting me to assessment the next week.

Had my assessment 25th Feb, got positive news 3 weeks one day later. Type rating initially June but was called the next day to offer me a place on the May course due to a cancellation.

One Dutch guy on my assessment graduated from CAE in Nov 2012, so he had a long wait even though he was an integrated student with CAE.

Hope this helps steady your nerves, and good luck if you are awaiting an assessment!

Ryan Air assesement
 

Hy guys, I applied Nov 2012 at FR but NO ANSWER till now... I don´t understand this system, how is it going?
I heard, that FR have approx. 4000 CV´s in database and they need 600 Pilots this year.
So they take every sixth CV and invite these guys.
A friend of mine got an invitation 3 weeks ago and applied 4 months after me.

It´s forbidden to contact any rectuitment team, otherwise you can be disqualified, so I don´t know what to do...I become desperate :(

It is forbidden to promote your cv with nearly every company in the world. However, particularly in the aviation industry, if you know a certain somebody in the HR Dept, it helps to get your CV bumped up the pile!!!
Not saying I do, just contacts and networking is key to a first job, especially in aviation!

Is there any good books to prepare for the interview?

Can someone tell/update, what kind of stuff they do ask in the phone interview, HR, SIM, etc?

Thanks!

Hi!! Could I know how long took in your case since the asessment until the good news? Cause today makes 5 weeks for me. Thank you:)

How long did you guys have to wait since sending CV to the next email?

Hi everybody,
Does anyone know if the ''1 hour of actual aircraft time in the last 6 months'' has to be on a Multi engine or a Single engine ?

I would be interested to know the information requested by Danyboyswe and cefey as well.

Just as it states: ''1 hour of actual aircraft time in the last 6 months''

A SEP is a actual aircraft is it?!:ok:

With me it took almost 9 weeks after the assessment until I received the positive news, in general, everybody waiting for longer than 3 weeks gets positive news.

Bobermo, could I ask you for your sample size to substantiate that claim? I know of two people, both waited 7 weeks, one got a yes and the other a no.

I have the same question as Danyboyswe:

Also, is this "1 MB" requirement for scanned CPL/IR/ME copies followed strictly? In my case, I had 8 sheets of paper and to have just a readable quality of the scans (even in B&W) requires slightly more than 1 MB. Could this be the reason for rejection?

Edit:
Answer to my own question ;) :
Slightly more than 1 MB for CPL/IR/ME papers appears to be acceptable for Ryan's recruitment team.

My experience is based on about 25 people, 20 yes 5 no.
Good luck everyone!

guys do you know if there will be any assesment at the end of april?
:)

Do you know if they all had first time passes in their ATPL exams?

Thanks :)

Type Rating
 

Hi guys!! Anyone on East Midlands on 16th june?

PM please!! thank you:)

Hi.
Could someone please give a rough figure on what percentage of applicants ryanair actually take on?

do ryanair take on irish pilots?
Thanks

Any news? Somebody knows if there are assesments in April?

I'd say about 1 in 5 And things like: "they don't take on this or that nationality" is just urban legend.
