Fail to see how they forced you and how its a bad thing to be self employed ? Most in RYR are and have a bigger salary because of that.
You always have a choice, you chose to take it. At the end of the day you have a job, you will be logging hours and getting paid for that.

Excuse me but if you choose that career you know there will be sacrifices. You know that sooner or later you will have to say bye bye to Mummy and Daddy or to say to your wife and kids that you need to move especially if you want to fly with Ryanair because you know that Ryanair has hundreds of bases and thousands of pilots and they won't let you choose your base.
And obviously you want to stay around Belgium why don't you go Brussels Airlines you will be based in the wonderful airport of Zaventem. Or ASL in Liège.*
If you want to be a spoiled child *well indeed you should avoid wasting their times and yours.
No hard feeling mate.

In addition to what*paul_v1*said, weren't you giving people lessons about being flexible and all that a few months ago? :-)

I'm not talking about a base dude. As you highlited with one of my previous post, I don't give a flying f**k about the base, I'm talking about the method.

I don't wanna sound rude, but you choose to pay for your own TR...nobody forced you to do that. Terms and conditions start from us. As long as people will sign anything proposed they can only get worse.

I'm sorry but the "at the end of the day" does not apply here.
To be self-employed you have to meet certain conditions, otherwise you MUST have an employee contract.
Fake self-employment means you can be prosecuted...

Apparently some countries are enforcing this while others don't. This is why they're trying to send everyone to Buzz.

Citationcj2 25th Dec 2019 10:33

Its amazing to read all the enthusiasm on here from people before they get the job and then afterwards coming here crying!
Unfortunately because people like you are willing to sign and accept those poor conditions and **** pay, things are the way they are. Its a vicious circle.
Airlines get away with it as long as people are willing to fly for free.
Im yet to see a satisfied cadet. They all feel like they’ve been shafted after a while.
Remember its not all doom and gloom the way flightschools seem to tell you & sell you!

So they held a gun to you're head then????
if you had bothered to read the news this year you would have seen what is happening in the industry. The Max is still not flying, who knows when it will, Ryanair are responding to the lack of growth the way any business will, cut costs. If it can squeeze your salary then it will. Is it right, well it's just business.
No one has forced you to do anything, you have decided to do it. If I were you I would **** or get off the pot. Who knows in 18 Months you might be able to join Jet2.
Meanwhile treat it as an adventure, there are too many at Ryanair who are prepared to accept their t and c's so if you don't like it leave. Sadly you won't, just as others won't.

Just FYI: I am pretty much satisfied. Employed at the mainline, stable salary, base I want...of course it could always be better, but for me, and quite a few people I know, it was the right choice.

giovari 30th Dec 2019 11:12

Hello guys,

Long time follower of this thread and my first post in the forum.

After finishing the APS MCC in Simtech last June I made the application for Ryanair a few weeks after, just when they were about to close the cadet program. I got the online assessment email in September, and got positive feedback in November. Since then, no updates so far, just the talent pool thing.

Has any of you guys in the same situation applied to Lauda cadet program at the same time? I am afraid they cannot longer consider my application to Ryanair DAC after doing this. What do you guys think?

P.S. Haven’t heard anything from Lauda yet.

Hello mate. Same here.
passed the online assessment and still waiting in that talented pool
I did not apply for Lauda. Waiting on RyanAir.

Jamesflyer1 13th Jan 2020 14:50

Hello everyone,

As I planned to get my UPRT soon, I wonder if any of you applied recently to Ryanair and got an interview ( within last 2 months ) ?

Or did anyone apply and got any news related to Lauda instead ?

thanks in advance

RYR Recruitment is open
 
Just to let you all know

The Cadetship is open again

Indeed. I’ve been emailed today. In the holding list since November.

PPRuNeUser0156 23rd Jan 2020 20:57

does anybody know what you put into the english language proficiency section of the CAE portal when you have a level 6 and nothing other than your licence to confirm?

pilot freak 24th Jan 2020 08:58

Make sure that the UPRT-A is completed! It is a requirement now.

How do you know? have RYR contacted you?
And just for the sake of my own interest; why have they opened again? Per my understanding, the MAX hasn't been approved yet, right?

Regards

Can confirm the process has reopened. The CAE website is now actively seeking applications rather than the expressions of interest they were welcoming over the last few months. Having completed a Ryanair Mentored APS last year, I successfully completed the Ryanair assessment this week.

rotorwills 24th Jan 2020 23:09

Well it would be expected that they have opened up. Logical, the inevitable loss of aircrew due to normal circumstances means the tap needs turning on. With 400 plus aircraft and once the Max flows then their expansion will demand new recruits as well as the flow of cadets which demonstrates their operational foresight. Can't say they aren't commercial and have control of their five or seven year company plan.

Of course I agree, but rumors are now that the MAX is being delayed until summer (or even autumn), so I just have a hard time understanding why they would open up now.

PPRuNeUser0156 25th Jan 2020 12:35

well they didn't get the 30 max aircraft they expected last year and ended up having a surplus of 300 pilots. they still have people leaving and the number of aircraft they own hasn't gone down so the maths says they still need over 500 pilots annually just from retirements and people leaving.

Augis1999 25th Jan 2020 21:19

As I can see CAE website is not requiring to upload any document regarding UPRT. I have applied few days ago. Does anyone know situation with UPRT? Do we need to have it before assessment or ir can be done after succesful completion?

Regards.

Must be done before TR

pilot freak 26th Jan 2020 15:28

Once the assessment is passed successfully, when does Ryanair require you to pay the €10K?

Augis1999 26th Jan 2020 16:07

Does anyone know if they recruit if you are type rated on different aircraft? I have just finished my ATPL integrated and type rated on A320, any chances to be invited for the assessment?

APS MCC
 
I know it’s been mentioned before quite a bit, but are there any more views or opinions about the best APS MCC provider (Simtech, VA, Sky4U, etc...)!?
It’s quite an investment to make, but I presume that those 40hrs will stand by you for any assessment and not just Ryanair.

CT2160 26th Jan 2020 19:06

I attended Ryanair Cadet assessment last week in Dublin, and while I had a UPRT certificate - the others were just told to make sure to have it complete prior to TR.

An enjoyable day had up there actually, a really nice group of guys being assessed (we all passed), and the assessors were really friendly do the best they can to keep you calm. Started out with a brief on the simulator and some pointers for during the sim. We were given the day's plates EGGP WAL2T SID and NDB/ILS R27 and had time to brief these with our sim partners. For my flight as PF it was:
- WAL2T SID climbing 5000'
- General handling raw data with climbing/descending, turns and speed changes to get a feel for the pitches (most important thing to remember is nail the pitches)
- Steep turns (45 degrees, 1 either way).
- Cleared direct LPL NDB then QDM intercept.
- Call from cabin that there is an uncontrolled cabin fire, and after MAYDAY, advised by tower that radar was u/s so it would be self positioning for full procedure
- PIOSEE, and setup for approach while inbound LPL.
- Straight into the base turn for ILS27.

With my sim partner as PF it was mostly the same apart from a turn onto a given heading instead of the SID, and an issue that meant tower called us back to land at Liverpool, again full proc 27.

Then with the interviews, again really chilled out, the assessors had a nice chat with you and keep you at ease. HR questions were the standard
- Hardest part of training?
- Where did you train? Why did you choose there?
- Why Ryanair?
- How soon would you be willing to start?
- Why do you want to become a pilot?

The technical questions started with pointing at a picture of the 737 (showing the starboard side):
- Why is the tail not anti iced?
- Tell me about the hydraulics?
- Where is the alpha vane in this photo?
- What is the green indicator aft of the forward door?
- Tell me about the APU?

A couple of days later, I'm really happy to say that I received the positive email and I'm now waiting for my start date. Really looking forward to it!

Best of luck to anyone involved in the process!

Thanks! Not yet, but hopefully we get our start dates for those soon. I’ve got 218h TT and did an APS.
