I think some one is pulling your leg!!

If only, the chance would be a fine thing:-)

Ryan Air offering a bonded tr, would be strange however I think it could be a possibility, from what I can make out they're getting pretty short of people willing to be taken from behind by them.
They have called me about 8 times in the last two weeks, even leaving a message on one occasion! I have'nt answered because a) I knew it was them and b) I now have another job. On that basis it strikes me that they're getting short of people to try.

There will always be an oversupply of wannabes, but maybe theyve finally had enough of Ryan Air? Perhaps Ryan Air are going to have to consider a more attractive/ less disgraceful package for the cadets or else face a shortage of pilots. They work on money as the bottom line, it will cost the much more to cancel flights/ reduce schedules due to a lack of pilots than it will do to fund a few bonded type ratings.

If they did start offering bonded TR's I bet Horgy and a few others would be pretty pissed off!

Wheelbarrow - why not just let them know you have a job elsewhere instead of ignoring them?

There's about a 2 month waiting list for TR start dates at the moment - I assure you the rumours that RYR are running short of bods should be taken with an ample pinch of salt.

I can confirm what Horgy said.
Last week both me and my sim partner passed the assessment.
my sim partner was offered End of march!!!

Hello Guys,

I been called for the assesment on the 21st, anyone going on this date that would like to talk before?? PM,

Good Luck!

For all of you guys out there writing me PM. Here is a descripion of the day.

We started of by being sat in a room with a guy. He told us about the day and what was going to happen.

Then we got 10 mins to find together with each other and descide who is going to fly first in the sim. A good idea is to quickly find together and then discuss the plate given.

My partner was first of me and him in the sim we descided and me nr. one for the interview.

Before lunch I had my interview. Lasting between 30-40 mins.
Asking about my background and different technical quest. Pretty through out as being described here. But a lot of questions from all kind of ATPL areas. Don't be afraid og this interview. It is very relaxed athmosfere and the 3 guys sitting there is very nice people.

After lunch (2 hours delay) we got to the sim. I have no clue how it went. As I don't know what they are looking for. We both made a GA as we both became unestabhlished. Being placed 8nm back and landing afterwards. The sim is totally new and very nice. I never tried a full flight before so it was totally new for me. Thats why I have no clue as if it was within their limits. We were told that don't worry too much about if you have to make a parallel or direct entry and such small details. Like they used to do on the flying school. The important thing was to be practical.

Then afterwards I waited for my partner to finish his interview, and then the day was over. Went back to my hotel in EMA and thats it. Was very tired afterwards..........

I really hope that they call me with a positive answer. But all I can do is wait a little more.

I personally think that it would be a good idea to take some hours in a full flight sim before attending an assesment with ryanair. That way you are more prepared for the "enviroment". Not so much wich plate you fly. Cause we all know how to fly an ILS and a NDB approach. Otherwise you would not have your certificate today!!!! So do not be worried about wich plate you are going to get. Not one you have practiced on! I can promise you that! I think it is more important to focus on making good CRM and correcting your simpartner and ask for the right things and brief and all. But that is just me.

All the best to all of you (and cross your fingers for me)

Interview coming up...Try This....URGENT
 

If you have a Ryanair Interview coming up, get a couple of hours sim practice with Virtual aviation.

They have loads of people using them for interview sim practice and are Fully aware of the ryanair profile. You will practice in the 737 all raw data flying.

Well worth It

www.virtualaviation.co.uk

I can Highly recommend them

Trig!!

Sim preparation
 

I booked 2 hours in december at Virtual Aviation to get ready for my assestment day with RYR...Hope It's going to work since It cost me a real fortune!
For people out there that haven't had before any experience of real sim jet training with full motion I feel to really suggest this experience with them or even in other more convinient organization just to get a bite of handling and power managment of the airplane we will ride on that day.

For the rest I think a good review of the most important stuff related to ATPL gen knowledge and plenty of time spent in front of FS2004 to improve scanning and approach plates schould be enoungh.

In bocca al lupo a tutti -----Best luck for everybody going to be in DUB or EMA soon!!!:ok::ok::ok:

Ryanair assessment day
 

Hello to everyone!


My name is Jordi and this is my first post! I'm going to the Ryanair assessment day in 12th desember (4 days from now!) i'm a little bit nervous! I have already read all the posts explaining how is the day and so on but I would like to ask again about the interview, what kind of questions do they do? what is the most important materia?

And about the simulator, do they use jeppsen charts? At what airports do they use t/o ldg,...?

And about the dress? do everybody dress in a suit?

thanks to everybody!!!

by the way, is anybody coming to the assessment in the same day as me??

jordiporta.
Yes they use Jep charts. Airport is chosen on the day, you are given the chart and briefed on what is going to happen, then you have until after lunch to prepare and read the charts.

You need to know basic Aerodynamics and some info on the 737-800 e.g. seats, range, engines (please dont day Rolls royce),
some performance and Meteorology e.g. Jetstreams, Radiation fog, carb ice etc

Also you need to know as much as possible about Ryanair, and prepare an answer on why you want to work for them?

Captain_N,

thankes for the quick reply!

I have everything except the 737 info! do you know where can I finde this info in a summ and easy way??! I don't have time for reading all the manual and so on!

thankes!!

jordi

This would be a good place to start -

Mcc
 

Hello
I did my Mcc at SAS Flight Academy. We used the Ryanair SOP, flew in the fokker 28 sim., but it was some of the best instructurs I have ever met and also a great way to get into Ryan. In our group we were ten persons of witch only 7 did the "Ryanized" MCC and of us 7 so far 6 has been invited to start the typerating program, 4 of us will start Jan 14th back at the academy in Sthlm, the other ones has alredy started in Ams.
So I´d like to say it´s a great way in.

Best Of Luck
