Hi Magicmick
 

Thank you very much for a worthwhile and considered response. It definitely constitutes food for thought and is much appreciated.

RYR TR EMA 26 Sept 11
 

Hi Guys,

Has anybody else been selected for the TR starting 26 Sep 11 at EMA?

Hello Again 738 Driver
 

You’re very welcome to the information, out of date as it is.

One snag that you might find with applying to RYR is that they seem to like employing direct entry captains with the rating and lots of command hours or 200hr cadets with no airline experience at all. As an experienced FO with a rating and over 1000hrs you fall in the gap between the extremes that RYR prefer.

Obviously it would be completely inappropriate for you to chuck in your current job to go chasing RYR as you might never receive an invite to the assessment day but if you are owed some leave and can squeeze an MCC into the leave period then go for it.

The worst they can do is not invite you and you continue in your current FO job until something else comes along, which compared to a lot of people (including myself) is a very privileged position.

All the best

Hey yeah im goin there on that day

Hey guys , got the positive phone call this morning . Starting the type on the 10th of october . ANyone else starting at this date ? :rolleyes:

Hi Guys...3days ago RYR told me to send them CV and some other info...
i read all the past 118 pages of the thr and someone says they are going to call me in five days....

do they send me a email first to confirm my CV is ok???or they call me without notice?? :ugh:

Thanks

If I'm right they just sent me a confirmation email saying that my application and my cv upload was still in progress (21st of june) and the girl called me right away a couple of days later (23rd) asking me couple of questions again about my training , and finally she will give you the date for the interview . ;)

Looks like everybody gets invited but me and looking at the age in some profiles seems like I have no chance :ouch:

Cheers

cerealkiller, thing is... everybody got an invitation and how many will be accepted at the end? maybe its better not getting a call and save some money and time. :) of course some will get in but just a minority.
good luck btw!

Someone said around 1/2 ! during the assessment . :O

The figure is much lower, 2-3/12

The assessor told us their average is about 40% pass rate. Everyone can fail or pass on any given day.

Pacrion, you're right.

Thing is, I'd like at least to have the chance to get in.

For sure I'm saving money without going, but in the same way I'm sure I won't get in without trying.

Thanks for the good luck wish anyway :)

Cheers

RyR have so many applications now, that they can afford to be picky, and I would not be surprised if they had such standards.

I have heard of guys who partialled, who at least was called in for an interview, but the guys I know did not get a job. Competition is very high to get in with RYR at the moment.

RYR pilot selection
 

Hey Guys,
Just a quick question...do Ryanair care whether an applicants IR is a First time/First Series or Second Series Pass or do they just expect an IR period?

Ash12
 

In general terms a pass is a pass, so as long as your not a complete plank, then they will be more than happy to take your credit card, training pilots is now an important source of revenue, ask yourself one question, if there are type rated people out there, with time on type, why would they employ you? Yep you got it in one, your cheaper and if you screw up, they don't give a toss because there's another I-robot behind you with 30k Euro to blow

If this is the case why oh why will they not offer me an interview! Answer is because Im 34 (33 when I applied 14 months ago). Its very frustrating for people not in the 21 to 29 age group not to even get a shot at an interview. Our money is the same as younger guys and many of us will probably leave after 2 years and go down to sandpit as allot of FR pilots are doing anyway.

Hello guys,

Anyone can please give me any feedbacks form past interwies?
What technical questions thy've been asked? personal questions?
Sim sections?

Many thanks

thank to everyone...i just recived the confirmation from RYR that my interview is gonna be on the 4th of August....
let s hope...
i am a bit worry about the sim.... :-/

You either get an invite or never hear anything, unfortunately.

Asking again , Does anyone else starting the TR in EMA on the 10th of October ?

pretty much it s your last chance to get hired, if you fail ryanair, you will probably never get a job.


spend 100'000euro for this, no much in your little brain of kido!:ugh:

this market became a joke! and some of you follow it like monkeys... sad world!:{

and in 4 years, captain will come to sleep with you!:}
they will probably ask you to pay for captaincy... come back in 3 years and you will see.this industry is dead, gangraine is everywhere. too late.:*

Good evening everyone!

I have a question and I hope any of you can help me, do you know if it is possible to be invited to the assessment for the second time or it is an utopy?

In some emails, they (CAE or OAA) ask you if this is your first application, but I am not sure if they want only first applicants or maybe you can get a second chance years later.


Thanks a lot

Anybody attending the Assessment on the 27th July?

I don't think so; I was originally rejected in July 2008 and reapplied via CAE earlier this year. I got an email asking me for further information, including whether I'd applied before, and since then haven't heard anything - so I'm assuming the policy is still no re-applications.

Re-application seems to be fine after 6 months. I originally applied in Sept '10. Got rejected before interview

Similar CV 6-months later, got invited. No idea why...

But as you got rejected before the interview, what if you fail the interview and then re-apply?

@denik89 I have the same date than you

Should have said - that is my situation. Rejected after the interview day, and from speaking to various people within the company it would appear to be the policy still.

@madex

hey this is great!! where is your B&B/Hotel??

p.s.
Caroline from Cae? lol

How much warning of simulator assessment?
 

Is the amount of warning that RYR candidates are given (between being called for sim assessment and the assessment taking place) reducing?

It's often been severl weeks (or more) ahead, but I've been hearing reports of it being as little as 48hrs recently.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks.

It's random really. Last year I got 48 hours. Some of my friends got two weeks. It isn't too difficult, so two days should be enough, if you know your basic stuff, and do not need extra sim training etc.

10 days..:-)

6 days for me ! 3 weeks for some other guys who were at the same assesment .. :bored:

hi guys,
first of all i've received the confermation fro OAA more than 4 weeks before...
a part that i had my interview 2 days ago...basically they concentrate the interview on the personal ( the same stuff as always:why ryanair,how did you get into flyng, how is gonna pay your TRecc ecc) and the tecnical was pretty relaxed (they asked me few mass and balance questions) the sim assesment was pretty easy...took off from rwy 27 in liverpool, wlc 2t dep and once over the vor some aerial jobs to see the basic ifr, than the procedure for an ils ndb n the same rwy....
it was good and pretty easy as well....
just a note...the hr guy seems to be a fun guy...he cames with few jokes ecc but once inside the room he resulted as a bored guy and he seems to be pretty faraway from the room inside his mind,the aer lingus captain were very gentle....on of those as the hr guy seems to be a funny guy...but he gave me the sensation of an asshole...where as the otherone was really a nice guy outside the assesment and inside as well....
hope to be usefull as i can....if you need further information do not hesitate to contact me!
hope all the best to everyone is going to fr selection in next weeks!!
cheers:ok:

I had honnestly exactly the same feeling after the assesment . The assessors were so neutral that no one could affirm if he is hired or not , even if you think the assessment was good for you ( As I thought and actually that was confirmed few days later ) .
This description is very similar to my personnal interview , same HR questions , same rwy 27 in liverpool , same SID , same app ....
I hope it will help someone . :)

Hi there,
what kind of mass and balance questions?
Any differences between your flying and monitoring part at the sim?

Which is the best accountancy firm to choose??? I am starting in a month and I have no idea.

Any info??

Best regards

At the moment we are not putting reapplicants through for a second assessment.

Thanks for your continued interest in Ryanair and good luck in the future.

Kind regards,

Caroline

An email I got a few weeks ago! :ugh:

well i've been asked about mass and balance as im working as a weight and balance perator so they've been asked about my experience...so i pretty sure they would the same to everybody that have any expeirence related to the aviation world....about the sim...we have done the same things me and my flight mate....no emergency standard calls out...as always...
ill be true if you look back on this thread you can find everything that you need for the interview!:E
