Ryanair hiring US Citizens?

Got a JAR licence?

They might do if you have

Nope, just the standard issue FAA tickets. Hopefully ICAO gets rid of this ridiculous FAA & JAA not being compatible nonsense soon.

If you have a command on the 737 and the right to work in Europe the answer is yes. You will have to get your licence indorsed by the IAA. 12 months from that date you will be expected to sit all 14 of the JAR written exams to get your full JAR licence issued.

If:

You dont have a command on the 737.
The right to work in Europe - ie marrying some bimbo (like marryin some mexican gal to get a green card).

Then think you will be struggling.

Good luck

ryanair entry
 
hello everybody,

I have recently applied for Ryanair and they have answered me, that they do not need pilots now. I applied through the CAE website as I'm applying for the cadet program. I'm copilot on King Air with approx. 1500 hr TT. Was it the wrong way? Do I still have to fill in the application form of Ryanair on the website and pay for the 50 pounds or €? To me the application form on the website is only for captains. Somebody can tell me a possible reason. Have they stopped recruiting now?

Appreciate any response

Johny Cash,

I got a call for assessment very recently and a mate of mine was just offered a spot on the TR course so they are recruiting. It appears RYR never seem to stop recruitment completely from what I have experienced through people I know and have trained with etc.

As for your question on if your applying through the correct route, I have no idea. All I casn tell you is I applied as a cadet directly to the recruitment officer which was the advise given to me by the flight school I attended. As your a FO, I cannot say if thats the route of enquiry you should take or not.

hello folks,

Just wondererd if anyone has been offered an assessment recently? was called by CAE a couple of weeks back and was told they would be forwarding my CV but have not heard anything since. A couple of mates of mine had an assessment a couple of weeks back but that's all i've got to go on.

Cheers

well the last Type Rating date as far as im aware is Oct .
Il be waiting 8months from passing assesment to starting the type rating
so i assume the next type ratings will be November ,
Surely there in no rush for recruitment at this early stage ...

Mattman1907 15th Apr 2009 14:00

Anyone on the assessment day on 22nd of April?

Bambe 15th Apr 2009 22:38

Cheapest sim in Europe....

Bruges Air College

When I went there I only met people preparing their Ryanair sim. So far, they all passed! The instructor is amazing (Retired pilot from the Sabena, thousands of hours on type).

bambe, do you know whats the easiest and cheapest way to get to bruges from uk?

Airsey 17th Apr 2009 13:32

So does anyone know whether the TR course is 7-8 weeks from the date of induction, or from the date of the continuation of training after the induction week (if you know what I mean).

Cheapest, fastest and most convenient way would be to take the Eurostar from London (Kings Cross). 59 pounds return if booked 2 weeks in advance, plus included in the ticket is a train ticket to any Belgian station, so you get to Bruges easily.

nick14 17th Apr 2009 14:49

The induction week is just that, the actual Type rating starts on the week following, I think its around 6-8 weeks depending.

Hi Guys and Girls,

What is the view on paying for sim test prep, particularly if you have done a FFS MCC and are short on time before the assessment day?

Many thanks,

MH152 :ok:

bfisk 20th Apr 2009 15:10

Well I didn't do any sim practice (did MCC in king air FNPT2 a few months earlier), no prob, although the interviewers wondered why I didn't prepare for the sim. Did buy a force feedback joystick for MSFS and did some basic attitude flying, worked a treat, got accepted, but got a better offer in between so I turned RYR down.

Also be aware of the following, which I think may be the case, although this is pure speculation: on the assessment day, "all of us" arrived early (20-30 minutes-ish) and "all of us" were in nice suits, very polished and clean. "All of us" were non-airline-experienced, experience ranging from 200hrs to around 2000hrs flight instructing/caravan/etc. At the last moment a few other "candidates" showed up, all casual dressed, claiming to have thousands of hours airline experience. All nice fellows though. They followed along the brief/chart discussion etc along with the rest of us, but in retrospect they seemed very interested in us, how we interpreted the charts etc. They were paired and no one saw them later (to my knowledge).

Now these chaps may have genuinely been there for a direct entry command assessment, OR they could in fact have been part of the assessment. Checking out communication skills, group dynamics, etc etc. Anyone else having seen anything similar??

Cheers, interesting comments bfisk. :ok:
