No experience isn't a requirementat all? I had several hundred TP hours and was invited in for an assessment and got the job as an FO. But if you are rated on a TP, know it inside out because most of my questions were based on my aircraft, and they seemed pleasantly impressed with my answers. Sim ride didn't go fantastic for me, but i guess it went well enough to pass. So yeah, good luck and all the best for the future! :ok:

ryanair selection.
 

Anyone been to they have to do the assessment again, if its been 12 months since their assessement....? even though the passed!! What a scenario that could be!!:ugh:

you have to do the sim assessment again if it has been more than 9 months since your original interview... even if you were successful the first time around..

Hi,
Would those of you having been invited for selection with RYR please state your age? I called CAE today and was denied an answer to that question so I am wondering why they were not allowed to say. Thank you. Much appreciated.

Stefair, of course they wouldn't be able to say. There are more than the average 'younger' people passing though there will of course be older people. There are more than the average Irish people passing though of course there are other nationalities. Just focus on yourself, your knowledge and your flying and hope with all your might that you are 'lucky' enough to get an interview. From the nature and number of your questions, you seem to be doing your own head in over this. You aren't going to force the situation. And you certainly aren't going to nail Ryanair on the grounds of discrimination or sus them out as to what profile they want - they do what they want, when they want, how they want - they are a monopoly - you win all the properties on one side of the board and put houses on them and you can be too. Then you'll see.

Stefair;

I was accepted in May and I am 24 yo. It shouldn't matter too much how old you are, just go there and show them how it's done and you'll be fine!

/G

They did not say. All they said was RYR are continuing to recruit but at a slower pace. According to them - and I am not exaggerating - they have "several hundreds of suitable candidates to choose from"... Crazy. Plain crazy.

STEFAIR
Its not crazy but its the truth they do infact have a total of more than 500 cadets on their books, they have the upper hand and can choose who they like and the sims get tougher as time goes on.

If you have 1000 hours experience on the 737, does that pretty much rule you out of Ryanair (1300TT) or will CAE or whoever else does recruitment consider you?

What is the current situation with regard to people starting type ratings or in hold pool?
Are Ryanair conducting any/many interviews?
where are people on their line training having to move too?

P.S Question is not directed at people who are on to bad mouth ryanair and dont have any direct connection/experience to company.sick reading crap from people who are playing chinese whispers!!!:}

Type Rating courses are starting in November, December and January.

Interviews are taking place in the coming weeks.

First bases will probably be abroad, but we live in hope!

:ok:

Yep, should be going to Stockholm in Feb! :ok:

Is anyone else starting the TR on 25th Jan at EMA?

Ryanair assessment??
 

anybody get a call this week?????

They seem to be calling alot of people at the moment.

Hope for 250hr FRZ ATPL guys
 

I'm posting this to tell my story and to hopefully spread some light and good news, rather than the usual doom and glom that usually plagues these forums!
I started my flight training with SAA in January last year, spent a year in the states, passed the ATPL first time, then went to Sweden between March and July this year, completed the CPL/ME/IR first time in Sweden. Did the Ryanair MCC at OAA in Stockholm. Then after 2 months of searching I had a phone call from Ryanair, I then did the assessment, passed the assessment and now I'm waiting to hear about the T/R, which is rumoured to be early in the new year.
So believe me it is possible to get a job as a cadet at the moment and good luck to anyone applying.
Keep the faith!

Anyone going for the assessment on the 22nd oct???

Are you starting Ryanair TR 23rd November? (CAE Amsterdam)
 

Hi all,

I have had my start date for my Ryanair TR - 23rd Nov EMA / 7th Dec CAE, Just wondering if anyone else on here is starting then? Would be nice to get to know a few others pre-course :)

ps. Please no slagging about FR, I know what I am getting into thank you.

Hi!

Only for info, when did you the interview? I am saying that because I heard that they were very very delayed....

Thanks and good luck:ok:

Had the interview late April, Was told to expect a start date Nov/Dec but then I read all sorts of rumours on here and didnt expect to start until next spring, Fortunately got a call late Sept asking if I could make Nov! Very surprised, Can't wait :ok:

Cheers and good luck to you too whatever you are doing ;)
