C'mon guys you know I just like pulling your chains, just ignore me, I like venting off sometime and this is the best place to do it. I suppose I'm just upset at the demise of this once proud industry of ours.

While I am here a lot of you scoffed about my "sleeping in cars" comment, well it has reared its head in another thread http://www.pprune.org/professional-p...ant-pilot.html here. I have no connection to this thread or influence over it, I just happened to stumble over it and thought it was a bit coincidental.

Cheers

Hi all,
I applied a couple weeks ago via CAE and OAA.
Any1 have a clue of how long does it usually take for a reponse latelly?
Thnx in advance.

fpuentegomez..

Be prepared to wait for a loooong time :ugh:. I applied in October 2009 but haven't heard of them since. I also heard stories of people being called after one year :uhoh:.

Patience is a virtue... they say :D

oh well...
Will just have to wait...
I alse heard ppl with more experience than 200 hrs get called last...
what's your experience DME? if you don't mind me asking
tia

I have 220 Hrs of which 70 are sim, finished integrated training in October. How many hours do you have? Sure about the 200 hrs?

I have 226 TT, without sim time, 331 with sim time.
And crossing fingers it won't take too long :O
Anyway good luck to all.

this once proud industry of ours. you were training in 2008. so you were proud then? brilliant

airbus freak dont you know smithy likes to protray himself as a 55 year old captain with too many hours to count on too many aircraft types to even begin telling us!:ok:
no way would he bet a guy with a frozen atpl or recently unfrozen....:ok:

Hi all,
First of all on a positive note to all you guys that have recently applied for the FR assesment i applied exactly 3 weeks ago today and last friday recieved my call asking me to attend an assesment so it can happen quite quick, i have my assesment on the 23rd in STN, anyone attending this pm me.Also i was hoping others who had allready completed this assesment could post some advice on the best way to prepare and what is normally asked in the tech interview and what FR are expecting you to know ie is there allot of ATPL style questions and also is there allot of questions asked about the -800 and ryanair as a company, would appreciate the help thanks

Hi, Can you tell us how you applied? Nice to hear that it CAN happen quick :D.

Good luck with your assessment!

Very helpful man I'll keep that in mind when I'm looking for a job in America. Why post that in a forum called ryanair interview and assessment.?? No help

hmmmm..
 

Im confused, on the CAE and BFSAA websites the type rating training is quoted at E27000 or E28000 (euros, dont know how to get it on my keyboard)...

On this thread all the talk is of 34000 or 33000 euros, whats the difference, am I missing somthing?

it's not only the TR, you also have to take into account living expenses (room, food, transportation) and also things like airport ID, uniform for a few months (during TR and first couple of months before you fly without safety pilot).

Could you explain that a little better Imperium. I'm curious about what has to be done to get the VAT back. Is it part of the brookfield contract arrangements? Or something different?

thnx for the info, I'm assuming then that these accountants are part of ryanair, right?

Got an interview with Ryan air next month. Anyone got any feedback on what sort of technical questions they could throw at me.

Thanks

Congratulations gd123! :D
When did you send your CV or in other words for how long have you been waiting for the call?

/NJ

Imperium/Hernando
update: vat is no longer payable in east midlands or Amsterdam now so the price you pay is 27500, laws have changed in the Netherlands. That was a nice surprise so now you don't need to pay the vat in the first place :)

@gd123

when did you apply? and did you go through CAE or OAA?

thnx in advance

Could someone inform me if it is easier to get hired as cadet if I do the MCC at SAA.
If I go to the SAA website, the say that the preferred way to enter the Ryanair type qualification program is through the Ryanair MCC course.
