Insideview,

You have a good attitude my friend. I would fly with you anytime. :-)

Cheers,

CAE and SAS are where you do the TQ Course. They also have access to possibly submit you for Sim Assessment, but aer by no means the only way of doing so. As with everything research and use every possible avenue, not just the ones that are easy to find and laid out on a plate for you.

UK residency...not EU
 

Anyone else in the same situation?

I know that on their website it says "must be able to live and work in the EU".

I have permanent residency for the UK only to live and work unresricted.

Is there anyone else with this same situation? (maybe even heard of someone actually employed with UK only residency)

Does anyone have any opinions on whether this forfeits my chance of employment?

Thanks

Ryanair
 

Hi all,

Just wondered if i could ask some people in the know about Ryanair a few questions?

Firstly if i joined Ryanair with a 737 rating and 100 hours on type would i be on the cadet salary still or would i enter straight away onto the full F/O salary + flight pay?

Secondly I am aware that unless you have the NG differences on your license that they bond you over 5 years....How much is this bond in £ sterling?

Lastly once line trained...which i will be already with 100 hrs on type, what are the chances of getting the base you want at the moment? Is it still a case that you will have to go into Europe for 6 months or is that just so you could do your line training? (east mids in particular)

No Ryanair bashing please i'm just after straight forward answers to the above.

Many thanks in advance

Maybe you should try under terms and endearment...

Anyway, I wouldn't count on getting your first choice when it comes to your home base. Althougn you're not a cadet I don't see why Ryan wouldn't place you where the need is greatest (i.e anywhere in Europe).

Join as Second Officer with full flight pay.

Any previous line training done at other companies means nothing. You will undergo full training but will be expected to be at line check standard by around 28 sectors as you will be trained under 'Operator Conversion Course'. (Minimum sectors a cadet will complete before line check is 68).

Most new joiners are now getting choice of base but there can be restrictions due to the requirements of the company. Also some bases are relatively small and sort after e.g GRO so seniority comes into efffect then.

Hope this helps.

I havent seen on their website anything mentioned about second officers,what are their minimum requirements for that position?

Ryanair & Accession State Citizenship (2004 accession)
 

Complex Question: Does anyone know if having accession state citizenship (i.e. Slovenia) would allow me to apply with ryanair's training scheme? My concern is that it says one must have "unrestricted right to live and work in the EU."

Well, I know that the UK has been pretty liberal with granting work permission to even the newest EU members, but some countries (Italy et al), are very restricted in granting work permission to people like me.

So would I be considered "unrestricted" in my ability to live and work in the EU??? I wonder if that is meant to read "Shengen area citizens."

Any assistance much appreciated!

Hi,
Does anyone have precise information on the difference between the Brookfield contract and standard Ryanair contract for FO's?

Just a reminder, as topics about this airline seem to attract people of various levels of experience: this forum is only for ab-initio wannabes. For experienced pilots, looking for their second or subsequent commercial employment, Terms and Endearments is the appropriate forum.

As far as I am aware, both Ireland and the UK will allow you to work. France, Germany etc will not. Not sure how it works with Irish registered aircraft, but since the initial period of work with Ryanair is classed as training, this will mean you aren't getting paid.

Wizzair in Poland has French & German nationals working under their TR training scheme, and the Poles don't allow the French or Germans the right to work in Poland, so it must be classified as 'training'.

thanks for the info nosponsor

Ryanair F/O
 

Despite what is officially stated on their website, does anybody know if ryanair is considering pilots with a 737 TR but without hours on type and without J25 experience ?

Should i apply or is it a waste of money to do so ?

Thanks

Think you will see they want 100 hours on type.

2 instructors at my flying club have gone for this, they have to self fund the 100hr rating but are 99% guarenteed a job after.

scottie.

I had two Cpt's backing my application, but that didn't help.
Still needed to have the magic 100hrs on type!!

hy, Do you think that there is better chances to be involved with FR with a TR (with no JAR25 experience) than waiting for a cadet recruitment with CAE or SAS ???

For the 100h on type, I guess that's really the minimum you must have if you want your application go on. But it may change... :ugh:

Nope, absolutely not. I would never pay for flying.....damn the airlines who do that!!!!!

A typical day at Ryanair
 

Hi all

I was wondering if someone at Ryanair could post a typical day in the life as a Ryanair pilot. Right from report in the morning to leaving work in the evening and rest period in between days of work?

Also i believe that the roster pattern is 5 on 3 off, Is that split into earlys and lates or 5 earlies 3 off and then 5 lates 3 off?

Please no Ryanair bashing here i'm just after informative posts about a day in the life of a Ryanair pilot.

Many thanks and kind regards

Roster is currently 5 days on (earlies) then 3 days off, 5 days on (lates) then 3 days off.......... Never changes, can plan a BBQ for 9 months time for one of your off days! This is slowly changing to 5 days on, 4 days off as new people join. Don't know how stable this will be as it comes with a few provisos. (New joiners are only being offered the 5/4 pattern I think).

As far as the average day goes, usually four sector days. Early starts vary from 05:25 report to 07:30. Lates start around 11:30 with the average start time of 13:30 (can be as late as 17:00). The whole fleet is scheduled back at home base before 23:30. A days duty is on average 71/2 - 8 hrs. Some extend to 11hrs others short as 4 and 1/2 hours.

You report 45 minutes before departure to complete pre-flight duties, spend the rest of the day mainly flying due to only 25 minute turn arounds (no hanging around airports). At the end of the days flying, spend 30 minutes in operations doing paper work then its off home to come back and do it all again tomorrow.
