Ryanair are one of the most popular airline for recruiting low hour pilots (250+). I know at least 10 guys that have gotten a job with Ryanair after they have obtained their fATPL.

They have stopped recruiting at the moment tough, no training captains.

Ryanair - Some Thought-Provoking Info

How easy
 

I know ryan's in a break till the newe year before they start recruitng again, but is it gernerally quite easy for someone to get a placement with Ryanif they are a good pilot and willing to pay or is it a case of waiting in a long queue and never being acknowledged or waiting in a long queue and then eventually you will get an offer.

I checked out several wbesites and there seems to be a concenses with many that if you pay then your in. Is this right.

In reguards to Easyjet, again, would a pay for the type rating with GECAT be easier than CTC and secondly is it very difficult to get on to a GECAT scheme?

cheers,

Start Date for Ryanair Interview+Simcheck
 

Rumour has it that there are no places for DE FO's until April, after the backlog of cadets ex CAE & SAS are finished.:confused:

What does that mean?

What it means is, guys and girls are coming out of SAS/CAE, and going straight online (after base training, naturally) without much delay. Lucky ba****ds! .

A good six months at home before line training did me a world of good!

Rumour has it, and I mean rumour, all the slots for cadets/First Officers are full for courses in 2006. :D

And just as I finish my training this has to happen, typical.

Hi everybody!!!
Can anyone tell me what the Ryanair assesment day is going to be about? and by this I mean what kind of departure/arrival you fly and what kind of emergency you have to face!

ryanair assessment day
 

Hi everybody!!!!:) :) :)

I'im supposed to go through the Ryan assessment day on september and I need some more info about it, and by that I mean what kind of departure or arrival they usually make you do it, what kind of emergency if any etc etc...

if anyone knows anything about it please let me know!!! even few things will mean much to me!!!

Just wondering, are you type rated? Because I thought they were not hiring until next January.

Hello ,

I am very interested too because I have an assessment in September.
I am not type rated...

no unfortunately I don't have a TR.... anyway I have applied as a cadet!!!!
INFO PLEASE........... please!!!!!!!!!!
thanks
Julia

if you use the search function you will find plenty of info on the assesment day... In general: depart on a SID, airwork, eng fire, single eng full proc ILS. Everything flown raw data. They change it every now and then. The best way you can prepare is to get a couple of hours in the 732 sim before the assesment!

Ryanair Application Waiting time
 

Hi all,

Just wondering what is the waiting time from date of online application to one of the schools, to the date of the sim check?

Thanks.

P.s. I have done a search but I'd like to know some up to date info.

I registered at both schools in mar/april 06 - never had any news since then...

I think that if you really wanna go that direction - start stalking them!

I dont want to go in that direction but I may have no choice.

Ryanair sim
 

I did the sim check for Ryanair about a year ago. It's in a 732.

It was depart Liverpool 27, climb to non-standard 5000' (the SID is 4k). You will have to select climb power at 1500 agl and accelerate and clean up at 3000 agl whilst intercepting the radial in the climb.

I think you depart flap 1 but it could be flap 2, I can't remember. Sorry I can't remember the EPR power setting either.

Then you do steep turns in both directions, then some ADF tracking. Then vectors towards an ILS 27 - he asked me what entry I would use for a hold and, when I answered, he didn't bother to make me fly it. I believe Dublin is also a common sim location as well.

Then I got an engine fire and had to shut the engine down followed by vectors to an SE G/A.

The recall items you will need to know are:-

PF calls for the "Engine Fire and Severe Damage Recall Items"

- Affected thrust lever - close
- Affected engine start lever - close
- Affected engine fire warning switch - pull and rotate for fire - (just pull for damage)

That will be it for the shutdown - you won't have to use the QRH.
All actions should be exectuted by PNF and confirmed by PF - show good CRM and clear English (very multicultural at RYR). If you need something, MCP selections, radios tuning etc - ask the PNF for it - practice giving Jeppessen style briefings - use the top boxes.

All is raw data - no AP / FD or AT except for briefings.

If you've never flown a jet sim before, unless you are a sky god, you will probably need some practice first to pass.

However, only take Ryanair if it's your last option. You will be seriously out of pocket for a further 2 years at least.

CTC ATP Scheme is a much better deal and will place you with better companies.

Nah its totally different now. Its a departure out of Luton and then a steep turn followed by the NDB approach. There is no engine fire (2 engine approach).

Well, same boat here! I would be curious to know how they go about their recruitment. It seems very unclear! You never heard from them, and you do not know what they are looking for.
