If I may ask what aircraft were you rated on already. As I am not rated and submitted my application mid september. The last time i spoke with CAE in early december they told me they wer dealing with those that applied in april so if you applied in june I am assuming they've moved forward a bit.

A320 but i have a friend which has the 73 and the story was the same.
cheers

Why not take your rating to easyjet where you will have a better chance as they are looking for bus drivers. Just my own opinion. Did they call or sent you an email.

They sent an email.
I think it's obvious that i'm interested in Easy. The difference is that i have applyed to CAE on June and i got rated in November.
Anyway easy wants 50Hrs on Type and i have not at the present time.

Bye

hi,

I have applied in April, and I start my training with CAE on the 320 next week.
(not ryanair).

it is hell expensive (24'000+8000euro for base training)
add accommodation, food, transport,license fee,...

regrettably, this is the only training/job I have found which "worths" the money spent .I wanted be sponsored, but no luck!

dartagnan,

which company is? Vueling?

I got also contacted by CAE on the 4th. Is there a chance of getting bonded? I don't have any possibility nor will to self sponsor, so bonding is the only possibility. If anyone is interested: Applied ~1year ago, TT400 at the time, no TR.

Hi, the only possibility of getting bonded as i understand could be that you have already a rating with Hrs.
I asked to the person which contacted me if there was a possibility to get bonded and the answer was no.
Even more if you are already rated for them you have to undergo again for the same course if you want to join the selected airline.
Man only one thing, i know it can look like an hell of money but beleive me if an airline calls you and like with ryan u get a job after it is well worth it.
Just my coin.

Thanks Manuelvi for your reply, from reading these endless RyanAir threads I have a feeling that these things could negotiable, I may be very wrong though.

I know the information is encryped in these long threads, but if I'm very concerned about the starting salary. What is one to expect when the paychecks start rolling and when does this happen? If anyone has current info, please...

Thinking of paying for Type Rating
 

Evening all!

After spending the last 6 months post training looking to take my first steps onto the Airline Pilot career ladder without any success of anything happening as yet I am thinking of trying to raise the cash to pay for a TR.
Whats the best way to go about trying to get an assesment with Ryan Air? Do I need to have a contact there to get in and do they have an age limit(I'm 33)?
I obviously would prefer to have an offer of a job before shelling out £20,000 on the TR.
Any advice would be really appreciated as this is a new road that I am travelling!!

Cheers:eek:

Ramshorn,

Tried to PM you some info but your mailbox is full :ugh:

Hi

Can anyone please comment (preferebly a RYAN F/O) on what salaries for FO's are like when fully trained for example:

What would a fully trained FO (not SO), UK based Ryanair (not contracted) earn on average per yr BEFORE tax (i.e salary)..Just an average idea.

Any feedback gratefully recieved
Cheers

Please read this whole thread. Then do a search on Terms and Endearments. Further salary information can be had from PPJN. All the information is available already.

Isn´t Ryanair taking more JAR 25 first officers?
 

Isn´t Ryanair taking more JAR 25 first officers (no 737 type rating)? I have been looking in their website but found nothing

You where looking to fast then i believe;

http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/about...eers&ref=10002

If you go all the way down you will see a table explaining the minimun requierements for entry as Captain, First Officer and Cadet. ;) Cadets need 200hours fixed wing. As first officer you must have a type rating and minimum 500hrs on type it says, so..

Know, if they are accepting cadets or not is another thing, you will have to check with them. Better to start as that than nothing. :ok:

Good luck!

TheOne83,

If you look, First Officers are to be 737 rated. No generic JAR25 experience allowance as for Captain. There used to be.

Web Master finger trouble?

I few days ago in the Ryanair website you could see there were another possibility to aply directly from their website if you had at least 1500 hours JAR 25 experience. You can still see it at CAE web

Yeah perhaps... didn't i wrote that First Officers must have a type rating and 500hrs on type??:ooh: Opss.. i believe i did :p

If succesful non-rated first officers would have to acquiere a B737-800 rating.. So if i don't get it wrong you can apply as first officer with and with out type rating, but if u don't have one u will have to get it before u join the airline and start working for them.

cheers!

With this paragraph, looks like a row is missing:

RyanAir Pay SSTR Scheme
 

I wonder if a newly recruited F/O could give me an up to date figure of what you get paid whilst on the TR scheme please.

I understand that whilst doing the type rating the pay is nil but what do you get paid during line training? This will form the basis of whether I can afford to go down this route?

Mods - Please do not merge this thread and yes I have searched the forum already but keep getting conflicting stories. Any up2date accurate figures via PM or otherwise would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers............TJ
