Neither narrow minded or short sighted, merely a reference to a web site that was listed in the times travel supplement. It really is quite amusing. Not as funny as calling a Ford cortina a fort though....

Did I comment on your flying skills ? No I commented on your lack of experience and no money can buy that

I hope you grow up before you get this command and realise where you are at is nothing special and your inate cockiness will not endear you to the captains

and if you think flying skills are the be all and end all for commands it shows how much you have to learn - you're not in cessna land now .

Where am i supposed to get experience unless i join an airline and fly? DON'T tell me to join an air taxi company or parachute drop or crop dusting, because they need more hours than i have. The only other way is to hire an aeroplane and build hours.... or is that bad because i'm p2f again? :rolleyes: honestly.

767, slightly off topic, but to be fair, there are the likes of para dropping opportunities etc here in the UK if people look hard enough. I recently arranged para flying for a low hours PPL guy, and also tee'd up someone else(fATPl low hours) with some glider towing. Admittedly neither pays any money, but it certainly puts hours and experience in the logbbok.

i would take the ryanair assessment mate, but it's right on my list after tescos and morrisons. You are obviously out of your depth here but suffice to say I have been operating in a " multi
crew environment "for the past 13 years .Actually operating that is not reading an atpl text book.

I wish you luck, but you need to mature, quickly.

I payed for my type rating. Never looked back. Ryanair is a good place to be for me. And I dont regret joining.

Perhaps a little bit of respect for people that actually do partake in everyday jobs like working in Morrisons and Tescos, someone has to do these jobs.

You encourage maturity? Lead by example then with a mature statement.


There is a real world out there beyond LNAV and HDG SELECT.

Hi skyward, will also be starting on the 12th at EME, PM me and we can get a facebook group going :)

Hi I was just wondering how long it takes to get a reply if you pass or fail the assessment. Who calls you, I was called up by CAE, are they the ones who will contact you good or bad news?

Thanks for any info:ok:

fly786 ,

Can you give me some info on the assessment at RYR ? Obviously you succeeded . Congrats !

Thanks ,

Stick to the topic
 

This thread is about those going to train with Ryan air.

It is not a thread for RYR bashing nor for flaming individuals who post here- they have just as much right to post as anyone.

If you can't 'play the ball' but want to 'play the player' then your posts will be deleted.

Oh dear God! Here it goes again.

HWB, perhaps it's time for a Ryanair Hamsterwheel thread where all the hot-headed, misinformed, bullsh1t flame-wars can go. Unfortunately, you can't ask a simple question or have a rational discussion about RYR on pprune without it descending into anarchy. Normally it's the same old trolls, with the same old chips on their shoulders repeating the same old factually incorrect, 5th-hand rumours.

The truth is that the RYR pilots I know are generally very content and it would be useful to be able to have sensible discussions on here by filtering out the dross.

Anybody thinking of getting a quick command, think again.
From 15th of july- if you´re not on a command course you will need 5000 hours for command. It is something to do with insurance requirement, i.e. they are getting it cheaper with more experienced crews.
the times of 25 year old capt´s are over.

MindTheGap...............whats your source??? :confused:

Talking to the base TRE a couple of days ago re command and nothing about 5,000hrs! :eek: Only thing potentially slowing the number upgrades down will be the lack of further a/c orders. Which would effect those for upgrade around 2012.

Lets say i'm lucky and fly 900 hours every year, it will take me 5.5 years to get command. or "5000hours" i'll still be 25 :)

Here's a facebook Group for those starting on the 12th of July:

Due To Stalkers :E: Inbox me for Direct Link

No mention of 5000hours here either, I think thats just a made up statement, for the insurance companies to care there would have had to have been incidents / accidents involving low hour captains, and thankfully there is not a lot of that going on. :ok:

Keep up the good work chaps.

A few days ago I had a curry with four Line Training Captains who had just attended the LTC's conference at STN earlier that day. Pretty good curry it was too. Despite specifically discussing prospects for command upgrade in the next couple of years there was no mention of any 5000 hrs requirement. Funny that. You'd think that maybe something like that would be mentioned to the LTCs at such an event.

Truth is that prospects for command will stagnate somewhat after the remaining aircraft orders have been delivered, and upgrades will come from attrition rather than expansion. However, I think this 5000hr claim is most likely the sort of misinformation that I was ranting about a few posts back.

Do you honestly think you will get 900 hours a year? Judging by some of your posts on pprune and the fact that you've adopted "ryan-air" as your middle name(top tip- dont put links of your facebook on here), along with claims that your already a ryanair pilot despite not even completed a type rating let alone flown any passengers; suggests to me that you have a great deal of growing up to do and this will show from day one at ryanair.

I wish you the best of luck........

Torque tonight; ive heard the "goss" from some LTC's about the conference, strangely enough absolutely nothing of this sort was mentioned!:rolleyes:

I'll change what i wrote here, i'm not going to let this thread descend into chaos like every other RYR thread does. If its relevant to you, inbox me and i'll send you a link to the group. So we can discuss things like accomodation and other bits and pieces. Thats what i'm here for.

Anyone starting the ground school on the 26th of July and the type rating on 9th August in east Midlands?
