Well this thread has certainly prospered.
Remarking on how the other ones spell, bashing one another up for some lousy HOT procedure? Jeez

me thinks that Sk111 sounds like a superman...maybe a SAS dude?

I hope this offends someone...

Bengt, your very existence is an offence to mother nature herself.

Why don't you all just drop it huh?

can this be true? did I manage to NOT offend a sas-pilot at this very forum, must be because I spelled it out, and to show their supreme excellence they denied ever being offended....

post written with heavy sarcasm, maybe leathal if faint hearted or diabetic.

and yes knold, I am the one they talk about...he who offended mother nature....she was the only one left after i offended all the other women on this planet....

Isn't it time to bring out the old discussion about bowlinggreppet?

Hey Aviationtrainer,
All very well that you teach students to ask when in doubt.
And no, as opposed to sk111 I´m not superman (at least that´s what me wife says), and lo and behold if I had to take an ATPL exam today, it wouldn´t be pretty.
But I sure know about when my aircraft has more stuff attached to it, than is healthy to fly with. Ok, I fly in places where ice is much more common than further south.
But I will still expect any Commander who operates at our latitudes to know when to spray it too. The day I have to operate into Quito, Equador or other high up places, rest assured that I will have checked up on high altitude operations.
I can´t remember all the HOT times off hand, but that´s what I´ve got a little piece of paper in my plates book for.
Still ain´t impressive to have to ask a stationmanager.

Well well, happy New year,

Brgds Zico

Dear Friends, as far as I am concern, no matter if Brasilian 737 pilots fly most of the time in Brasil´s hot weather , they all have pretty good training on the subject " Winter Operation " including de-icing procedures (HOT) and bla, bla , bla. They even fly to some locations in south america acctually in ice conditions.
I believe it was an isolate case if it really happened, and it is not right to say the brasilian pilots don´t have experience with this or that, and just to finsh, yes , there´s a few good Brasilian pilots joining RyanAir next January.
Happy New Year.
Zeke

Well of course they get good training. I have 2+ friend that work for BRyan and they had very thurough training.

You go B! Keep on swinging!

so zekeigo, are you the brazz joining?

Now we got on the wrong track!

Dear Bengt Engel,
Negative
I used to fly this small planes long time ago,
Zeke

Could somebody with a better understanding for the english language than me (Danish) explain the meaning of this sentence found on Ryanairs recruiting pages.

"Successful non-type rated candidates will be offered employment subject to securing a 737-800 type rating from a training organisation approved by Ryanair."


Thanks

If you do not have a B737-800 type rating on your license but you other vice fill the qualifications and pass the interview. Ryan air is offering you employment as long you are willing to buy your B737NG type from some other training organization approved by Ryan air.

I.e. CAE in Hoofdorp, Netherlands. That is where everyone I know got their rating.

Already last year there were brazillians flying for FR.

DB

SAS flight academy has just been approved as a Ryanair SIM training center

What about the part where they ask for 1,000 JAR 25 aircraft time, does that exempt you from having to pay for the TR yourself?

THANKS for clearing that up. Does anybody know an approximately price for a 737NG type rating course (F/O) JAR.
