Ryanair mentored program for UK citizens/licences
I am looking into the integrated course for Ryanair mentored program
The schools aren't dual licensed, so with my EASA license, what does this mean for UK passport holders if we want to leave Ryanair?, I have spoken to Ryanair and they said you will get a UK base. Was wondering what the process would be like for EASA license but living in the Uk if I want to apply for easyJet or BA in the future?
Many thanks

With an EASA licence and UK passport at Ryanair, you could be based in the UK, Ireland or Morocco flying an EI-, SP- or 9H aircraft without issue.
The short answer to your final question is it isn't quick or easy. You need to convert your license from EASA to UK CAA before you can apply for BA, easyjet, TUI etc which is not a quick or easy process.
If you are the stage before getting any licence, you might want to consider getting a UK and EASA licence to keep most options open. This is true if you go for Ryanair or any other path. The additional cost and difficulty is small given the overall cost and difficulty.
If you are dead-set on the Ryanair programme, you are wrong on none being dual or UK CAA licensed. FTE Jerez offer a (the only) joint UK CAA/ EASA Ryanair one. But you likely need a lottery win to pay what they are asking.

Yes I've just seen the FTE price right as you replied, I don't know how they came up with that one
Maybe I will just ask the school (much cheaper than Jerez) if anything can be done, if not, then I might just stick with gateway 2 while doing modular + full time job, but I heard gateway 2 might be closing

As far as im concerned, gateway 2 (APS MCC) wont be closing, however you will have to pay the TR up-front, whereas the ab-initio and gatway 1 students get no up-front TR fee. I'm confused whether this means that their TR is bonded, or whether the 'all-inclusive' prices of their partner schools truly cover the cost of the TR entirely with no need for any bond? They'll soon only take cadets from their future flying programs so any 'whitetail' cadets without the RyanAir APS MCC won't be accepted in 2 to 3 years time (https://www.insta (remove this) gram.com/p/C3z2nupMrIs/). This is my understanding of it. The pilot recruitment manager (Angelo Currao) said that they're looking at increasing the TR price from the current EUR 30K on a previous Instagram Live. FTEJerez are UK CAA approved for their standard APS MCC (www.caa.co.uk/publication/download/13488) so hopefully their gateway 2 APS MCC will be applicable to both your EASA and UK license.
Where did you hear about the gateway 2 potentially closing? If this is the case in the future, Wizz will have a huge selection of cadets to choose from. Save yourself a bit of money since theyll train you on their own APS MCC too, and obviosuly the A320 TR (not sure if thats bonded or not). Alternatively, do your modular training and look at the new LoganAir mentored APS MCC with CRM Aviation (https://www.loganair.co.uk/info/care...ps-mcc-course/). There's a few apparent hiccups (Aurigny Air Services-3) with LoganAir (Loganair-3) at the moment but theyve grown well since FlyBe's collapse with 2 ATRs on order at the moment.
