Ryanair FFA Ab-Initio Question's
 
Hello everyone,

I'm planning to apply to the Ryanair FFA and have a few questions that I haven't been able to get straight answers on from the flight schools themselves, as they tend to be quite vague.
  1. I'm planning to apply through Bartolini as my primary choice, specifically through their new dual EASA/CAA program, though I'm open to doing either route separately if it improves my chances of getting onto the program. My main struggle is getting a sense of how competitive the selection process is. Could anyone who has been through the application process give me a rough idea of the acceptance rate? (e.g. 5%, 50%, 90%?)
  2. I understand there is a 6 month cool off period after rejection, but I'm unclear on whether this applies to the specific partner school or the specific program. For example, if I were rejected by Bartolini could I immediately apply to AFTA, or if I applied to the dual EASA/CAA program and was rejected could I immediately apply to just the CAA or EASA only program?
Any clarity on either of these points would be greatly appreciated.
