Sowotanoa,
I guess you be an expert having just got your first job less than 2 weeks ago!
Such arrogance at such an early stage tut tut.

I think PB is leaving or will be pushed.

Word in STN is that he has solved the training and pilot numbers problem for Ryanair but will be dumped as DOB and EW are about to start WW3 on the pilots.

Pay cuts, demotions and benefits slashed are coming. More REPA court cases anyone?

I bet the Gingerman DH will be the next GMFOPS.

Can you substantiate any of your claims... or are they suppositions?

Assessment fee Ryanair

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me if it is true, that open day applicants don't have to pay the assesment fee of GBP 252,-?

Kind regards

You may wish to ask Ryan directly. That way you won't be suprised either way if you attend the open day assement.

Personally, I know from at least half a dozen of guys who got in without any fees- they just attended the open day, had their interview and got a contractual offer right away.

I believe it's true. So, at the moment, new recruits are a mix of those who have paid for a sim ride and those who haven't

Welcome to MOL´s Ryanair, the guy who negotiates- and deals with each individual pilot...

Heard some have to pay.

Reckon if you are type rated you'll get away with it. This is typical of FR, different terms and conditions for all even before you start.

If you are sucessful in your application the best thing you can do is sign on to the repaweb.org website. This is free and a great way to communicate with all FR pilots in all FR bases.

On PB - I have been told that he was offered roles at EZY and NetJets. Many have asked him directly in STN if he is leaving. He is laughing it off and saying no.

He issued a letter today with pay cuts which has started WW3.

PB may have laughed them off, but every man has his price! Money talks.

And what, threaten that anyone joining couldn't join the union?

I can see MOL just quivering with fear at that idea

Talking

That will be a very good idea. Someone posted not too long ago that ryanair sent an internal mail that the've only lost six pilots in the past three months. But then everytime I speak to the man in charge of thier training in Amsterdam the numbers ryanair asked for keeps going up. Two months ago it was 150 for next year last week when I spoke with him the number had jumped to 300. If very few have left are they planning to get rid of experienced and expensive ones to replace them with eager new pilots willing to do anything to get on the aviation job ladder.

Ryanair. Truth. Not compatible remember? I can think of at least 10 in the last few weeks, and that's just from the couple of bases I hear things from. rolleyes:

A recruitment ban would be a superb idea if people would actually abide by it. However, we all know there are always a few who will f**k it up for everyone else. Better to let them come in, then realise what a serious mistake they've made and convert them into willing REPA recruits.
On the other hand, if a ban worked it would solve ryanairs problems in a matter of weeks. Can wannabes take that leap of faith to better themselves?

As you are working for Ryanair, you have assumedly signed up to REPA, if not WAKE UP NOW MAN FOR CRISSAKE . A wealth of advice / options is available there, whether you are a member of IALPA , BALPA, or indeed the Monster Raving Loony Party . You are not alone, and your problem is not unique, contact REPA ASAP or regret at your leisure. In the meantime, sign / agree to nothing and try and stall them for time. Good news should be coming along in 6 days time.

Just the small matter of a supreme court ruling which will decide whether RYR, like everyone else, has to abide by the law, indeed a law which they, 9 years ago, were directly responsible for inspiring. I guess you have no connections to RYR or you would undoubtedly be aware of this ( I hope).
