Ryanair SSTR

Does any people know if Ryanair are still accepting applications for self sponsored type rating FO's?

I have looked but cant find a definitive answer.

Please, no debate on paying for type rating!

I think you will just have to follow the link on the FR website and ask the flying school that does the training.

Last time I heard, people were being interviewed during December but I don't know if that have stopped since then. Have you sent your CV to the training provider yet?

They currently recruit direct entry type rated captains, and cadets for sstr, both via the web site. I think all of the training is now in house at east mdlands training (Ryanair)

Try...

A few pals of mine are at FR and said they have stopped taking people on for the time being. However, try this website and speak to a C.Karlsson (I think that's right). May be able to get some more answers there.

They've stopped for the meanwhile.

I would imagine they will start again in the middle of the year. I think all the FO's they need for this year are either doing type ratings or have been given a date.

Just wanted to express my surprise, and pleasure, that this thread was not hijacked by the usual suspects. Simple question, simple answer, well done guys, how refreshing

EI-CON, do you know when your friends applied? I've got a friend who is tearing his hair out because he applied late Nov/early Dec and hasn't heard anything yet.

They both finished there MCC about Oct/Nov and applied straight away so id tell him to hold out. Maybe no harm in sending in a few updated CV's to them either.

I finished my MCC in July, myself and my sim partner both did the same flight training course and had similar results etc. He got called in September and I didnt until December. Just something to bear in mind as we both applied the same day. Tell your friend not to give up as a call could be just around the corner.

Given all the experienced jet captains looking for work, what sort of experience would be required to be competetive? I have about 2000 command 737NG.

The minimum for direct entry is 3000 hrs total and 500 P1 on an NG. The rest is down to your C V, who you know, the luck of the draw, etc etc,
Lots of new guys lately from Globespan, Jet 2, XL etc.
Good Luck

Hey guys,

How did you apply? Via CAE of BFSAA?

Cheers!

Does anyone have any ideas about how to get on at Ryan (as a captain) in the case of not already being type rated? I am 8000+, mostly PIC in airline operations in the US and Europe, currently a CRJ captain in Europe, and have FAA and JAA ATPL. Any chance of a senior FO course or something that could put me to the left seat within 6-12 months?

Sback,
I was in your position three years ago, joined FR with a hope of command within reasonable time. Still stuck as FO, I know about more people in the same situation. So be careful with what you wish for!

Really? That blows. So I suppose it would be fair to say that Ryan works out if you are already qualified, but not for any career progression, huh?

SR, You won't as you do not meet the criteria. You need 500P1 on the NG, and have flown the NG recently. Given the numbers form Sky Europe. GS etc there's not much hope. Generally, once you are " fast Tracked" you need 2 LPCs and a winter season to be upgrade considered.
They were looking for CRJ guys in Greece a while ago, Cpts pay is poor, very poor!

Yeah I applied at both places a while ago, no new since then. Have called both SAA and CAE, but they refuse to give any information about the status of applications or developments. I was just wondering if there is an alternative way off applying, but apparently there isn't.

Thanks for the info
