In this context it's hard to understand the need for so many cadets as the MAX-10 is not even certified, it's a bit premature if you ask me.
Some of you will get "lucky" and end up in DUB, STN or CRL, (still jumping the queue) but TIA, SOF, KRK and WMI are more probable.
With a Malta or DAC contract it's not much of a problem if there is a high crewing ratio as your basic salary will be high enough to compensate for the lack of flying. If you are with a buzz contract you are entirely dependent on flight hours and there is no minimum.

Hello guys! I’ve seen that recently a lot of guys have been sent to Buzz for line training. My training contract is with Ryanair DAC, can they still send me to Buzz for line training? Or do you think there’s still a chance I get Bergamo or Malpensa, as I selected these as base preferences?
I heard a lot of people got what they wanted in the past, but I don’t know if it’s still the case now as I see Ryanair needs a lot of pilots in Eastern Europe.

We kinda already expect that, but we are still wondering how they are going to fit 1000 cadets on Buzz this year alone. I think many will skip the line.

When applying to Ryanair you accepted that you'd go to any base.

Buzz, Malta and DAC are all interchangeable. They mean nothing for where they can send you. It is all Ryanair.

Apparently thats all they are doing at the moment.

False info.
You can be sent anywhere both for LT and as permanent. The only good news is we're expecting more than 1000 cadets in 2026 and 2027, they just can't send all of them to Buzz.
