Ryanair has announced a new partnership with British company VA Airline Training to train pilots. Would-be pilots undertaking the VA programme are trained using Ryanair procedures with an expected 300 individuals expected to be assessed and trained over the next 3 years. “This new Ryanair-VA Airline Training programme will provide a steady pipeline of talented and professional pilots,” said the airline’s head of crew training captain, Senan O’Shea. “Ryanair will hire up to 1,000 pilots per annum over the course of the next 5 years,” he added. Aer Lingus is also seeking new pilots to train and says it is particularly focused on female candidates. <br/>
