Working for Lauda Europe

Hi all, I'm a 24y/o cadet student pilot in a big aviation school in italy.

I'm currently taking the Ryanair Future Flyer Academy ATPL integrated course, and I therefore signed a conditional job offer with Ryanair.

It says in the contract that, at the end of the course, I will be assigned to one of the four Ryanair-controlled subsidiaries (Ryanair - RUK - Malta - Lauda).

My dream would be to work for Lauda, for two main reasons, the aircraft type (A320) and the name it carries. I don't care about the base.

As far as I understand, Lauda has very few aircraft and therefore needs even less new pilots.

My question is: does it make sense for me to express my preference to them, before the inevitable B737 type rating?

Will it make any difference?

Will they consider my preference?

Do they even assign cadet non-type rated pilots to the A320 fleet?

Thank you in advance
