Your comment is totally invalid and disrespectful.

WIZZ AIR Autumn '14
Rudeness is the new standard in aviation ,thought some of us should get used to that.Both from idiotic know it all like the "colleague" here,who finds time to "kick a man down"(I don't think they were cry babies,they were promised priority,they should be upset ) and from Wizzair but hey,airlines owe us nothing ,we can only wish they treat people better.

Sweetheart, promised priority? WTF. Competitive minimums change. It's a tough and unfair industry. Just ask these guys how unfair it is. So PFO.

The BigD,
Yes "darling", right there, face to face. I know that, I'm no mug, and not naive. Now, there's obviously people with issues that find pleasure and make it harder for these boys/girls, let it be will ya TheBigD..head. They got their PFO and that's that.
To everyone else;
I will be more constructive then some sky-Gods here. I would disregard the troll as it is certain that he wasn't always a experienced pilot was he?easier to be a keyboard warrior,wouldn't say it to your face.
September there will be a couple of outfits hiring low hours, just keep trying. Meantime look for options. It is a fact that many of the bashers here had also to start somewhere, try to look past their hypocrisy and follow what you feel is right. (I did a instructors rating, considered going to Africa etc)So get out of your comfort zone,if you really want it you will have to make sacrifices. Good luck!
p.s: I read a few of TheBigD posts and…laughable.Spends his time here bashing people, arrogant and pretentious.If he is what he says, he is no success story so take it with a pinch of salt.PFO.

You are right buttercup, I wasn't always an experienced pilot. But guess what, after my CPL, I got my CFI/CFII/MEI and instructed for a while to get more experience. Then after that it was working for a 135 operator before I finally moved on.
Me the skygod? Hardly. Never would consider myself anything of the sorts. You with your WHOLE 250 hrs TT wanting to fly an Airbus or a Boeing. You sir are the skygod, because when I had that time, I was just looking forward to flying a PA44; because I knew that I had a fairly limited skill set...Hats off to you skygod.
What a selfish little boy like you fails to realize is that you with your 250 hours is the one degrading this industry.Paying for a type rating, working for peanuts, and then wondering why the industry's T&C's have gone to
; whereas much more deserving and experienced guys wont get a shot. I think you actually do realize this but do not want to admit it; calling me out as a troll is a better way to deflect the issue. And by the way, the funny thing is the guys that do have real experience will agree with me; whereas the 250 hour wonders will call me a troll. Go figure.By the way, thanks for taking the time to read my posts. I'm honored as I honestly wouldn't spend the time going through others history.
Best of luck man. I honestly do wish you all the best in your pursuit of an airline career. Feel free to bash me Anunaki, but I won't waste my time with this thread anymore than I unfortunately have. Good luck.

WIZZ AIR Autumn '14
Hahahaha pathetic you are !! When did I ever paid for a type rating ??mine was paid for by the company!I paid for a instructors rating,I think you are confused lol 250TT ???you are so damaged "sweetheart" .Yes, Skygod,first to come here ,arrogantly pouring vinegar on peoples wounds,how dare you,what gives you the right??self entitled much?I have't received that email in case you didn't read right but I am sad some of these good people keep getting doors shut on their face .So mr CFI-IIIII astronaut ,jog on…
.
p.s- Just to add, I agree with you too,not an entry level.But guess what?it is what Wizzair wants..so people with that level of experience will apply,and so should they.I wish I have had those opportunities when I first graduated,I wish them all the best of luck.If you had the opportunity to compete for a job on the 320 before you got your CFI certificates,you wouldn't pass would you?
This is what older,experienced pilots do, you were so condescending,hence my aggressive response.I am sure many pilots with experience, like you said, will agree with you too. Shame none of them will admit that they are also at fault, they are partly the reason the industry is in a nose dive.Wasn't P2F invented in America,by experienced pilots?oh well…
I won't go to the experienced side of the forum, laugh at other peoples misfortunes. Anyway,Guys, September the recruitment season starts,let's hope for better days!!

bigd, I agree with what you're saying, people who have put in the time instructing should be the first to get the call, but thats not the market we actually live in. I have no problem with Wizz putting up the minimums, but why not do that from the start?
Its the way you tried to make the point, i have never met anyone who actually flys jets with your attitude in real life. Most working pilots just want to see people get on. Also if you are working (and well done if you are) what are you doing in the wannabes forum, did you stop by to try and tell us how much better you are or how much more you know?
If you have something to add then great, but remember that behind every post on here is a person who is just trying to get on.

Has anyone applied without that joke of the JOC?
Dost it lead to immediate PFO-letter if you do, all the other requirement met and exceeded (i.e. >1000 hrs TP, previous commercial experience, MCC etc)?
BigD, stop bashing these kids, go and get someone of your size, dude! On the N/America forum you and your pals jumped at my throat just because I suggested that USA could ease a bit the immigration law for experienced pilots and now here you are to mud these guys just because they vent their frustration? Wanna try first hand? You guys across the pond have it VERY easy compared to us, trust me. Yes, you have to break your back CFI-ing, pipeline-survey etc but it is very much a proven path that we can only dream of.
I have been the sworn enemy of P2F and SSTR/LT since day one...in VNY! Anunaki is right when he says that cr@p was invented in the USA: the names of Ameriflight and Gulfstream Academy spring to mind.Still, I think paying to make a break in this industry is disgraceful and it will bite anyone who does it in his/her arse sooner or later, they are digging their own T&Cs' grave.
What will stop it? Perhaps our own COLGAN 3407, something that is insane even to think about that is what it is: a predatory industry where no prisoners are taken (not much different than the one you Americans experience with your regionals), so make sure you get your house in order before you criticize other for their wrong-doing.

Got the same as you SlingsbyT67M, will eventually burn my licence,over a glass of scotch and some jazz. I guess it will feel like breaking up with a very expensive girlfriend.But then, every ending is a new beginning...I hated my previous job. Have a lot of soul searching to do

I hear you
I couldn't have put it better myself Anunaki!! Enough is enough! After countless years spent struggling, living from hand to mouth, instructing etc and eventually getting jet hours I am still not deemed good enough to sit in the front seat of a Wizz bus. I to hated my previous job but you would think 2600 hours would now count for something? Oh, well! Like you say it's time to sit down with my license over a glass of sherry and have the, "it's not you, it's me" conversation. This was truly the last straw...who knows what comes next!
