Holding80,
Age 30, ATR-72 rated with only 25hrs of line flying(got the job in Africa through family contact, a week after induction and started flying,company was grounded but my type was paid by them).Instructors rating afterwards,now with around 830hrs.
Including my basic training TT 1100 exc. sim. Not that is worth anything as I can't have a sniff of an interview. Professional PFO collector.I feel that the Africa situation hurt me, plus I have started to feel that age goes agains't me too.
Next week I am moving back home with my parents(yes,rock bottom) as I lost everything. All of my savings went into flight training/FI. What I'm making now goes to the bank/credit cards. Nothing left for living plus my long term partner left me too(when it gets tough they bail,that's free advice boys).
Living the dream.

@Dirk85,
When did you apply? I did my application on the 13th, received the application acknowledgement, but have heard nothing since. Whats you age, TT, experience etc?
Good luck to you!

Anunaki dont forget that in BA you need level 6 ELP as well as 200h on 320, maybe you fall in the min.req. But not all the people!
Least but not last they prefer active crew and BA is not Wizzair compared so they for sure are going to have thousand of experience applicants to choose from.
By the way,anunaki, what did you do with Wizzair? Last time I heard you was waiting this season to be called!

Received this afternoon from Confair
Dear Sir,
Today we received the news from our client, Wizzair, that they don't need any First Officers(and FO Cadet level) anymore . They have reached the numbers needed for the moment already, due to the huge amount of applicants whom applied.
I'm very sorry to inform you this sad news.

Not sure it means much to be honest. I also have the same status of New, however I have taken that Taleo has gone through the form (automated) and passed it, now it's waiting for a human to sift through the thousands - or pick a few at random.

Loss of time
also applied, also kicked out after few hours
same kind of profile (250hrs, atpl-cpl-ir-mep-coffre break-mcc-joc-fcl0.55D)
ther's smth I don't understand : 3000 applicants for just a few cadets that already are pre-selected...
what's the benefit for this company to have 3000 new students spending 1h30 in fulfilling useless forms and to throw their profile away after 72 hrs ??
What if we all sent fake profiles? would they be happy to see what we are experiencing everyday : a loss of time with useless applications?
don't understand why they just don't give higher requirements, or postpone their announcement untill the waiting list is sold? why don't clearly announce "come to the open days or forget about it" ?
not fair !

I received this same e-mail yesterday.
Confair just posted the position a couple of days ago, I sent my app in on the first day. Why bother even posting it, or getting a recruitment agency to do hiring for you if you don't need any more applicants/candidates..
I think after over 4 years of trying for Wizz I have gotten to the point where it would be more beneficial to stay where I am and try to progress here with the planned hiring in the majors. Was never meant to be, and maybe for the better.
One thing I learned is Wizzair has a very random hiring process. Never understood what they are looking for, and why.
Good luck .
