2/3 rds of a bottle of wine later it's a bit of a generalisation, and you really need to do a bit more research than here if you don't know the former East before joining Wizz. . . but

Romania, my other half is from there and doesn't want to go back, if you were single I might disagree with her advice but you mentioned family.

Bulgaria, well, even the Romanians avoid it again if you were single, it could be "interesting"

Sounds like the safe option "en famille" is Poland. Just watch out for the p1ssheads driving home at closing time and you'll be fine. Oh, and you are not single , so take care with the other "temptations " too

Do your research, but in this climate a job is a job and you cant afford to be choosy. So if offered take it.

Romania is so so but in Bulgaria is getting more troublesome.

With recent high profile kidnappings the police havent done anything to curb the crime wave. In fact the only thing they have done is make everyone register there mobile sim cards , armed robbery, muggings, gun crime, day time, night time drug deals on the streets, all make for nervous times in Sofia.

Although watching a muscle bound, pea brain gangster chasing after a gypsy on horse back down alexander dondukov bulavard is great entertainment.

Crime is out of hand and no indication of getting any better. I had a close shave one evening after work wow I was lucky,

But take any job you can is my opinion. With your salary you can always buy a bullet proof jacket and with a first officers salary you can always learn to run faster.

This was in my mailing today, I am thinking Wizzair have too many applications now through Agency and maybe being fed up with agency chasing them! Didn't matter to me anymore as my application was nearly one year ago and I am with job now. But, for those that want type rating with Wizz

Dear Sir, Dear Madame,

You have applied for a position as Captain or (Senior) First Officer at Wizz Air. We herewith informed you that the application procedure has been changed. From now on you have to apply directly through the website of Wizz Air: www.wizzair.com. The first selection will be made out of this database; we therefore advise you to fill it in carefully!
Once you are selected the Airline will contact you directly with further details about the procedure. If Wizz Air decides to hire you, you will receive a local contract or a contract with Confair. Please keep in mind that it can take 2 or 3 months before your application will be processed.

Furthermore we inform candidates that have applied for the type rating on the A320, that type rating courses are not available until further notice. This applies for both Captain and (Senior) First Officer positions.

Nice bit of ageism and racism there, but it's ok because it was against British males!

Time Lord?

Swish266 Do you realise how special you are?

Do you even have access to a time machine?
(The last "Cathay Cargo" interviews were in the 1990s)

To BA

Last CX Cargo ivew was in AMS in Sept 2007 for "rapid command" EU bases.
It is childish to expect that CX will inform you about the dirty little game of hiring a few DECs on the Classics, eh?!

Storm, ETOPS and Confair are the agencies. They do not provide too much, only a small amount of sick pay, rest is up to you. You get 8% on top of the salary for social security. You are paid in Euro.

The local contracts have everything paid; pension, social security, retirement, in the country which you are based in. You are paid in the local currency.

Tax is paid in Switzerland for both methods, and if you have to pay something for your "home country" you have to fix that yourself.

The last items are almost the same thoughout the network, the only thing is holiday paid which is depending on the Hungarian Labour Code for local contracts, and around 24 p.a. for the agencies mentioned above.

Are they calling for Cadet positions? My status is still frozen to "submitted for requisition".

For which kind of position you have applied? I'm not rated, almost 1000hours of experience, 700hours of turbine time.

Are they still hiring through ETOPS? I thought they only hired through their own application, but I have seen an advertise from ETOPS.
