The good news is that they have so many aircraft arriving plus losing pilots to other better-paying airlines that they are being forced to up their game in terms of salary etc. They are also quite a professional outfit by all accounts, which means that you are not facing some of the depressing pressures you can experience when working for some of the bottom feeders. Typically, this can be issues like you have a technical problem the Chief Pilot says is not really a big deal even if the MEL says 'no dispatch'. Or you can have a performance issue at dispatch and the captain says performance is only a guide for people who think they are likely to lose an engine, which you of course will not. Do you want to be a team player and keep your job or be a loser and spout lots of stupid rules nobody cares about? And so it goes on. To be free of all that is a great relief and I hear no such reports from Wizz. That alone makes them worth looking at frankly.
I completely agree, and the "just" culture here at Wizz is great. The training department is fantastic and the crews are very professional. Just need a smidgens more cash!
