On earlies, perfect. Less than 90 minutes from landing to being on the beach.
On lates, not so much.
Pearlharbour; look at the cost of living in most of the bases and what competitors are paying though. When working for an operator in one of the countries Wizz have a base, I earned about 2/3 of the salary Wizz are offering, but the quality of life was better than in the UK (especially London area) by far.
It's the same in Poland. Net salary about 30% less, cost of living just under half (including not needing a mortgage). Pay isn't everything, it's the quality of life that comes with it. For reference, I spend about 60% of my take home on an 'average' year, about half of that spending goes in mortgage payments.
