So when an airline offers this , despite its herrings, I still consider it an opportunity worth taking and building on and progressing forward even if joining as a Senior FO for 6 months, which is the minima for upgrade in the company. It wouldnt take me much more than a year to convince them to upgrade me. There is also the added advantage am getting essentially a cheap type rating with an assured job (I had paid for the same rating through my nose in 2010 with employment not honoured by a rogue Low Cost Airline and has long expired now) Even by paying upfront that small percentage Wizz Air asks despite under the circumstances of Covid let downs is still attractive. My lenses are not not focused as negatively as yours perhaps. I see a future progressing to wide bodied Airbuses elsewhere if experience at Wizz does not turn out a happy one. If I join them and hold that job at least I gain security's sake.My family lives in AbuDhabi so it is all advantageous for me. Have you been even furloughed before? Any spell on unemployment whilst you had to pay for your recurrent training to be marketable? Look...any company you might join might have stuff you might not like or people you might loathe to work with. Just swallow the red pill and move on living the dream rather than dreaming with empty pockets to fly again. That is my take. The glass might be a 1/4 full..bit a sip os better than a dry glass wouldnt you say?
Hello...
I am wondering why you haven't applied as DEC rather than applying as FO? Not enough hours on the left seat?
Good luck!
