Also
afaik, accomation and travel are paid by Wizz even for cadets (with ryanair, the overall cost is at least 35K with accomodation, licence transfer ...)
For Lauda cadet (Ryanair), it was 20K over 3 years with no possibility to self spensor.
I have nothing against ryanair (really) but it is not always shiny. Some persons (who does not speak loudly) pass the TR after paying a lot of money and do not get the job after "failing" the line training. Some other airlines (who bond their pilot) would invest more on the training to get their cadets meeting their requirements.
Anyway, at the end of the day, for low timers, all these are details. What they need is simply to get into the industry whatever the conditions
If somebody failed line training rest assured that this person would have been given all possible chances and additional training to pass. So pls don't spread misinformation here. There are always 2 sides to every story
