Only if they pass the command training... Even then they will only get a tiny pay rise each year for 5 more years then stagnate salary wise compared to someone working for OS who overall has a better package once you include fringe benefits (and the ability to get a more regular pay rise) etc.
Fast upgrades are a trap to keep you stuck in the LCC/ULCC level of airlines. Long term aiming for a legacy (especially if you are a younger first officer) is just far superior to what Wizz can offer you from a career with them
