well to keep the story/advice short and sweet I would no recommend leaving your current employer to join wizzair in particular the UK unless you are a cadet.
if you are a cadet striaght from flight school or very little flying experience, flying something small with not many hours then yes apply for wizz get as many hours in 2 years like everyone does and then shift on the BA/VS or J2 if you want to live up north.
if you have significant jet/airline experience then I really wouldn’t recommend coming to this airline. Every year the attrition rate is 30% which is incredibly high. But it’s like that for a reason. The rosters are completely unstable and constantly changing for extremely early starts which can report from 4am so imagine what time you need to get up and prepare to finishing after 2:30AM without a delay. They will schedule these duties with little to no regard of human that is performing them.
chronically understaffed with both crew and office staff which makes communication and getting an email response a massive chore.
motivation is very low both in cabin and flight deck much of the discussion is which airline are you moving too and how terrible is your roster.
Unfortunately or fortunately it was not like this or as bad pre covid, it was much more pleasant and bearable.
but unfortunately this is all being lead from the very top and until the CEO gets fired nothing is likely to change. Which is surprising actually because if you look at the financial performance of the company it’s quite poor higher debt levels that Easy or Ryan and and no assets to leverage themselves, just a cash bucket that if it runs low or out the show is over.
if you are looking for a quick command go to the many other airlines in the UK nowhere has a long command time now just save your self the mess of joining a new company just to update your CV 6 months in and getting back on the job hunt.
