Gents!
Beleive or not I have first-hand info about wizz.
The CEO is the previous MALEV CEO,a very talent and successfull MANAGER.The politics fired him from MALEV after he reduced all losses and 2 days after 11th Sept arrived to SEA "let's discuss the B737-NG rates again".
Our current government is very gratefull to the talent people nowadays but it is another story.
I am from Malev but please keep threat it confidental.
2 A32O going to be based in BUD.17 pilots -CAPTs and F/Os will leave my employer on 1st o March.14 from the CRJ5OO 2 from Fokker 7O,1 f/O from B737-NG.
The future we will see,My soul is with him to create a low-cost carrier in Hungary and very proud it is created by Hungarians.
So the first round is filled.In case WIZZ business plan works,more and more 32Os will be based in BUD and recruitments will be published.Check the website of WIZZ,the F/O vacancy has been removed now.
Yes,WIZZ plan is to create the East-European Ryanair,4O busses planed within 5 years but step by step.The Chief Pilot in BUD was CAPT on TU-154,B737 (MALEV) B747-4OO(EVA) and finally Chief Pilot on CRJ5OO(MALEV).
WIZZ wishes to open other bases in East Europe,they dont want to compare with Ryan,easy.
According to Malev,agreement established with Hainan Airlines to make BUD (PAX and Cargo) their E.U. hub,BUD-Peking,BUD-Shanghai from August,3O wannabe on various aircraft courses(F7O,CRJ).
3rd 767 arrives in august,I have the slot for 767 type-rating 1st March so I will leave my "beloved" 737.
767s will be replaced by 33Os from next year as the result of the very hard pressure from the E.U.Yeh,we are flag-carrier.
That is for now,please everybody wish for us good luck,as I do it for all of You.
Dear All of You!
Please be a little patient!It is only a start-up low-cost carrier.
Belive me,the management are very fair,but they MUST take-off on 1st May.
P.s. :I am not working there!
