People mainly come on these forums to complain.

Also this mainly seems to be a English speaking forum where the majority of pilots seem to be from W. Europe. To them the conditions may be appalling. While to other citizens from countries with Wizzair basing, it is likely they make probably more then 90% of people they know with Wizzair. Of course Wizzair uses this to it's advantage, and lately seem to prefer pilots based from those countries, because the W. Europeans bail ASAP, because for them it's a terrible deal, especially if they are commuting on top of it all. After-all it is not home.

Another thing is P2F is generally something that needs to go away. Before the recent economic break-downs it was not a common practice. It picked up speed in the mid-2000s, and here we are. So pilots who remember the days where an airline properly paid for you training, are still rubbed the wrong way by this. Especially being the costs are of it are very high, and for people with experience, and with that, usually a wife and maybe kids, paying so much for a TR is ludicrous, and goes against basic principles (and it does).

Just do your thing, live your life, and take what you read here as an alternative way of thinking, because this place can make you literally depressed sometimes. On the other hand, it also often provides good information. Cheers.
