CapedVulture I can assure you that you will be feeling every bit as fatigued at Wizz Air as you currently are now but you will be considerably poorer into the "bargain". Multiple transitions from lates to earlies and back occur every roster pattern with not even a nod to a Fatigue Reporting and Management System. Controlled rest takes place on almost every sector because everyone is flying fatigued and/or sick and not able to take leave because (contract depending) there is either no sick pay at all or something woefully insignificant.

Horrendously long duties with minimum rest will occur all the time and you will be flying right on the legal maximum every day, month and year. People will be revisiting these kind of posts in the not too distant future when the inevitable smoking hole occurs but I will not be gleefully dancing saying "I told you so".

The salary is pitiful and contains no pension, loyalty bonus or share purchase system; all of which you will find at easyJet (in a UK base anyway). I have worked for both and easyJet is another world to Wizz Air, it is vastly superior in every single aspect. People who moan about working for easyJet should go work for Wizz for six months and see if they come back with the same outlook. Cannot comment on Ryanair.
