Its incredible how much BS you guys can make in 15 pages, why do we not rename the thread "****talk about Wizz Air by Syntax Error and Skipping Classes", who by the way, not many people liked to fly with in the days, and after reading the comments here, no wonder.

To get back on track for new people:

Wizz Air is a Hungarian Company, formed by a CEO who did not want to have MALEV conditions with Unions etc. hence if you try to form any, then you are out. Simple and known since the start.

Fatigue was and still is present, but honestly as we have seen recently, this is present in many LCC and even in some dubai companies, again aviation has been moving towards more flying hours in the past years, nothing new. Recently with the new EU rules, things have changed. Do we like it? No...Can we do anything about it without unions? No...What if you say something? Then you get a verbal warning probably. Those are know facts, so better shut up. Is it good to shut up? no...but since you decided to join the company, you decided to join it with the T/C that you were presented with, so do not come after that and complain, then just leave and find something better.

Wizz Air is an EEC mentality airlines, and run by some, not all, corrupt people in the pilot and the cc department, sadly, and corrupt people hire corrupt people under them so that will not change. You just have to fly, do you job, and go home to your family and that is it.

As it being an EEC airline, the salary is corresponding to something from those countries. You will not get a Norwegian or a British salary here, forget it. Again you know about it, nothing new, just leave then if you are not happy.

Many airlines are doing dodgy methods when it comes to salaries, see Ryanair fx, and now also Norwegian with their many new contract agencies...however Wizz Air now has local contracts in every country, which at least is a step in the right direction.

You join Wizz Air, if you are a local pilot who wants to fly and live like a king in your home country, or if you are a cadet level pilot or if you want to get back to EU after some time abroad. If you want to get 10K in salary each month and get picked up by a limo before the flight and get free coffee on every sector, then dont join.

You can call all this prostitution or whatever, but at the end of the day, you fly in brand new aircrafts, with a decent salary for where you are living(net in cash at the end of the month) with good maintenance and flying with some good collegues. Get the hours and experience and then bail the ship if you fancy something else. Wizz Air is mainly the start, not the end for many pilots, and it will probably remain like that, unless you are local.
