With respect but their website does say. Network wide.

Thanks again champ

U are welcome rock.
My aviation english may be bad, but if you, holding a level 6 and being a professional pilot, are not able to find where a company like wizz bases its pilots, well, you may have an issue...

Wizz Air currently has bases in Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and the Czech Republic.

Thanks red bull

Appreciate your response. I did hear vueling did have bases in Italy. The websites you mention does give an indication of salary. However what is a experienced FO salary. I have a lot of wide body time and narrow body time but all as FO. It's just my wife has a job in Italy and hence I am looking too move. Still need to convert this ICAO ATP. It's been a long time since I studied MET and Aerodynamics. My head hurts already.

Anyway thank you again


According to PPJN and Pilot Career Center, Wizz Air don't have a base in Italy. If that may happen in the future is unlikely. It is mainly an East European airline. However, Vueling do have a couple of bases in Italy if I am not wrong.

I stand to be corrected.

At some point in time the job becomes secondary to the family. The wife has a great job in Italy. I have a few pennies saved. Hence the lifestyle move.

As for China it's a stepping stone. I don't want too be stepping anymore. For us it's a move too settle the family. As for commuting I don't want too go away for 4 on or 2 off.

Wife and family first then the job

Jokes apart,

Mate think twice and seriously before relocating to Europe.
Wizz FOs pay is based on the factored "in house" hours (as far as i know),that means that the entry salary is pretty low.
Cost of living in Europe is high and taxes will kill you (even if it is eastern Europe).
If i was you, given your experience, i would look east for a commuting job.
Some companies in China offer DEC CCQ positions to experienced FOs.

My opinion of course.

I would be happy to take a Ryanair or easyjet base any day before China but that's just me

I would think it would be difficult getting a position with EZY in Napoli as I am sure there are enough Italians looking to do the same




Agree,

Then go for ezy. Milan or Naples are good bases. Venice too.

Good luck and study italian instead of atpl crap :)

You rock, if you are looking for a job in Italy you don't have all these options..
Ryanair o easyJet. That's it.
Oh yes, the legendary vueling airlines.
(Don't know if the Spanish language is still mandatory, I can't follow their rules anymore as they change them everyday according to what is more convenient).

Entry salary? Good to very good in Easyjet, don't know in Ryan.. And ta-daaaa ****ty to smoking ****ty in vueling.

GL indeed!

Mate, your point of view about family and lifestyle makes perfectly sense to me. Wife, kids and lifestyle always come first.
Remember a very important point: regardless of what somebody for sure will tell you, easyjet is an equal opportunity employer. Moreover it is an European community rule. It means that you can apply as far as you have got the right to work in Europe, an EASA licence OR you're able to convert your actual licence into EASA.
Doesn't matter if you are European, Asiatic, African, American or Australian as far as you're good enough to pass the selection process.
Best of luck for you and your family.
