I agree with the above post. However, I should make this clear that the country I fly in is facing a big pilot shortage as of 2006. Most of the applicants are low houred, right out of training.
When you only have ~150 available spots/year and thousands of applicants it's a complete different turf. In my case the supply/ demand ratio is more like 45-50% and as mentioned earlier the applicants have similar backgrounds.
If you have a type-rating - hours don't matter - on A320 family or B737 and willing to fly in Turkey for couple of years, apply immidiately to
Atlasjet, Onurair, Interexpress, etc.
Good luck!

Wizzair
Hi there,
I have an A320 type rating but no hours on type. I have a total tme of 300 hours.
Just wondering if anyone knows what the terms and conditions are (for someone in my position) with Wizzair at the moment?
Thanks,

Thanks,
Looks like a bit of a dodgy deal with a dodgy company. I think I'll give them a miss!
I've heard that Wizzair will recruit just about anybody as long as their willing to pay for their own training and work for nothing. They don't care about safety - all their interested in is maximising profits!
To be honest, I don't really want to be involved with a firm like this. I'd rather leave the industry and do something else than stoop to their level.
Cheer's,

As if you have the right to choose your first employer?
I dont mean to be rude, but you dont have hours on type and the 320 without hours isn't exactly the hottest type around right now.
Try getting a foot in and give it all you've got, you cant afford to be picky in your situation. I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh and I don't mean to put you down. I just want trigger you to get going on whatever is available.
Give them everything you've got!!! A friend's friend of mine works for wizzair and even though it's not the most well paid job around, he's happy with what it has given him. It's still a job that offers you line experience which is worth more than cash as it can't be taken away from you... And this is what you need to be able to head towards the better paid jobs!
good luck mate/ LnS

But if you've already got the A320 rating then you wouldn't get in on that cadet scheme anyway, that cadet programme is all about selling the rating, thru an in-house TRTO there is a bucket load of profit in the rating and that's what it's all about!

Ok, I misunderstood.
What I mean is that if the Airline wizzair has spots open for someone like sidestick bob, there's no reason not to apply. If they only take guys via their TRTO I rest my case. If you can get a foot in without cashing out, go for it.

L'n'S,
It's not Wizzair maximising profits, go to http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=220636 and figure it out!

Hi!
Where did you do your typerating? Sorry to hear you are still waiting. I am also (most probably) on Wizz waiting list, however I got another job by the time. I am very courious If they are ever going to call me (however, I would not join them anymore).
