Maybe it's because Wizz has a temporary hiring stop for foreigners. (what i have heard from a base captain).
On the other hand, Wizz is very good in changing plans withing several hours (on the recruitment part).
Fact is that Wizz is still expanding and crew must be hired to get the planes going. (Cluj, Kiev and other route expansions)
Means of contact by Wizz towards candidates can be email or phone. It differs from time to time. As this still is a low cost airline, things are un- organised at management levels.
I also know several pilots who are told they are hired but still not there. Another groups has been hired within 3 months after passing the interviews.

Thats good to hear!
My info: I have heard this 1 on 1 from the base captain and HR in person.
If your story is true, than I will be flying in withing the next 2 months or so because I passed it all last thursday in Bucharest.
So I hope you are right instead of my information.

negative. Passed it but no promises.
Thats why i posted here because of the temp expat hire stop. (i'm still not sure wheter it's true or not)
You can either get called to go for an interview or go to one of the recruitment days somewhere in europe.
Anyway, HR interview is basic stuff, Why Wizz, tell me about you, how did you find out etc.
Technical is also straight. No tricks. Some Wx questions with metar/taf, ils minima, a320 systems if you are type rated. Some personal info too about you and your preferences if hired.

Okay Mihai25,
For someone who is located in London, your english sucks big time!!
What is your problem? failed the type rating? line training? or got fired?
Wizzair is a low cost airline, what do you expect? With your attitude, Iam glad you are not working for Wizzair anymore. My point? well, if you had a bad experience with them ( well, it happens sometime to everyone) learn from it and move on. Like you said, there are a lot of airlines out there.
If you want to educate us about Wizzair go ahead but check your negativity and attitude outside. In another word: constructive criticism
Fly safe

Ps: by the way my english sucks too, but I ain't from London.

Thats true, a new "TRTO" has sprung up on banner ads on PPRuNe called airline training partnership (http://www.simulator-experience.com)
Thier cadet program with Wizz offers TR and Line training followed by a permanent contract. As long as the price for this program is comparable with Ryanair or other SSTR schemes they probably won't have a shortage of takers.

Thanks...

Does anyone know when the newly hired will commence training?
RS3AV: register at the website. Probably write a letter as well to be sure.
Don't know about your FAA if it's accepted.
