Wizzair online application page
http://wizzair.com/career/pilots/Default.asp?slid=clear&language=EN
"pilots
Dear Applicant
Thank you for your interest in Wizzair. [...] please keep an eye on this page and complete the new application form when available."
It seems like the online recruitment process is not working. This page is unchanged for more than 3 weeks. Anyone knows another way to apply for a position in wizzair?
Another question: as I remember, in the old online application procedure, even if the attachments section showed 4 upload fields, one of them being dedicated to “Resume”, they clearly stated that only the “pilot datasheet” is accepted as attachment and any application received which does not have the correct attachment won’t be considered. Anyone with experience in the right Wizzair application procedure?

The more i search for a job, the more confused i get about the selection criteria in the airlines....
I saw here people with 600hts on type applying and getting no answer, and i have a friend with more or less 350 TT with just a flight instructor course who applyed for a non type rated F/O position and went for the selection process, it was in the beggining of 2010...
It's non sense... I start to think that they just open the Data base and play some games to choose a random guy from the pool......

Looks like the website has been updated and it mentions factoring hours, depending on experience and if you are non type rated, self funded or being sponsored.
The requirements detail factoring hours for the self sponsored non type rated pilot. If its a factor of 0.3, looks like you will need a lot of hours.
However the Wizz funded cadet does not mentioned factored hours.
I fly commercially at present on a piston plane, even though I have a bit of experience and have things like CRM being AOC. I don't think I meet the self funded type rating requirement as its uses 0.3 as the factor and wants a very high number. Would have like to had a go and applying for the self funded route
Good luck everyone

Err, not sure about that old fella.
Gafanhoto,
"The more i search for a job, the more confused i get about the selection criteria in the airlines...."
It's always been a lottery. Honestly.

That was a year ago. Things have changed significantly in the last 12 months.

Yes, that's what they do. But only for a laugh to p?ss people off. It has nothing to do with managing the volume of applications and ensuring that standards are set correctly. No, nothing with that at all. It's just a bit of a laugh to the recruiters. I mean, it's not like we ARE actively interviewing, hiring and promoting people every month either. Clearly, because you have not had a phone call YET it means Wizzair don't have a clue. Shame on them. Where did it all go so wrong in the recruitment department?

They are simply testing the waters. Nothing more. They are trying to gauge the trend in experienced vs. inexperienced pilots on the market. This is NOT an application it is a survey disguised as an application.
Seriously though, this is a real scumbag airline. What they pay their pilot staff is a direct indication of what they think of you....which is lower than whale ****.

... factorised hours...
You're right Turbine, the Wizz Air states 0.3 as the factor for "Non-airline" aircraft group but if you check the WizzAir_pilot_starting_data_sheet.doc downloadable from Wizz Air - Career Opportunities you'll find some different values for that specific aircraft category experience, respectively 0.7 for PIC experience and 0.5 for "other".

Thanks, I found it on the application form.
Also saw when re-reading the website for self sponsored type ratings you need 1000 factored hours and 200 multi, where as under sponsored cadet its not mentioning this.
I suspect not all will meet the 200 multi requirement for self sponsored and surely it will change.
