Ok.. Listen up to all Wizzair Wannabees!
If you are a local (ie Eastern European) apply online direct to Wizz and fill in the on line Pilot Data sheet (accurately or your application will be rejected...automatically!)
Expats can apply directly but probably have more chance applying through an agency ie Storm or Confair. In both cases try to get someone you know in Wizz to get you on the recommended list (and no, I cannot put you on the list)
If you are applying you will need a JAR licence. If expat and no A320 TR you will be waiting a long time( = probably forever). If you are looking at direct entry CPT you will need at least 1500 PIC Med Turbojet.
Recruiting is still taking place albeit a steady pace. General format for recruitment is a. Telephone interview (20 mins), b.Interview board (BUD or LGW), c. Sim assessment (BUD or LGW)
Good luck to all applying!

hello linza
thanks for your message Linza.
I am a former pilot from the french air force.
I am JAA ATPL with a type rating A320. but no hours on type except the base training.
But I have a solid jet experience so I hope it will work.
do you have any information about the selection process?
and what I have to prepare for the interview?
wish you all the best too.

"On the application, just say you have thousands of hours in the A320 and you will then get a call."
And if you reach the interview board and they check your logbook, which they will, you will be shown the door!
Regarding preparation:
Telephone interview: Expect usual interview questions about yourself/motivation etc. Tech ques depending on your background but including some EU Ops, Ady, Perf and type specific tech questions.
Interview Board: 2 Parts: HR and Tech
HR Standard questions, be motivated!
Tech ; As above but probably concentrating on any weak areas shown in phone interview.
Sim Check ; 30-45 mins LOFT type scenario for TR guys, good CRM etc. Non TR basic flying skills ie Raw data ILS inc OEI.
Enjoy

Hi,
Like some people here said, the reason they're not taking (low hour) pilots from Western Europe is because they want local Eastern European pilots. (Polish, Romanians, Bulgarians, Hungarians).
Everyone knows that all the western pilots (British, Irish, German, etc) will get the hell out of there once they have enough hours to apply and work at BA, LH, etc...) It's as simple as that. Wizz does not pay that great and I'm sure everyone will leave if they have a chance to work at a legacy airline... Nobody wants to be a "pilot farm" for other airlines... certainly not Wizz...
Speaking the language also helps...
Many of you will go anywhere just to fly, but have any of you lived in Eastern Europe? I have and make sure you really know what you're getting into. No, it's not hell, but it certainly not up to "EU standards" just yet.
Just my two cents...but then again, what do I know? I live in Canada. I just happen to live 12 years of my life in Eastern Europe...
(How do I know this? I have a family member who works at Wizzair)

Hello everybody,
I applied at Wizzair three weeks ago and got a phone interview last week (means 2 weeks after applying). As stated above they asked me about my motivation to apply, my background knowledge about wizz, which base I would prefer and if could imagine to be based in the Rumanian province, Cluj for example. Any technical or operational questions were not asked.
The duration of the interview was approximately 10-15 minutes. One day later I received an invitation for a further assessment and screening.
My total flight time counts 2500 hrs total, thereof 1100 on A320, so I think even interested candidates with less than 3000 hrs should give an application a try.

Wizz Air is definitely hiring. A mate of mine with just over 1300 hours TT and no A320 TR just got hired. The biggest aircraft he's ever flown is a Seneca! LOL! He's currently in Toulouse now as we speak doing the TR course. Good luck to all applying!
