Doubling a small number still gives you a small number.

There is no sector pay, only basic+distance(in kms)+per diemxbase multiplier. Also cpts aren't getting their loyalty (extra per thousands of hrs spent in wizz) still. It's been removed until further notice, so it's not applicable.

These are numbers provided flying a full scedule, 900hrs/year. The main differences are no local contracts for re-joiners, only Confair as well as no incentive for CPTs regarding their hours spent in the company atm.

I still don't get companies posting NET numbers. Calculating NET has a lot of variables depending on the country you live in, family status, etc. Smells BS to me especially with those Confair contracts.

Imagine the Wizzair Airbus captain telling the bank mortgage clerk he earns £40k a year. He'd fall off his chair in hysterics.
Those figures are a prime example of what's wrong with this industry. Exploitation of the desperate is simply what it is.

Also I never understand people willing to sign a contract based on 'distance flown' or 'flight time' ... I want to know that if I'm downroute waiting for an engineer to turn up for 4 hours I'm still getting some sort of duty pay for it, even if it's minimal, not sitting there for free.

Sadly self respect doesn’t pay the mortgage, or feed the kids. If it’s unemployment or ‘only’ £40k , I can totally see why people take the latter. I’m not saying I agree with companies paying that little, but I do understand why people take these jobs.

You also need to compare apples to apples. Although all eyes here are focused on the few Western European bases, the majority of WZZ ops are from Eastern Europe and the Balkans. And pay over there is lower for all professions, not just for pilots - but so are living costs. So, it is still a decently paid job as per the overall standards of living in the countries where the majority of bases are. Moreover, most alternatives for pilots there aren't any better.

A recent employee review submitted by an ex-HR Manager disappeared rather quickly from glassdoor. It's a shame as it made quite an interesting reading.
