6/1/6/7.
So in 13 days you get one off.

They let you de ice when you want ? How very charitable.
It's thinking like that's a plus point that will get you killed.

What a pile of steaming....

And during the 7 days off? Are they really off or are some standby days??

Some standby of course.

Dirk you are wrong, 6-1-6-7 on your 7 OFF days, you will be off. No stbys

Sorry, my bad, I was referring to the 12 days on duty out of the first 13 of the pattern.

Pilot shortage problem solved!
 

So the Captains don't want to work for Wizz Air? No problem! Lets hire First Officers! :ugh:

A320 FO to A320 Captain ? RAPID COMMAND POSITION job with Sigma Aviation Services | 1401433836

I particularly enjoyed the fact that even the agency couldn't bring themselves to use any of the usual buzzwords when describing the package (FANTASTIC! EXCEPTIONAL! ATTRACTIVE! etc.) They contented themselves with 'decent'.

Is there actually any trick to get invited?

I applied last year for NTR Experienced 2016 and did not hear anything. :sad:

what's your experience?

Hey,

I have 900hrs Total including 700hrs Multi Pilot - Jet.

Greetings

Alright thanks. Sounds like there is nothing to do but wait :D

Isn't it great in this European Union! Roll on the vote. Maybe we can lose EU261 at the same time.

NTR F/O
 

Hello guys , anybody know if wizz did assesments for NTR experienced F/O in the last couple of months ??
I have applied for NTR F/O 2016 and still nothing ...
cheers

If wizz is really this horrible place go somewhere where your skills, experience, expertise and professionalism is rewarded to your satisfaction.

If you have none of the above because you are a cadet with nothing to offer yet, maybe it's a good idea to join. Personally I've never felt intimidated by anyone, no one ever got involved in any kind of fuel or de-icing decisions (actually very very much the contrary) or forced you to work off days. What happened to telling people to piss off if they call you in your free time anyway? Wizz is a place where you need to have a pair on you, because you are the only one representing your own interest. Do what is required of you in your contract and nothing more (unless charging 15 extra sectors or something, then you might want to reconsider), and you will see how easy life can be.

All I can say is; I had a great time flying there and I do miss the giggles that we all shared as a crew on a daily basis. I also miss the pristine aircraft we were operating and the superb maintenance. What I don't miss is the low pay, crap holidays and four sector extension/discretion days in winter. Flying 600 hours in a 6 month period during the season didn't go unnoticed either.

However, look at your own situation. Do some basic arithmetic and decide for yourself whether it is worth it for you to suffer all these indignities. If it is, go for it. If it is not, I'm sure you'll let us know where you went. The fact I went there eventually landed me an infinitely better position, and that's something you might want to think about before discarding it. If you do decide to go there, avoid the numpties in BUD (exempting one or two) and make your own plan. Know your rights and obligations and execute. Easy as pie. Good luck, the market is looking pretty good for pilots right now. I hope it starts reflecting in Europe as it is in other places.

hey guys, any updates on how the hiring is going? were there any NTR classes lately?

cheers

I recently attended PSP in BUD for NTR DEC. There were over 20 candidates for F/O positions and 4 for DEC. After the HR interview and exercise I did not progress to the next stage, only one candidate from our group of five was invited for the next day. Some twenty other candidates with various levels of experience stayed at another hotel. I don't know how successful they were.
I was shocked that the three guys I interviewed with did not qualify. They were great guys, with a lot of experience and positive attitudes. I wonder what WIZZ HR team is into? These corporate rats do not understand the current market situation and sabotage the operational side of the business. I wonder how long will it take for the managment to realize what their junior employees are doing. I suppose that they have to start parking their aircraft.
Those of you who consider applying or already have, by all means do so. Wizz pays for flights and hotels (Wizz covers hotel costs for DEC candidates only). If you can spare a day or two, it is a great learning experience, especially for those who have not been exposed to behavioral interview head games.

Best of luck.

I got offered a NTR DEC interview last year but I just kept stalling them, at the end actually never went for the interview.

Reason mainly , if you believe this forum and some other internet sources, the low pay and the, for a western European, crappy bases. Would be honestly only interested in Budapest, but they don't give it to new joiners I got told.

Well, good for me that I waited, got a job now at home with another big low cost operator. Sometimes waiting pays off.

5000+ hrs on the Bus, didn't even get an interview ..... Go figure��

Smokie it's because they know full well you'll be gone at the first available opportunity.
