Hi B767PL,

You might be right but for a cadet with low hours and no TR it’s one of tje best options in Europe considering that you can have a base in your home town.

Sorry to ask again. Really hoping that somebody can help me out with the new pay deal at LTN for capt.
Also, if any one can give some rough figures for the amount of sectors flown there pa.
Thanks!

Hi all, I read almost all thread, thanks for the contributions. I am a A320 pilot with 5000hrs and I have been offered a SFO position which I was told to be possibly upgraded to LHS in 6 months. If I may, I would like to ask you guys, in reality is this correct? If so, does it depend on your base?

You'll need 300 hours WZZ time, and it does not depend on the base...

Anyone knows if it's possible to apply without a JOC? 400TT flying a Turboprop (multipilot).

Hi,

You need it in order to get your application processed. There is no way around it I’m afraid. I was in the same situation couple of years ago.

Cheers,

Lets face it, they waited too long with competitive salaries. They *will not even be competetive with the april increment *IMHO.
I would go so far and say that more FOs and especially SFOs are leaving than new ones join. Gonna be interesting how they wanna do the summer season with additional 17 aircrafts coming those weeks.

Dash- for clarification- nobody knows how the new salary system will look like, the management still haven't send any hard data, numbers are still changing, there are dozens of rumours... It is clear that the new salary system doesn't work and they are trying to fix it somehow (till tomorrow they should send payslips for the last half a year to compare the salaries- it won't happen). Every pilot that I know (including myself) is very disappointed/trying to figure what to do next.
Good luck

I edited my statement by *, thanks for pointing out flu.
what I understood they didnt want to send payslips to us, but presenting the multipliers by the 15th of march after comparing all those payslips internally.

One thing is clear, complaining doesnt help here. Every airline is seeking for new pilots right now, so the most easy way is to change company if you can (family, close to home whatever).
I mean for rookies it's still super! They pay the rating and deduct a bit from you, you will get hundreds of hours within shortest time and you get paid for that - not bad at all.
But for experienced people like me its just sad how they try to "increase" a salary and improve work life balance. So i took my decision very quickly instead of unheard complaining.
They wanna run a company with rookies and training all the time? Their masterplan, not mine.
But who knows, at the end everything's gonna be fine for all.

Can anyone figure out how to download the Pilot data sheet they want completing for the application?

I dont have a JOC but I have a Jet Type rating (B737 classic). They will accept my application?

If yes, what is +\- the waiting time to go to the acessment?

Thank you guys

Hi,

Yep. Usually you'll receive an email if you were selected for the assessment within a few weeks.

Hi, anyone joined before as a NTR Rapid command, do you join as an FO for some time and then get trained for the left seat ? What pay can one expect gross/net, interested in a Kutaisi base (is it easy to get ?)

They won’t believe somebody volunteer to go to KUT, so yes, easy to get. Nobody wants to go there.

I understand that its indeed very though to change airplane, company and move seat also. Nice to hear its easy to get Kutaisi base though. Thank you for the replies !

Hi guys,

Long time reader, first time poster. After years of lurking silently on this forum I've decided to ask you for a bit of an advice. :)

After reading all the info I possibly could, I'm still interested in joining Wizz (the much discussed Ts & Cs would actually be a considerable improvement – I know, shame on me).

At the moment I have approximately 430 Jet hours, flying bizjets for a small scale operator.

I'd like to apply for the experienced FO position (NTR), even though I still lack a couple of dozen hours, so my question is:

What are the chances of them accepting my application even though I don't meet the minimum hours? Or perhaps I should apply for the NTR Cadet pilot position? I've read both on the Wizz website and in the datasheet that applying without meeting the requirements results in an automatic rejection, that's why I hesitate.

I'm asking like this since there seems to be a shortage of pilots at Wizz right now, with the summer coming and everything, so I don't wanna wait after the season when the situation can be different. I'll have those 500 required hours in approximately 2 months, but won't have time to prepare for a possible interview during the summer, so It's either now or in the autumn.

Thanks for your help and time guys, cheers :ok:

Regarding Wizz it’s true that applying without meeting requrements results in rejection (plus it used to be 2 yrs ban). If you’re determined to apply for them do it for cadet and then there is always a chance they would give you an upgrade.

They will be looking for pilots for many years to come, wait till you have the hours, a few months is not going to change anything.

Are they hiring NTR with 300 hours TT or do they prefer those with at least 500 hours on multi-crew aircraft? Just trying to understand when it's better to apply.

If you meet the requirements on their website, any of them, then they are hiring.
However, for the position of cadet, there is currently a long waiting list of applications.

Good luck
