J74 i will just say goodnight to you also, no need for anyone to become more upset. This is for people looking info in wizzair and not for pissing contests. thanks for being more superior again i will find some one else to talk to yes.

You just argued with everything i said (doing all the bad a$$ copy paste answer to my posts ) and didn't actually provide any answers or solutions to the questions i have asked about what a new pilot should do. Obviously ''packing and going to Africa for a free 737 and perfect salary'' is not an answer and i am not sure if everybody believe that you are actually in Africa at the moment. Anyway i really wish you are. Any other 3000 hours wisdom you wish to contribute?

"but you don't have anything and here doing mess, that's all!" I here not doing mess , just me ask questions for wizzair. You here doing jump me (Yes i am making a lil fun of your English my western friend , knowing of course mine is worst and i have a ''low style" as you say)


Nope actually i have nothing better to do, tried to sleep but i think i will play some pro first :cool Bbye

Working in Africa doesn't mean am an African, and that was a reply to the other guy who start a East-West European match.
Obscene place?..mmm well depends where you live, cause where I work isn't so much Obscene like you think.
Or maybe you are another Eastern guy with a Comunist mentality?
I never saw so many young high profile in the West European countries like I saw in the East!..Good for them!
And for now believe or not, I'm happy with this and once again I'm working as a Pilot..not an east slave for Wizz T&C:p
Are you happy with them...Good for you but if you want another job like you asked, please go to IKEA web site..you'll be very close to home, probably, and maybe you get more in your bank account. Never loose hope.
But if you want to continue this career as Pilot, please go study don't waste your time here on Pprune that amaze you so much...maybe you'll do a better HR group exercise!

Agree... if You have to accept a BIT LOWER SALARY, as you said it's ok, but again not so low as it is! Then You have to see the rest of the T&C.

I guess you should just leave the forum :) there is no place for such an angry person pretending to be ''happy'' your experience not helpful to anyone and stop disrespect people

You guess wrong...we live in democracy here..you are not able to set your rules...you know

What's that?..your consideration or you are a magician?
If you want I can show you my PFO email to WIZZ(to V.K. and LTC J.C., with some of your immagination, I'm sure you know who they are) after passed the assessment with them and after I realized black on white what was the Wizz Offer...

And yes, maybe you're correct now, As they changed and add stuff to the assessment recently, mine are old now...
But still if someone want the Brief Package Pack, I can send to him.

Bond is 30k per 3 years. 15 paid by the company and 15 by you during the 36 months. After 3 years they pay you back 7.5.
Expect about 2.500 per month as fo during the bond. Sfo some 3.500 per month due to sector pay and basic salary increase.
Living costs in Eastern Europe about 1.000 - 1.500 per month. Commuting is free on Wizz network.
Roster 6-4 or 6-1-6-7 ( unfortunately lots of morning flights) but you can expect even more off days in a row
Hope it helps :)

2500 ??? with the bond? is this net?

What if you pay the 11.900 yourself?

It includes the sectors. Bond is 15.000 per 36 months. So add 15.000/36 to that.
Keep in mind that for some bases you get a service provider contract with an agency, so no social contribution from there. So gross is the same with net ( no Swiss tax for less than 3.000 from what I know).

thanks for the info bro:ok:

What about if you pay your T/R with the 11.900 option. the salary is the same right?

This is what I said to add the 15000/36 to that. Salary is the same but you don't pay the bond. But you pay the tr and get nothing back in the end. And it's 11900 plus tax, so almost the same as 15000

Thanks again for taking the time to provide the info,Cheers.

So syntax if i understood correctly , more or less, you agree with the 2000+ salary number?

That thing with the ARR/SID charts is surely very strange...are you sure they fly like this? Its impossible to memorise all the details of a chart-or an emergency escape route. :ugh:

Increase sector pay is only for sfo and cpt. However, there are not so many standard sectors to fly. Most of them are medium or long, so an average 35 euros per sector I would say. Winter season about 30-34 sectors, summer some 40 or even more.

Early start and late finish is not a rule. As I said it's not unusual to have only morning flights. But they usually try to mix them up.

No paper charts available, true. But you cross check with fmgs and you can keep the tpc on the side console. I don't see a problem here. And all procedures are in the database from the fmgs ( except only a circling approach in Italy ).

True about no hot meals.

But, guys, I don't think that you will have to sign a contract with a gun held to your head. If you want to fly the Airbus 900 hours a year for some decent money and with not the best contract in the world is your choice. From the inside I can tell you that training is very good, safety comes first and people are really nice. I think this is what matters, as you don't fly with the management all day long.

I bring my own protein bars so i don't care about hot meals :E

Ok, true about tpc. But only below 1000 ft... There is no tax for less than 3000, this I tell you for sure. True also about the unpaid leave, but it's not the case with current ops. I don't know about the 2800 hrs...just 1500 for sfo ( maybe it applies for "direct entry" sfo)
I would say again 2500 for fo and 3200 for sfo with the bond ( plus 400 after that)

Maybe the tax is for fo without the bond. I got max 2900 with no tax at source. Depending on the financial laws in your own country you might or might not pay the difference of income tax. For one year already I did not pay any income taxes.
Regarding all other ideas, as I said earlier, it's not the best contract in the world. But you get to fly a nice aircraft for 900 hours a year and get some decent money for these days...

For NPA you only need the alt/dme which you can write down on a piece of paper. For MAP, sorry, but I used to know it by heart also when I flew other aircrafts and I had to the paper procedures. And you also have them in the fmgs which you cross check before approach...

So let's say you join Wizz with 2300 factorized Wizz hours, you are employed as FO, on FO pay until you fly the remaining 500 hours, then transfer to the SFO pay rate?

Swiss taxation
 

Hi,
can anyone better explain how Swiss taxation works. How can you work as a contractor for an agency based in country "A", be based in country "B" commute to/from your home country "C" and pay taxes in Switzerland? :confused:

Any news from Wizzair Cadet (west Europena people :p)recruitment rumours?

I know they still looking for FO rated/not and some cadet but eastern europe ppl....
and I know a lot of ex pay2fly guys not A320 rated with low hours joined the ship.

Need to be an experienced pilot to be lucky! A rating is not enough...
Even being a national from CEE won'T help unless you got the 500hrs on the bus... Wizz was looking for pilots with experience in order to take the LHS within 2 years!

WizzAir for all of you who need an idea of the screening
 

Hey Job seeker and lost souls,
I thought you paid a lot to all that :mad: companies who promise you everything to get your best ... Your money ! I am so sick of it, here you get my experience for free I did the test 1 month ago and it shouldn't be changed until now.
For all of you who need a job I wish you max. success and don't forget you were happy to find this explanation so think about how happy other will be about yours and not only for WizzAir !!! We all need a bit of help and support !

Good luck to everyone!

Groupe Exercise:
5 Aircrafts with 5 different destinations and with 5 different colors with different positions on parking stands and different Cargo on board.

They ask you about Aircraft, Destination, or cargo where you have no information about it.

1. Use the Flipboard
2. invent a table Aircrafts horizontal and all other items vertical
3. try to find out which Aircraft is is at which position to the others
(Only few positions will be known) like the black tail AC is right of the green
tailed AC and another information is the yellow one is on the first position
and so on...)
4. then sort out the cargo time and anything else
5. at the end all of you have to think logical! You have 20min easy or isn't ? ;P

and in addition 10 more questions
About your motivation, which base, discribe your self with 4 words, what is the biggest challenge if you get a job at Wizzair.

Thank you very much for the information . :ok:

Questions for those that have been in the process recently.

For how many bases can you express your preference?
What are the most likely bases for a new joiner the next few months?

You can name 4 bases, although most likely they'll put you somewhere else, unless you put one of the not-wanted bases (Romania, Bulgaria, etc.).

Thanks for the quick reply!

Is the assigned base known before the contract is signed, or it can be like in Ryanair where you can get a temporary base for the line training, and you get the "final" base after a couple of months?

I have no problems in relocating, but assuming that I pass the whole selection (wishful thinking) I would like to make the decision to resign already knowing where I would end up living.

You'll get the designated base shortly (as in days) after the notice of successful assessment. You can opt for a base change after line check.

Send me a PM if you want more info.

@ Guys without TR: Did you actually apply for the experienced or cadet entry scheme? I am wondering if they prefer experienced ones or if they invited ppl for both schemes.

The point is: I will have these 500 hrs total flying time, which is qualifying for the cadet entry in about 2 months I guess and the 500 hrs jet time, which would be qualifying for the experienced entry in about 6 months.. So wait until I can apply as an experience pilot or won´t it make a difference?

Thanks :ok:

@Plastic: Thank your for your honest and subjective opinion. :ok:

Any other advices?

Don't you get to pick whether you will be under a service-provider contract, or a Wizz employee?

Dudes, I'm working in business aviation. So I'm used to get called all the day :)

Never got called on days OFF, never got a single threatening email, i've always been asked if i "could" do this or that and whenever i said no, well, nothing happened, nobody fired me and still happy and flying.
Don't know if in the past was like Syntax and Plastic are saying, i have no reason to do not believe what you guys say, but these days situation seems to be quite different from the way you draw it. Probably because they realized they lost a lot of people, looking for higher salaries and being closer to home, and now they try to deal with pilots, can't speak for cabin crew, in a better way.
Not saying it is a dream company, no one is, but far away to be nowadays the scarying and sad place you guys depict.

Never called me on OFF days. I fly about 70 hours per month with peak of 90 in high season. I knew already though that aviation is seasonal stuff, but may still surprise someone :)
Have also to say that most of the time, on a 6/4 roster, you get the 6th day becoming OFF, so turning it to a 5/5, not bad for commuting if you have direct flights to your country. Even more because are for free.
As I said before, it is not the best company in the world, far from being, but it is not the kind of nightmare you depict. Might have been in the past, now is definitely different story, but don't wanna convince anyone. Enjoy my life and let the others do the same.

Not to unusual that a CPT occasionally flies as an FO:)

Joined one year ago, been through one summer and one winter already. As said, summer time you hit the 90 hours easily but never got my roster screwed, always had my 6/4 and most of the time, off peak, it turned to 5/5. Believe it or not, that's how it is. Don't wanna convince you Syntax, i am just stating the facts as they are in my experience. Have friends in a couple of different bases and they are not complaining either. Are we working hard in summer? Yes. Is the nightmare you depict? Not really. But again, don't wanna convince anyone, just reporting facts. I repeat it: it is not the best company in the world and far from being, but in my personal experience is not as bad as you say. Maybe because i've been working harder in the past doing different jobs
;)

Well Syntax, I can only say that we have very different opinions about the company and many of the things you are saying don't reflect my experience. Might be I am a lucky guy, would be first time in my life. I am able to commute three times a month spending three full days at home since most of the times my sixth day turns to OFF from available. Of course the fact that I have direct flights home with Wizz helps a lot. I do understand people leaving because there are other companies with far better conditions, rosters and bases, I am not saying the opposite. I understand your disappointment if that is really your experience. Anyway, just wanted to share a different opinion. Won't spend more time on this topic, take care and all the best

Guys,
How often Wizz has crew overnights? Is it their right to transfer you to another base at any moment?

Syntax - it is highly unprofessional to propagate a rumour about an individual who can be easily identified from your "story". Think, would you like it if the boot was on the other foot? Stick to facts before you start shooting your mouth off.

And how exactly does that justify you spreading malicious gossip in which the individual can be identified? You must be a very sad little man if that's how you get your kicks - run along now and try to be a bit more grown up in future.

Oh I seeee - so that must make it perfectly alright to slander someone on a public forum? Er, don't think so Plastic - engage brain and don't defend this idiots blabber mouthing.

Any news from the people that went through the assessment in March?
Which are the assigned bases? Success rate?

Any news on how many they are hiring?
