Well with the 5% increment each 1000h, Wizz becomes finally not that bad as it used to be.

I think 900 hrs a year is still a bit enthousiastic though... perhaps for OTP, BUD, WAW,LTN etc. but not for some of the smaller 3/2/1 aircraft bases like SBZ, IAS, WRO, VAR, KIV etc. 85hrs per month is a better avarage... and possible 800-850 hrs a year if you are in a smaller base...

Sure, Vienna might be different, but this is to give a general picture, as not every new captain in the company goes to the bigger bases, especially since they need captains in smaller bases at the moment... (okay, they need captains everywhere, lol, but really needed in small bases)

In ppjn it is said that they closed PRG base. Does somebody know why?

Lexsis 23rd Jun 2018 15:31

Probably not enough route demand? As far as I know the planes that used to be based in PRG moved to the new Vienna base.

Did you have the video interview?
Do you mind sharing what questions you had?
I have one this week and cannot find any feedback.

You do not have to have Hungarian license, any EASA one will make it however company pays only Hungarian, Polish or UK license related fees. At least a couple of years ago it was like that.

As soon as you finish TR (in 1 or max 2 weeks) your conversion course starts which includes the base training.

My mind is blown! All this casual talk about 850-900hrs a year! Are Wizz pilots really maxed out to that extent?

till today +/- 500h in 2018 with already some semi payed holiday ( only basic pay ) used... this month I was scheduled for 110h, 58 sector all duties ending at 00:00 or later...

Lexsis 24th Jul 2018 10:07

I guess I am lucky only being in a 2 aircraft base. 80 hours in July, and only 40 in august since I got holiday for almost half of August. :p

Wondering what it's gonna be like when summer is over... and I got hours left while others ran out.... lol

Do Wizz Air provide pension?

dirk85 25th Jul 2018 20:23

If on a local contract you pay social security ok the coubtry where you are based, which includes state pensions.

No private pension, if that’s what you were thinking.

samca 25th Jul 2018 20:42

Hi guys,

anyone starting the type rating in Sofia next October 1st?

cheers

Hello,

If you are wondering how it is in Wizz Air, and if you should apply please note that Wizz Air has increased the salaries in the whole network and that they are from 7K to 10K depending on your civil status, Net for cpt. 2500 to 5000 for fo/Sfo. Its without pension though, still quite competitive.

They are massively in need of pilots, putting some aircrafts on the ground here over the winter due to lack of pilots. Atmosphere is good and its quite stable at the moment regarding financial situation, and people are in general quite happy.

Depending if you choose to pay taxes where you are resident too, in which case you will never even get close to those numbers. Those pesky tax men in let's say UK or Italy want their slice of the pie too, you know. The clever swiss tax agreement works only of you are resident in those EE countries, mind you.

Of course for someone having a family this is not an option, but being single, if I had to stay out of my home country for a certain amount of days to avoid residency I certainly would, plus I think it's quite a high amount of days which you have to spend at home to be considered resident, some countries as much as 180days per year.

Thanks

As you say, it depends on your center of interests, as the tax authorities call it. If you are single, no house and no significant properties, and you dont commute, it is not a problem. But in most other cases you will be considered tax resident in your home country.
You will be able to deduct swiss taxes from your bill, but that’s often close to zero, if you have a family.

What about some tax treaties between countries? This might make it more difficult aswell...

dirk85 31st Jul 2018 20:19

Tax treatynin my country allowed me to deduct swiss raxes from the total bill in my country, so that you do not pay twice, but in total what you would have paid in your own country.
