Well, as a RYR driver I can tell you that we have already more (in service plus orders) in service. Much more.

Some other guys mentioned it already, in Western Europe you are more and more forced "to play the game", means play it clean, pay correct taxes and social contributions. Wizz is still not doing that and hiding in the East(because there it might be still possible). I assume the Vienna base has a Austrian contract(or something similar), otherwise the tax man would be very mad(and a mad tax man makes mad pilots :E ).

So no, Wizz is not real competion for Easy and Ryan. Just 2 very different "playing fields". Ryan starts moving into the East(RYR Sun), Wizz has 2 western bases(3 if you call Budapest West as well as I do).

RYR has big plans for the future with an order for the MAX(or however they will call it after that disaster), I am sure Easy has similar plans.

As of today Wizz Air Group has 114 aircraft (10 at WUK) and will have 120 in a few weeks (vs. 476 at FR and 327 at Easy).
However the difference in seat capacity is a lot smaller (Wizz already operates ~40 321s with 230/239 seats vs. lower capacity 738/319s at FR/U2) which will decrease further as nearly all deliveries from now on will be Y239 A321neos (while even the MAX will be only Y197). IMHO Ryanair should already call Wizz competition with like 150 daily flights to/from the UK and a lot of common bases.

Does anybody have an interview with Wizz on the 15th-16th of August and if so are you interested in pairing up for a practice sim the day before in Budapest? I believe there is a sim company there that does ASSESSMENT TRAINING for prep work before an interview and is 149 euro per person for 2 30 min briefing sessions and 1 hour sim.

If you are keen please pm me.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I applied in February and still no answer from them except for confirmation email. I have all requirements and 590h. Does anybody else have same situation?

Cadet Program
 

Hi everyone,
Is there any Wizzair Cadet or anyone in the selection process?

Not all people with the requirements get an interview. In fact, just a small minority. They have plenty of applications, especially from low hours non type rated pilots.

Application
 

Airbus is experiencing delays delivering new aircrafts the slow down might be related to that.

If they have plenty NTR applicants but with hours, why do they keep getting zero hour students from various cadet programmes? To me it looks like it's always a better (and faster) solution would be to employ somebody with 500ish hour experience on whatever aircraft rather than growing up a brand new employee from zero. Anyone willing to explain this phenomena?

With the new routes out of BHX, is there any change they'd look to open a permanent base there?

Mate, there will be simple questions about well-known topics, basically to check your English knowledge and speech fluency. Nothing to worry about, at all, really.

Rapid command
 

[QUOTE=Rikki;9349876]Thank you for the reply. Are they actually hiring guys for this rapid command programme or is it just a carrot they are dangling and in fact everyone is getting offered SFO for 6 months first?
I imagine summer months are very busy? Any idea of typical hours? Is Belgrade an option for a base or is it a slim chance since it is a small and a new base? I seen it is the lowest paid basic salary of all the other bases but I have family there so would be interested. Anyone with any idea please feel free to reply or to send me a PM. It would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE
