More food is in the oven now, a new one and numerous group of affected pilots are taken immediate action against the company after listening the meeting leakage of DT yesterday. Cannot provide more details for now.

I doubt that a random pdf that could have been written by anyone, not even close to an official document, could be used as proof of anything, even if I don’t doubt for a second the content is true.
|
you are completely out of the loop. There is more than a pdf.
you just have seen the pdf buddy |

Could be wrong but I was thinking that the document here had been transcribed from an audio or video recording of the actual meeting? Edit: crossed with similar from Pearlharbour |
In that case it’s a different story, I was just commenting on what was posted here, the pdf. Of course if they also have the tape that would change everything, but knowing how these things work, I am surprised that’s not on youtube by now.

The Foss
that is fully correct |
There is also audio version of this meeting. So pdf is reliable.

Urgently need some entertainment :) |
Just listened to it - highly entertaining yet worrying they’ve got G-reg a/c. The narrator refers to following orders - who from? Any bad apples who challenge (management speak for bad attitude) or seen to be malingering get their marching orders (have we heard this before in loco?). Sadly seems to be the way the airline industry is going with a seemingly powerless regulator. It says a lot about working for Wizz; not a long term proposition is what I’ve heard from the guys I’ve flown with, all of them good operators. Whoever is running this goon show needs a well aimed boot out of the business.

...for once I agree with him :ok: |
Hello guys,
Any updates on recruitment? Some of the status have changed to 'we are currently reviewing all applications' Thanks. |
I was speaking with a friend, FO in Wizzair on the romanian contract, who has been struggling on about 400 eur a month the whole winter, between unpaid leave and salary cut. Working as Amazon driver to supplement his income whenever possible.
|
What's the point working for 400 EUR/month then?
As you said before, job opportunities at local post office are better, as now the number of packages being sent has doubled if not tripled. |
The whole point i would say is still being on a payroll, kept current and recent with either flights or sims and having loads of free time avail for other projects. Make no mistake most of my friends at wizz are driving, riding, designing, building, etc. just make something on the side, however with a their minds set on hopefully things picking up in the future. Of course the above mentioned are also knowing their jobs hanging by a thread in case of another round of redundancies. It's tough for everyone out there one way or another.

Good riddance. Also for the rest of the clowns he was pulling out of his backside executing his orders. It's just a pity that company culture won't change IMHO. These "managers" and "base captains" were let go because of the leak and not due to the way they've treated their colleagues, make no mistake.

There is a recording, I had a friend send it to me together with the transcript. The wild guess is that company have come down on all base management and demoted them because of the recording and that they don't know who leaked it. So they probably just decided to chop everyone, to continue spread their "fear games" The recording is in my opinion extremely damaging, also with regards to safety, where they mention getting rid of "weak Captains" - this coming from top management themselves. Anyone who has worked there and have some knowledge of aviation, does know that this does not come as a big surprise. It also shows they have put expansion ahead of safety. I would want to believe that a company's minimum standard of Captains should not contain the words "weak" I have heard these words spoken by various base Captains at Wizz before, where they complained how can they watch out for "weak" Captains, because they never fly with these Captains. Despite this was the warning some of the base Captains did get from upper management. Keep an eye on X, Y and Z, because they believe they are "weak Captains" I believe the lawyers will have field day with this recording and the unfair dismissal cases, this will end up costing Wizz a few millions for sure. And they have now wielded the sword on some very good base Captains, clearly now looking to implement a much more authoritarian structure within the company. What ever was spoken on that recording, would have been approved and instructed by the Upper management, however they discovered that they did not have 100% loyalty, so the axe has fallen for every single base Captain in the company, with one exception, and that is the UK one. Maybe they worry that the UK laws are not as fragile as those in some of those corrupt Eastern European countries. I mean Wizz have a long history of corruption. |

No. They mean those whose flying abilities are below average, even worrying. But they’ve been there so long and it’s gone on for so long.

If that's so, why would chief pilot call himself a weak? He is well known as bad pilot and barely passes his sim sessions... Not to mention closing the aircraft and sealing it with APU running 2x just to keep it cool for the next crew...
