Wizz recruiting in Dubai - sums up the general problems at EK and sadly should also serve as a warning to those who still want to join EK!
The fact that a low cost carrier with lower salaries etc is coming to Dubai to recruit pilots from EK (and fly Dubai I suppose) is something that used to be unheard of. Years ago it didn't happen, ever! The "if you don't like it leave" mentality of management has come back to bite them.
Wizz must think pilots will join them and this is a sad reflection on EK. The massive loss of moral at EK, the decreasing work conditions and more worryingly the lack of anything being done to stop the loss of experienced pilots continues to be astonishing.
Sad !
And I see lots of adverts for EK - "time to soar"(spend lots of time I'm air not on the ground!), "experience Dubai"(not there much always flying), "time to live" (away from home) etc etc you'll get the drift once you're here!

In the meantime, Jet2, Wizz, Norwegian, Korean, the Chinese, USA carriers etc. need pilots. They'll keep up the shoddy treatment and bad rosters anyway so it helps bring these carriers to town with better and better deals.

Hahahahah ! These suckers came to Vietnam a few months ago and got......nothing.
Not even the P2F in Vietjet and VNA were interested in this ****y airlines. Wizz toke a couple of guys as DEC, but what I have heard, they are thinking leaving the boat, less than 3 months on board !

so either the last time worked nicely (which by your info is not true)
or they desperately are in need of pilots, but my point is, you just don't throw thousands of euros if the last time didn't work out.
Or, they have just no idea what are they doing.... (my bet is here)

It worked good last time in Vietnam and already 2 times in Dubai and they are desperate. They don't aim to employ F/Os. Their target are experienced F/Os, which will be offered DEC. The terms are really ****ty, but for the left seat, they will have enough interested guys probably. After 500h PIC all those guys will leave

Kimono they got about 15 guys from Vietnam last time, most of the senior VNA A330 FOs went there for a start, plus a number of A320 captains from VNA and VJ. Wizz are coming back again to Vietnam in a few weeks, as you know, they were very happy with the result of their last fishing trip.

I am sorry, but your informations are wrong. Just a couple of guys left and are thinking leaving the wonderful Wizz. A lot of went to some carriers in Asia , like H-K Airlines or JSP.
Wizz is coming back to try to convince the few guys who didn't t show up last time.
I tell you, not even the P2F in VNA ( and in VJ ) want to go to Wizz.

I'm not at Wizz Air however my airline as seen a bit of success with their recruitment campaigns in the desert. Must say, I enjoy flying with ex EK & EY operators. Very capable FOs, command or very close to command ready plus walking & talking confirmation of why people should avoid the sandpit. The more the merrier.

N77 ive met quite a few fo's who left ek months before they were eligible for command. Dont assume anything, these were good guys/ operators, and just tired of the middle eastern way of doing things.
Are you really that shallow thinking guys joining other airlines are guys who failed at their previous ones? Maybe a few but defenitely not all.

I'm almost certain command opportunity would've been available at EK and the likes, however in the cases of the guys who I've flown with, it's quite unlikely that their 'seniority' would've have had them anywhere near a command course in or around their time of departure. I know this as I am aware of previous colleagues from my last outfit who joined EK maybe 6-7 years ago and they have just seen an upgrade in the last 12 months or so (B777).
Whilst not everyone is suited to the left seat, I can recognise command potential and these guy's had it. Neither would have touched command in Dubai as they had simply had their fill. With their jet time, anything between 18 to 24 months could see them, potentially, embarking upon a short haul command upgrade with my operator. Probably round about the same time as they'd be embarking upon a CU if they'd remained in the ME.
I've done this job long enough to be able to filter out the BS when it's being line fed. Unfortunately I've heard enough & seen enough about the sandpit to know why particular people are desperate to leave. Regardless of their command ability or opportunity.

I do understand that EK has a lot of issues to adress, but to go to Wizz and fly as hard as EK and only earn half as captain what an EK FO makes is crazy! Forget that you will get any good bases new Captains end up in places like Craiova, Iashi, and god knows of any other ****holes you can imagine in Eastern Europe/Former SSSR! My friends that commute to western Europe for free, it takes up to 20 hours to get home via Luton or Dortmund. No matter what you think of sandpit its still 100 times better in Dubai! But if your plan is to gett 500h on A320 and then leave thats the only wise idea joining Wizz. But do remember it will still take you at least 1 year if you are direct entry.
Good luck
