To answer your question I did not quote:
most certainly they are not looking for mature people who would get current, type-rated and then run away as far as possible after 3 yrs and 2000 hrs.

Quite the opposite, and despite remaining weaselish one cannot really blame any such HR policy.

Wizzair's model is partly successful because they master their HR policies well. In this case, target-hiring for people who are gullible, too young and lacking experience to recognize how badly short is their end of the stick.

The description above is of someone for whom they hold no carrot (home-country base, PIC upgrade. bond) and would be immediately qualified to apply elsewhere.

Yes , looks like they prefer 320 rated pilots . My friend applied 4 or 5 months ago. He got only 1500 total hrs including airbus. They called him for assessment already.

Automated rejection

Hello guys I applied for Wizz Abu Dhabi, and after submitting the application, and once I fill up the hours link send by the recruitment. I am getting automated rejection. Even though I have met all the requirements. I currently fly A320 FO with 1500 Hrs. Does any one know how to solve this issue?

If you choose No atpl / No gcaa atpl then it will auto reject.

You cannot apply without ATPL, they only want experienced first-officers unfortunately.

Assessment feedback

Hello guys any feed back for WIZZ AUH assessment. Is the assessment similar to one in LPJ?

I heard they have changed the ATPL question bank. Any suggestions where to get the latest one ?
