wow, 28 sectors, thats not very much, so you are flying a max of 2 sectors per day!? That would make about 5K per month gross, if you have to pay about 30-40% Tax like in most EU states, that would give less than 3500€ for a CPT, I am surprised they find pilots for this salary.

my 2 cents worth, nice bunch, great looking cabin crew 
and a pleasure to work with, random rostering, expats 6 on 4 off free positioning on network. pay sucks. ex-pat guys through confair and locals i think on local contracts, a/c a little old HPA/HPB but some new ones coming in, although i do worry for them in the current climate whether they will survive as rumour tells me that they are not actually making a profit and they are certainly not meeting their expansion plans.

Wizzair - offshore contractors possible
Know they were briefly talking with company in Turks to get pilots - dont know why theybacked away from each other but do know that the pay is TOO low and they have a rep for being kinda rinky dink operation - maybe because they are relatively new.

Can any of the Wizzair pilots please post what working for Wizzair is like?
i.e.
Company culture, how are the pilots treated,are there opportunities for advancement,where is Wizzair headed in regards to expansion,is the company making a profit and do you feel the future of Wizzair as being secure for the moment?
Any replies to the above are greatly appreciated.

Quite good enviroment, I mean the pilots are friendly and qualified, but alot of the pilots want more in salary as the package is not the worlds best see ppjn.com. Therefore exchange of crew in a normal flow.
Insurance is provided, that means LOL only.
All bases are more or less available, if you are a captain =)

BBU is best for Hours building, long sectors.
KTW is best for most, shorter sectors.
TAX depends on where you are resident.
Salary increments are every 1000 hrs, applied to basic and sector pay. Extra 1200 euro a year if you do the Bulgarian routes and fly LZ-WZA.

Hi Robot,
what means salary increament every 1000h hours? How much, starting from where? According ppjn the anual gross is 40K.
What would be a typical gross for a CPT out of KTW?
Still waiting for some infos from Confair, but they seem a little bit unorganized.

There are quite a few variations on contract, depending on if you are a contract pilot or direct with Wizz. If you had a 320 rating/current/Instructor etc etc. If it is Confair ask them direct (in print) & then you will not be fed any duff (but well meaning) info from someone who was on a different set of terms!

The cost of accomodation in BBU is very expensive for none Romanians ! As soon as you open your mouth the price doubles. Having said that, the company are aware of how expensive it can be to live in BBU and so have introduced a 1200 euro housing allowance on top of normal salary. This means a complete reversal !! You can now live effectively for free !

that extra 1200 is absolutely a good offer.
On top of the fact that BBU is a very busy base (what I heard from the base boss) and that the monthly income can be very good for a starter when based there.
1000 standard, 30, 33 or 36 per sector (about 45 average per month) and then the 1200 on top.

Anyone any idea how Wizz are doing financially, I understand Sky Europe are still struggling with their share price?
Wizz seem to cutting alot of routes, but then again other airlines are doing the same I suppose.
