@76 I have 1.5K medium TP hours. @sh they send you an e-mail with the confirmation that you have passed and then call you to make an appoinntment for the phone interview, as far as i understand it.

I applied for Non rated DEC and had my interview with Wizz Feb , 2011. I was successful but never got a call or email from them. I am now flying on the A320 as Capt in my company and received an email from Wizz 1 month ago asking if I am still avilable and interested in joining
I have sent them numerous emails since passing their interview but they never had the decency to reply.
Guys, stay away from this company unless your in absolute " dire straits "

A bit harsh I feel.
Wizz do not have the resources to answer everyone's emails. It is disappointing that you perhaps got lost in the system, but to suggest avoiding unless in dire straits is harsh.
Loads of people (myself included) were given opportunities for Command, Training and Management positions in very short order.
Lots of people took these opportunities to progress and then moved on to better things (myself included). Those who stayed are now VERY senior indeed. DFO/Fleet Manager/TRI/TRE/Base Captains......the list is endless.
If you want to speak to secretaries, join a legacy. If you want to fend for yourself (including chasing up applications and being resourceful) apply to Wizz Air. It is NOT a bad airline. It is a GREAT place to take opportunities.

Well how about a generic e mail saying something like:"We are experiencing delays in recruitment from whatever reason and we will...". Lack of resource for that too? Far from being serious there Wizzair, far from being serious..

The same could be said for: easy, Ryan, Jet2, Vueling etc etc.
And actually, why not ask some of the BA candidates who passed everything in 2007/8 only to never be contacted again?
Look through the fog of disappointment and see the truth.

One cannot blame Wizz for the delay in responding to emails. It's just the way they are. Actually like many companies are. I never got a response from them, for about 3 years. Then I emailed a contract agency and got one immediately. Try that if you really want to work with Wizz. As to how Wizz is as a job? Well it can be defined with one word: C.rap.

FInally got the call last Thursday, out of the blue, since I was expecting for a date to be arranged. Got me in the middle of boarding my flight!
ANyway, short and concise, a few hhrr questions, a memo item from my type, what is CAt II and what would you do if the Capt collapses...
NOw I have been invited for the final interviews and sim assesment.
1) Any light on the interviews (hhrr and technical.)
What type of qus on th technical?
How nice are the hhrr?
Any group exercises?
...
2) I thought the sim was a 737, but apparently it is on an A320.
Can anybody confirm?
What kind of session can one expect?
As always, good health and good luck!
