Challenge, ask anybody within Wizz to provide you written evidence of these agreements and contracts, you will never get any!
They will not give you any written proof that can make them "liable"!
Isn't ironic, Poland is the "new tax haven", what is it Monaco of Poland?
Let's see when other companies starts outsourcing their work force like this how it will be, when these TC's becomes the norm!
Have in mind, Wizz don't even own the aircraft they clam they do, they are ALL leased!
Current status is all the experienced Captains are line trainers, the experienced FO's leave, new DEC (rated and non rated) flying together with Cadets!
It's not a matter of if, it is a matter of when!

Where did I ever say that the pilots wasn't pleasant?
I do not have ONE single bad word to say about the pilots working in the company, everybody I have worked with and talked with have been great guys!
There are much bigger wheels in motion, which hopefully will stop such practices, as they do not even try to make it look correct.
And about choosing the contracts, new Captains unless they are home-based are told to take Confair and pay cuts.

The social security contribution in the EU is based on the residency
Pension will later be paid by the country in which you were based.
For income tax you have to comply with the DTA's between country of residence, country in which you are based and CH. Complicated stuff, which needs professional advice!

Skipping classes, if he was resident in Poland he would not need to do a tax return in the Netherlands which he claims to do. And he claims that the Dutch tax authority is perfectly happy with his returns and not paying taxes. So since he does tax returns in Holland he is likely seen as resident in the Netherlands.
As such he will eventually get a nice tax bill from the Dutch tax authorities.
He is also completely unaware that years in EU do not count towards state pension in NL. In fact quite the opposite, you can volunteer to pay the extra social taxes for AOW so that you do build full rights to state pension in NL. If not the other EU country is expected to cover state pension for those years at their local rate according to that countries legislation.
I would take his "knowledge" with a grain of salt!

I'm sorry n77 we have a freedom of speech.. Why taking the position of the censor?
In fact I think it might be the right time to discuss openly our terms and conditions.
Why hush hush?

Skipping Classes " discuss openly our terms and conditions."
Open discussion!!! Reality is that we are own worst enemy. In normal circumstances, if you can improve your situation, and get into a position of influence, it would seem reasonable that such discussion could and should take place.
Yes we sign a contract, however we do not sign our contract in blood! But many of these companies prefer to have one-way communication, this is not unique for Eastern Europe, as we can see with FR, however there is a culture of very authorian company culture in East / Central Europe, compared to Western Europe.
Try to raise your voice to want improved conditions, and you will be stabbed in the back by your colleagues , this can be done by opposing improvement of TC suggestions / ideas or / and refraining from taking a stand, not giving support when others stand up and put themselves in the spot-light!
Yet shortly after they will still go around moaning and complaining about how bad their TC's are!
These companies work with a big whip from the top, they believe they can control your life, your roster, your holidays, your base, your commuting possibilities, your upgrade chances! All these factors are controlled by power hungry management from the top, who are not afraid to "punish you" if you have been a "bad boy / girl" Without some kind of union that can protect your interests you are left to accept whatever they throw at you, legal or illegal!
As the piece below from another PPRUNE thread illustrates, the illusion of better jobs after some experience, is slowly fading. If companies like Wizz do not improve their TC's, other companies will follow them to become equally competitive, other companies will also lower their TC's
From another thread regarding FR / NAS - similar applies to Wizz.
"low pay, lousy roster, nasty management, etc., etc. (And it was & still is.) They were all going to build their time & then leave & here I would ask the question, "where are you going to go to?" All of the airlines have continually lowered their Ts & Cs & there are now no places left that offer anything like the conditions that we all took for granted back in the eighties & nineties. Now, if those same people: the Ryanair, Jet2, NAS pilots told the likes of O'Leary, Meeson, Kjos, et al, to shove it & walked out, within a day all of our professional lives would improve. "

Thanks for the help. I tried applying again, but it still shows no status, does that mean I have to wait a year. I didn't get an e-mail telling me that I was unsuccessfull. Thanks

Hi, same issue with me. I completed my application a month ago. I logged in again to check and at the "View Status" section is blank.
All my uploaded docs are visible. I haven't been contacted by the company.
Any ideas??

Blank status
Welcome to the blank status privilege club...
What does that mean? Easy... At the present time your profile is not needed!
I applied the first day when Wizz started again to recruit (31/07/2014) for rated/non rated pilots w and w/o experience!
They have been recruiting a lot of experienced pilots rated and non rated. Few people I know started with them for the last few weeks.
Open days... I am interested as well... I would appreciate to know what to do with our applications? Start again, expecting a call or just forget about it!

Does anybody know what bases they are recruiting for this winter?
Also anybody know what a good study guide is for the assessment, especially for someone who has been out of the JAR/EASA game for 3 years?
