82000 euros but with a lot of exclusions... I know some stories about pilots that didn’t get a penny after theyve lost their medicals/life.... so I suggest to be careful and get yourself a proper insurance.
On the top of that for this “tremendous” 82k you have to pay extra 20 euros every month which is deducted from your net salary. If you dont pay- you are “secured” up to 40k euros (this one is free of charge).

Well.... This fact unfortunately getting the value of this contract even more down. Taking into account that pay wise these guys paying less than Ryanair or Norwegian.... otherwise would be very good company to consider.

If I may ask, where did you got those numbers ?
120 000£ a year in Uk, if you pay your tax normally is not 6500£ but currently 6121£ with the mandatory 1% retirement (or you all need to tell me your secret, because it seems I pay too much tax ...don't hesitate to send a PM 😉😉
, so 6500£ afger tax on average a year would be around 130K£+ each £ above 100 000 is taxed at 60% in Uk ...
I m not saying your numbers are not true, I would be happy if wizzair offer this good package to pilots.
Thanks

I entered the EasyJet salary on www.uktaxcalculators.co.uk
Tax code 1287L to benefit the extra allowance for pilots.
When I check my salary in this tax calculator, I get more or less the same result.
Monthly pension contribution at Wizz Air is 100.80£ for Captains. Some of the salary figures I provided were after pension contribution, but some of them didn't have a pension contribution. Average salary should still be more or less correct. But to me, pension contributions are still part of your salary. You will only receive it much later.
No idea what the pension contributions are at EasyJet.

Jumping from not paying or keeping your side of the bargain clearly shows an unprofessional person who shouldn’t be trusted. When you loose that integrity, wait until the down turn and when you are desperate you will know the effects.
Be professional and decent......

I’m not really passing any comment just stating the facts, there have been several people leave without paying the bond at Wizz who are now in employment at legacy airlines. None of the ones I knew who did were pursued by Wizz Air in any way, most probably because in any employment tribunal A) they always find in favour of the employee and B) would throw light on their shady employment practices. FWIW I actually paid the remainder of mine, I was one of very, very few.

Career advice for free, You should ask for a letter before you work your last day, Legally no one is allowed to provide a bad reference, equally they are no required to provide a good reference, but the company MUST provide a letter stating your dates of employment at that company and the Job you had i.e. Captain or FO . That is all they are required to provide. Most companies now DO NOT provide references because if they a big enough they have a legal dept which prevents them providing anything but the law requirement. This is so they cannot be held liable by saying.......jonjoguy was a good pilot.....then at the next air line you stuff something up, they can be held liable. There is a lot of law suits and precedent you can look up for this.
As you know you will need that verification of employment for the next 5 years at least, just in case the company goes belly up as in Monarch and Primera, if you do not get that letter you have no proof and have to go the personal route for the reference, but most companies will want the CP, DFO , TRE, ref.
If you have the dates employed letter then there is no problem at all. You can ask for this even if you are not applying anywhere else and leave the exit date open.
This has saved me at least 3 times whereas I got the job because I had the exact 5 years covered either at interview or on day 1 of employment.
People like West Atlantic refuse to provide ref because they are very bad airline and practice many illegal activities and like to hold their employees to ransom, If HR refuse to provide it then write one your self and take it to your line manager and get them to print it on company paper and sign it.
Keep all these letters in your own file for future interviews if necessary.
You should also get a copy of your training file or at least your last OPC/LPC, you are much more attractive to a new employer if you present all this and a current criminal background check at interview

Decent advise but you missed one point
No line manager will sign any document without HR and their legal dept guidance in a real company so you might not get that. Better to be honest and present any items confirming you to have been there for those dates as proof......
If HR refuse to provide it then write one your self and take it to your line manager and get them to print it on company paper and sign it.

I have done this several times and never had a problem getting CP or TRI TRE signing it......as usual pilots don't really care much about what HR say, most HR people don't know the law. It is being honest because when you write it yourself you have the exact dates employed from and last day you left and your job title, that is all you need and all they are required to provide. Some companies will send a questionnaire to previous employer with the Q would you employ this person again? on it, a sneaky approach but a professional company would ignore it or write not applicable. Usually they just put the dates and job title.
For your security check and ID pass this is the information you need, no one provides or is interested in wether you did your job, went sick, or didn't show on time, these are all things the lawyers don't allow. Other items are not acceptable for security.

Hi Guys,
I am hoping one of you can help me. I have just completed my license and MCC and have just short of the 300 hours required to apply as a NTR cadet. I am seriously considering applying to Wizz as they seem like a stable airline and I really like the idea of flying the new A321 coming next year, but I cannot find any details regarding this cadet type rating online.
Does anyone know the cost, salary (if any), contract terms, roster and how difficult it is to apply. I am looking at a couple of airlines but Wizz is a promising option, if I only new more.
Thanks in advance
