My guess would be that they simply try to avoid default on assets due to war exclusion clauses. Whatever it costs, sadly. Wzz is known for not caring about their employees.

Anybody that went to Vilnius yesterday and wants to share that experience?

Thank you in advance!
Do you have any feedback?

Hi likair,

I went to Athens and they had two presentations.

The agenda consisted of
  • Company introduction
  • Pay scales
  • Additional Benefits
  • Base and Roster
  • Q&A
At the moment their interest still lies on experienced FOs and CPTs. After summer this will turn to Cadets, most likely..

They don’t have to, rostern pattern is not even mentioned in the work contract you sign with wizz. It’s a “concession” that can be taken away
at any time, as it happened often in the past, and also now, when short of crews.
Be grateful when you have it, but don’t count on it.

I think they are going to be hit pretty hard.

Wizz haven’t hedged any fuel from what I have read!!!
Ryanair hedged about 80% for this year and already hedged for next year.
Predictions on oil going to $200 a barrel by year end. With fuel making up 30% of the bottom line plus Eastern Europe in a mess I think they will struggle. Share price is down nearly 50% from a month ago.

No reason to post. Each base is so different right now, one could say these are totally different companies.

At my base we have currently something very similar to a 14/7 pattern but its going to disappear soon as we are extremely short of people, both seats

OK Thanks guys. I would really like to go back to UK but it doesn't sound like its a good idea to leave another job to go to Wizzair right now, especially with the war. I hope for everyone's sake and the industry that security situation / roster pattern / salary scales improve soon.

I have a CS25 type rating with experience on type, currently unemployed. In January I received the 'forwarded as an applicant' email for UK non rated, experienced FO. I have heard nothing since then. On linkedin I am seeing many brand new flight school graduates getting jobs with wizz somehow. Does anyone know how the selection procedures are working right now?

Flight school graduates have 1 significant advantage compared to you: they will not leave the company until they get the hours. You will leave wizz in a few months when better contracts will start appearing.
Also many of these guys are from WAPA and wizz already paid a lot and has no reason to delay these guys.

It's horrible to say that all my friends currently unemployed have one thing in common.... they are older and experienced First Officers. They are watching cadets get jobs whilst they are getting ignored. And it's not only WizzAir doing it.

Attending the open days gives you a much higher chance to get called to the assessment, especially with your profile. Yes, it is not cheap, but it makes you stand out compared to all of those who just sends the application online. It worked for me many years ago.

I'm awaiting a call up to an assessment day now. Any idea of when that might be?

Like others I'm an experienced FO with a current type rating.

Fingers crossed I don't get overlooked for a cadet.
