I also had my line training delayed when I started but I had HOTAC provided for the whole length of my training period. That meant grounding periods, too.
Looks like in Brexitland they manage it differently.

You’re choice will be the best wizz destinations that everyone wants to go to… IAS, TIA, SCV, TSR etc. for how long? As long as you can survive there and if you upgrade to CPT you’ll go back there if you somehow manage to move to a base you like.

So in other words. You think they are only getting new pilots through the pipeline to move to Romanian / albanian bases mostly? Is there any word on where pilots are most needed for the Wizz network as for now?

Summer will be uncommutable most likely as it will be a hot mess like last year.
If 6/4 is commutable to you then it could be doable for most of the year…

It’s either 6/4 fixed or random based roughly on a 6/4 roster. Additionally you’ll be random without CRDO for 3 months in summer + Christmas period even on fixed roster.

Not the kind of people who'd own their past mistakes. In fact the same faces are being reshuffled in BUD. New positions being created, old ones cancelled then recreated in a few years time just to see the same group of people behind a desk all over again. Ops, training, all alike.

you won’t find a better bunch of people to work with on the front lines, but expecting nothing from management is still expecting too much of them.
They’re the only company I know that have deducted benefits instead of boosting them post covid…

company is hamstrung by its senior management and their very ex communist style of leadership. Crew are leaving as fast or even faster than they can be hired in the UK, not so sure about Europe but plenty of friends there aren’t happy and are looking to exit.

Summer will be a massacre with some 15% of the airframes without any crew.

They have been cancelling summer flights already and not refunding the ticket money that is basically theft. It is also causing great inconvenience to many.
Many I know there are about to bail out.

Various newspaper reports that bailiffs sent on non payment of refund court rulings just discovered a PO or mail box at the registered addresses. One guy only got results by sending the bailiffs to Luton airport and confiscate any wizz branded assets they could find!
How long can an airline continue like that, or the caa permit to continue like that?

I apologize for an off top question. Been thinking of applying for Wizzair screening but they have JOC requirement which I don't have. Most JOC training providers require MEP-IR meaning I have to go back to fly little piston twin and summing up all expenses it might be too much for a covid "retired-tired" pilot. I have around 2500 hours + previous airline experience with expired ATR tr. When I did my training JOC was not yet invented. Please advice on that JOC course, is MEP IR actually a hard caa requirement to enroll?
Thanks!
