Make your assumptions.
Yep. They started to cancel (and reduce frequency of) peak season holiday flights, it will be another interesting summer. But hey, they will be PINK "Punctual, Innovative, New and Knowledgeable".

Summer will be a massacre. I would not suggest wizz flights for holidays.
Hopefully by fall investors will take their decisions.
Otherwise diving steep into failure.

A slowdown in recruitment doesn't match well with the current situation, it seems. Or are they going to ground their own aircraft and rely on ACMI companies for a third summer in a row?

That is obvious. And rely also on people flying from off.

Dear guys,
I have been shortlisted for an assessment for Wizz last week.
I can't actually book any dates in the near future, because the only date available is fully booked.
I want to be straight: 2 years ago the pass rate was ridiculously low (6/7 successful candidates out of 35/40 each sitting) I've been unsuccessful at that time.
But 2 years ago was a different scenario, and also my experience was lower.
What could I expect now ?
I fancy join Wizz but with already another job and other 3 offers, I don't want to waste my time and maybe to fail because of the colour of my tie ( you know what I mean).

If you have a job and 3 other options, do not waste your time. It won't be any better.

Can anyone shed any light on actual pass rates these days? They've been historically low with Wizz.

The reson why I fancy wizz is for my future upgrade (even if not soon), and maybe to get closer home one day.
I know that shifts are exhausting, and I'll be squeezed like a lemon, but it's good to move on quicker.
Anyway I was curious to know how much is the actual demand and the pass rate nowadays.
Thank you

Good luck for your upgrade. Best.

On the plus side I heard the pension is pretty decent and the selection process is quite relaxed!

Speaking of the NASA-level assessment, didn't they get some hard cash from the Hungarian government for every assessed candidate at some point shortly after COVID? There was some hangar talk about this, but surely over a year ago. Basically, rumours were that the Hungarian government had some program for post-COVID unemployment reduction in place and they paid Hungarian-based companies for each interviewed job candidate as part of it. I cannot swear that this was true, but I've heard it from more than one source. In case it was indeed true, it made lots of sense to interview people in bulk for what was just a handful of positions. Does anyone have any more information on that matter?

Yes,there was one guy in telegram group who was trying to convince everyone that they sponsor tourism like that.
The way I see it, Hungary received 14.2 million tourists last year. I guess most of them spent more than 1-2 nights in Ibis hotel near Wizz Training Center. Imagine paying after that for few thousand jobless individuals who will stay in a middle of nowhere for 48(if passed the first day) hours and leave. Not to mention Hungarian government never made any favors for this airline.

Should I even mention that that guy who was behind this conspiracy theory didn't pass his assessment ?

There was no such incentives announced by the government nor any related info reported by media outlets (the ones still in touch with reality).

Hello,

I will start my modular training soon. Does anyone what the assessment pass rate for NTR FO cadet level is (200 TT) ? Can one reapply after a failed assessment and what is the cooldown period? Also how likely is it to get the LCA base?

Around 15% normally.

​​​
Depends on the stage you failed. Usually 12 months.

Also how likely is it to get the LCA base?
​​​
You probably wouldn't get LCA as a first base, but you can jump to waitlist and wait for a base change. It may take up to 1 year for FO to get a desired base, but really depends on current situation
If you are starting now your traning, probably tou will get your license and ratings in 2025, which is too far for estimations. A lot of things may change until that time.

Good luck!

You can forget about Vienna base. The waiting list for Vienna is the longest in the network.
