No need to shout, bro. I am not comparing Lauda against Wizz, which might be a long needed improvement for many. Working for RYR from driving distance of one's home is as good as it gets in Europe.
I am comparing them against their own promises and perhaps how some people paint them. Also trying to understand what they are not saying.
Keep your enthusiasm, get on board and enjoy it. The stage is all yours.

Well, if you have this view already before getting a job, then cancel interview and leave that spot to someone else, who wants his logbook finally rolling..
No idea about cadets, but whenever I decide to leave, I can, permanent contract with all taxes paid. I doubt those 5k WZZ is exactly the same scheme.. They have 3 types of contracts, 5k could be that Swiss contract.
And by saying "work less" I mean DUTY TIME (spent in uniform) is not same BLOCK TIME! Yes, you may log 900 a year, or 90 a month, with around 140 duty hours same month. I used to have 200 duty hours per 100 block, as you noticed, it is 60 hour difference, or a week of 12 hours in the office. It is a HUGE difference. It is called productivity. And it is much higher than competitors, and that is due to short turnarounds, if you complain about that and rather go 1 hour standart, 5 bases with constant travels in between, go ahead, then tell me how terrible your life is!

I can agree with you about the advantage of short turnarounds and nice roster. At the and there is a huge difference how you fly that yearly 900h.

Yes WIZZ is with swiss taxation, so thats why it is around 5000 €. Do you know how taxation works at Lauda? From 68k yearly what is avarage net you get?

That swiss tax is also sort of joke and check with your local tax authority if they are happy with that.
Roughly LDA taxes for VIE are same as everywhere else - 1/3 of the gross salary goes to government. So take that 60k x2/3 /12 =3.3 k on average should fall into account if will have those 800 hours.
So far income is more or less around this. And then there is 13th+14th basic salary in a year.

hi guys, I've just got invitation for online assesment with deadline around 26th august. I've also noticed that on the ryanair career website lauda cadets option is disappeared. Do you think they have already reach the full amount of candidate? I heard from a frined of mine that they are looking for approx 150 pilots. Anyone received new DUB assesment date?
thanks for Halping

I applied as well, but haven't heard anything. for the fact that the vacancy has been pulled from their site does this mean that they already have enough pilots? or is it still possible to get the chance to be invited coming weeks? any info is appreciated, thanks

Hey,
I applied on the 6th of august. Got the online assesment on 8th and after the positive result i got the sim invitation about 1.5 weeks.
I am NTR Cadet level.
i do not know what that means that they closed the application. I think it is still likely that they can invite the ones who already applied. Maybe they just have enough applications for now and that is why the got it off .
