I know this thread is concerning commanders pay. But I am interested in what is the net income of an F/O before an finishing line training. Furthermore I would like to know how many off days are there, what is the schedule like (sectors a day, duty length, show times, ...)
I am interested as starting as an F/O, based Prague.
If you like, pls PM.
Thx

Hello:

I understand that there are no DEC positions but what about the possibility of upgrading and if so, what kind of timeframe are we looking at? This is not for me but for a colleague currently working at the same place as I am but with no possibility of upgrading.
Thanks in advance.

Dont know if this is helping but one RJ Captain did type rating and then 6 months in RHS before he was moving over. I don't think they will let FO upgrade on entry, but once 300 hrs may take a look if they have all other requirements for DEC. I have 300 PIC A320 but over 3000PIC Boeing and was tight call for me..

Wizz Air base preferences

Just wondered if anyone from the UK had experiences of life in any of the Wizz Air bases and had any words of wisdom to help choose between them.

The key to being happy in the Centre to East of Europe is through knowing what to expect from each base, as you allude to.

Wizz have 11 bases currently (12th in Wroclaw announced today). Some bases have waiting lists, such as: PRG, BUD, WAW. Others are seemingly less popular, perhaps BBU (Bucharest Baneasa) being one, mainly due to the cost of rental there.

Katowice is the biggest base. It is home to some of the Fleet Management, who are approachable and professional. The city is pretty grim, but the flying is varied and there are always lots of comings and goings.

There are a number of factors that help with pay, but the main is the number of sectors you fly. Bases with short sectors seem to provide better pay packets.

Cost of living varies, but is cheaper than home. You will need to pay tax to someone though. It's not a tax dodging place.

The airline is growing and is well run. I like it.

But the best advice I can give is to make sure your base has plentiful connections back to the UK.
