Wizzair waiting list
 

Hi to all!

Is here any pilot who is on the waiting list for starting with them?

Any kind of info would be appreciated :ok:

Did you pass the interview a long time ago ? I have mine in January, but it looks complicated for me to go there in Budapest. Are they serious ?
Thanks

I passed it on Aug07.....
They told me that I´ll receive news not before the end of 07.

Regarding your question if they´re serious or not.... It´s gonna be better ask directly to any colleague who is already flying with them

Hi,
there was always a long waiting list for Wizz even years ago although they operated only 4 planes!!!

....but to encourage all who are waiting out there:

If you have passed the interview,Wizzair will offer you a job.:hmm:

The salaries are ridiculously low though aren't they??? 40000€ for a captain? Oh dear.

Thank´s for the fresh air....waiting for almost 6 months

Add another 24000 euro/per year Flight pay on to Captains Basic and 12000 euro for F/Os.
(Average, unless you get BBU as a Base) then you trade hours in your log book for less sector pay. I'd say hours in Log book are worth more. Plus at the moment your accomodation in BBU is still paid for.

Swings & Roundabouts.

BR.;)

Did the interview yesterday, told if acceped, the sym would be some time in January. Seems like the waiting list is quite short now,
Cheers

Add 24000€ to 40000€ = 64000€.

That is still very low. It is less than a jet FO earns in Britain.

Why are the wages so low? Why do people work for that money? ANy ideas please, because I am confused.

Slightly higher I'd say stansdead, from what my pals are earning, probably more like 20% extra then what you wrote. The pay is the way it is due to the average Pilot wage in this area of Europe, Look at the wages of Malev, Lot ect and you will soon realise the situation.
Cheers

The wait is short but only for Captains, plenty of FOs on the waiting list, and they have to wait months before start date.

Dentist,

I see. Thankyou.:eek:

Stansdead,welcome to eastern europe,what is the average salary for workers in the uk 1500-2000Euro ???
Some days ago I read a report and it says that the average worker in Poland earns 200-400 Euro.

Just as Dentist said,it is average in this area.There are many companies out there who pay less on the Airbus,Boing, although they operate plans in Central Europe (Niki....)

If I understand, for a first officer, you have to pay transportation and hotel to Budapest for the interview and then again same thing for the sim. After you wait few months to earn very small salary. Strange no ?

Interviews were done in WAW ( not too sure if they still are)
They pay return ticket on any of their routes, plus Hotac.

BR.

Interviews have also been at BUD. If you use the Wizzair network to get there, they pay for the flight.

Hi all ... Did you guys apply directly to Wizz or via Confair? Thanx a lot

Direct Vie the web site.
Cheers

I'm on the waiting list as well. Did my type-rating in Madrid in November 2007, was told they will contact me this year :)

Anybody who recently started can tell us how long the wait was?

I supposed the wait would be shorter for somebody with some hours on the Airbus as they are short on training captains (as every other company).

Cheers!

Isn't it funny: I am the one to answer my own question!

Just got a call from WizzAir that I can start beginning of February. I had my interview in October and finished my type rating beginning December. Still have to do my base check at Wizz.

I hope this helps and inspires everyone who is still waiting. See you at WizzAir!

Cheers!

Anyone has gotten into Wizzair through CAE Madrid ?

hmmm....64K euro is 48K GBP add 20% thats 9k. 57k GBP for a A320 captain, doing 85hrs a month, living in eastern europe????

And there is a pilot shortage?

if you ended up in poland on that sort of money you'd live like a king.

And if you lived in Zimbabwe you could buy the whole country. Not the point.

its exactly the point, dont like it then dont bother getting a job there

Not intending to. But at that rate of pay, I gather there is NO pilot shortage. Which was the point.

ant1: yes:

- interview october 2007
- type rating finished 8 dec 2007
- started at wizz 1 feb 2008

Glad to hear that SC :D

So almost a year went by between interview and TR, right ?

Any age limit for Wizz ?

two months or so ?

:O yeap 2 months :uhoh:

Folks, I realy don´t understand what you want. You want 100 k a year, then stay in the UK. If you are happy to make 65 to 80 k a year, then move to eastern europe... yes move there... and you will see, you never had more in the pocket at the end of the month.
