And for your info there are many former A380 candidates who were called and some unsuccessful. For you to refer to my user ID as a reference to my qualification is rather dim by any standard.

honestly man, nothing worse than someone who blame others for its own failures. Anyway, I wish you the best and I hope you get a job soon (not bring sarcastic).

so could you publish what is total salary?

BarryMG 17th July 2022 12:53

I don't work there, but by my calculations and using PPJN figures, up to AED ~600k could be possible.

As far as the ATPL test, just because you need. people it doesn’t mean you have to hire everyone. If you are not willing to put any effort I don’t think you should blame anyone but yourself.

Hey pal, after talking like that allow me to rub your words around your face.

Former a380 pilot ( VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE) got called won't mention the circunstances but let's say for a very good position. Accepted the contract and got fired due to another covid wave, never got called again.
Former a320 pilot on an UAE company, got called failed the technical interview (+4k hours)
French army pilot, got rejected on the personal/tech interview.
What the actual f* are you talking about? Their recruitment team has been called out MANY times already and it's being changed at a pace except a few that have "good connections". Stop the BS and accept the situation. BTW, if you're a girl, the chances of passing skyrockets even if you're handicapped and has no motor skills.

The interview is absolutely doable with the right commitment. However, If you expect to pass the ATPL test without putting any effort you just fail. Plain and simple. I am not saying that you pass just because you worked for Emirates on the A380. Hours don’t really mean anything!! Probably they will have to “lower the bar” as Emirates did a few years back. Nevertheless, I hope they still keep a good standard and don’t hire people who like to “rub” words around people face!

Which is the best Wizz recruitment preparation website.......latestpilotjobs.com.......pilotassessments.com .........aviationinterviews.com....latestpilotinterviews.com ....? Are they all similar and just steal each others qs so they end up all the same?

Thank you. I am current cpt on a320 and as I may guess the initial test was much easier as it had 30% of the questions about type. There were some stupid questions about the number of seats on the company's fleet and so on. Math is pretty basic just brush up on how to divide/multiply on paper, that is prime numbers and etc. I trained on LPJ and it was more than enough. And a bunch of questions about general aviation staff: RW lightings, performance, gradients and etc. IMHO the first stage was the most difficult as 50% of the group left. The panel interview wasn't very difficult for me, but there were mostly captain's questions and a few regarding type. I wouldn't say I was as precise as they expected but it was ok. The next day was sim. I was asked to be seat support for cadet who unfortunately failed. there were steep turns, climb/descend with given v/s, intercepting radials, and flying to/from VOR. Instructors are very peaceful and understand that it isn't easy to fly a320 hadn't ever been before in FFS. In my opinion, the cadet failed coz was struggling with some basic exercises like intercepting radials and keeping flight parameters within limits. For me sim wasn't about handling, it was about decision making and time management. Finally, we were 5 at the psycho assessment out of 12 at the very beginning. One guy told me that if u get to the final stage you are 99% in. Will see.
Good luck

good. I completly screwed up with one of the psyco test, when u are flying on aircraft and have to control with keybord small a/c in one window, find an answer on question in an another window and notice what happend outside of the cockpit. it was very difficult for me.

Don't worry! The instruction time was limited for that excercise and I didnt realize that so I missed half of the instruction and after I was completely lost.
Anyway they told us that almost nobody failed that part so far... I think they are more concerned about the psycho test, in case you are a crazy dude or something...
So dont worry Im sure its a pass and hopefully see u soon on board then ;-)

Hello everyone, I applied back in May, and it's still saying "We are currently reviewing all applications". How long does it usually take for to anyone be invited to an interview?
Safe flights everyone.

Hi, it depends on your position. For cadets, it takes longer than for type-rated pilots. I heard that it may take up to half an year for NTR pilots. good luck.

RogueOne 10th August 2022 11:35

Are all assessments in BUD? I heard that a limited few might be in LGW?

How do you contact the recruitment team?

TBSC 10th August 2022 21:14

Cardiff base is binned as well from September. Wizz is trying to spin it as a "summer seasonal base", time will tell.

Alberto2210 12th August 2022 18:38

MacBook or Windows?
 
I would like to know from someone who actually works for wizz, if for training and work is better a iOS computer or a windows one, thanks

JliderPilot 13th August 2022 20:32

I would say windows based laptop

Doesn't really matter, all training materials should work on both, I haven't heard any complaints either way.

Hearmenow 17th August 2022 19:37

Please can someone give me ball park figures for a LTN FO interms of average monthly pay, days flying per month (in blocks) and what's the bond? Thanks

Giuff 18th August 2022 12:27

Windows laptop

cascado 28th September 2022 10:17

Any info given on type rating cost? Bonded? Up front? etc?

enzino 28th September 2022 19:32

If experienced 15.000 otherwise 20.000. If bonded, they look after traveling and accommodation costs, if you decide to pay upfront then you have to sort travel and accommodation yourself.

Time Traveller 28th September 2022 22:07

Sadly taken from post tax salary, not pre tax. I don't know why they do this, as I'm pretty sure the latter is perfectly legit.

enzino 29th September 2022 07:44

This is not correct. The gross salary is lower when bonded.

Source: my payslip.

Time Traveller 29th September 2022 08:39

I guess you're Europe. The UK taxman is brutal in taxing everything. Still, on this, a gross deduction should be possible.

enzino 29th September 2022 09:24

The same applies to Wizz Air UK and Wizz Air Abu Dhabi.

TBSC 6th October 2022 10:35

So long Sarajevo.

Dukaster 12th October 2022 12:51

Anyone got access to the virtual wizz event this morning?
Impossible for me to connect

AndrewLincoln 6th November 2022 14:54

Hi everyone,

Just got an invitation for Budapest but I can't select a date.
When I click on any date of the calendar I have the message "All event is full" or "Cannot find event".
What should I do please ? I know some people here had the same problem, but I can't find their post anymore

Thank you

Whispering Giant 6th November 2022 17:35

They haven’t uploaded any new dates onto the booking system, just keep checking it every couple of days for the next lot of dates to be released.

Did someone attend the Wizzair Pilot Event in Rome today? If so, was there a QR code for them to analyze your application faster (in 7 days)?

Vulka 6th November 2022 21:52

And more;Try with different device (I can’t do it with I pad i.e.) if doesn’t work you cannot book the date yet as already explained.
I had the same scenario.

Good luck

santacruz 8th November 2022 05:19

Did they go back to 5/4 roster yet?

🤣🤣🤣...no.
But they will have to at some point if they want to keep their planes flying

Back to 6/4, but at least they cannot plan you to finish after midnight on the last day like they used to. Only available in bases with at least 5 A/C, at bases with 3+ A/C next spring.

booze 10th November 2022 00:51

Guys, stop believing whatever you read in those presentations and pdf-s with magenta headers: 5/4, 6/4, base change policies, etc. can be all changed as they please. It's not part of any employment contract whatsoever and never will be unless the pilot group finally wakes up, organizes and gets a collective agreement signed containing the above mentioned policies and provisions. Until then it's all smoke and mirrors.
