Can you reccomend any electronic logbook that may be suited for synchronising with Wizz Air software?

enzino 10th November 2022 11:46

So far they have kept their word and my 6/4 in the first month is more like a 5/5. I got my base change 3 months after I lodged my request, but this of course depends on the base you are applying for.

Yes, there are a lot of things they can improve. And they should.

Recruitment days for pilots in India and for cabin crew in Indonesia? It seems that the people from their neck of the woods are not very keen to join them.

Hey. Does anyone know if Wizzair invites people to the assessments if they have already failed it once? Did not pass the interview, cadet level. They did say I can reapply in one year but I have no idea if they actually do invite people have already failed.

Hi guys.
Is there anyone here who works at the base in Kutaisi? I would like to know what are the working conditions there? what kind of roster? how many hours per month? If it is more convenient, direct message me please


Also could anyone explain advantages and disadvantages between local and CONFAIR contracts?

enzino 15th December 2022 11:39

They do. They did it with me and I am in now.

IESS 16th December 2022 01:28

They have plenty of internal applications for italian bases, they will just recruit for the least popular bases

Did I miss something? Never heard of a TRN base opening for Wizz. Must be new...do you have a link by any chance?

enzino 30th December 2022 20:46

I did hear some rumours, but still nothing is confirmed. I wouldn't be surprised, they would fill the gap left by Blue Air.

Newcomer2 31st December 2022 06:33

Ryanair has already filled the gap

Ryan have 2.
Plus 2 Wzz airframes, capacity restored 😂

Hello guys,
I've gotten an email saying "Forwarded as an applicant.You have been added as an applicant to this requisition"
A month has gone without any additional information or invitation for an assessment. Anyone else in the same boat or had a long wait time for the assessment?

Cheers.

In other words it means that you will be able to book an assesment, when slots become available.

Are you NTR Cadet? I was told by other candidates that at the moment there are no slots for NTR Cadets.

It's a good idea to start preparing as well, so when slots become available, you can pick an early date.

Oh ok, yes I am applying as a NTR cadet. Thanks for the information. Greatly appreciated.

ctacik 4th January 2023 20:20

How can you apply for a specific base?

ctacik 5th January 2023 06:58

Can you propose some specific preparation site or program?

Newcomer2 5th January 2023 09:02

You can't. At the interview they will ask you your 3 favorite bases, with no guarantee whatsoever to get any of them (unless they are one of those really !!!!ty bases they can never crew, like BCM, CRA or SCV). Then you will receive your contract with a totally different base (again, where they can't find enough volunteers to go).

Thanks! I was thinking Georgian bases, probably nobody wants to go there but on the other hand you can have long flights from there

Cmd.Nuno 8th January 2023 22:08

Hello,

Does anyone know if the assessments are still happening? I applied for NTR experienced FO (over 2500hrs factorized) but still didn't get any invitation.

Thank you!

EI-DAC 10th January 2023 11:19

2 bases will be closed at the end of the month: Bari and Bacau.

Up to date salary
 
Does anybody know what is the salary like for DEC / various bases?

Thank you!

Not enough for the instability, shame and chaos for working for this mob. For the U.K. AOC £60.5K basic (there is basically no additions worth speaking of) plus allowances that in good times basically doubles this figure but can not be relied upon….

Probably not worth attending the virtual open day today based on those figures. £60.5k is an insult!

R T Jones 12th January 2023 09:57

As I understand flight/duty pay is quite a significant part of the overall package. Just a comparison from April the basic at easyjet is £117k.

737 Jockey 12th January 2023 11:52

£60.5k is not gonna help much with a mortgage application in the southeast of England.

117 basic? So you have to add flt hours and extras? Wow

Alloy 12th January 2023 18:04

To give an example of how basic it is, pay is not even basic if sick for one day, rather it is statutory sick pay (£22/day ?!?) and absolutely nothing else that personally I consider a flight safety conflict.

As mentioned, this basic salary is useless for any mortgage application in the U.K.

The chaos within the company I consider the largest challenge. Only pluses are nice set of crew and quick promotion prospects.

This is exactly why I believe that there will be a huge exodus of crew in all AOCs and Wizz is going to be in serious trouble. Aircraft deliverys will keep coming but there will be no one to fly them.

No need for future tense here. It's already happening since last April hence the dozen or so wet-leased aircraft, the seven bases closed in the last six months (in the midst of the upturn) and the mass cancellations.

Yep.
High rate of resignations currently.

Hi, just curious about sources ? And to go where ? Thanks

BarryMG 17th January 2023 06:48

Don't know about resignations, but recruitment and CMD upgrades are going full throttle, needing all positions: (good) DEC applications have basically dried out, so there is a big push for internal upgrades, causing in turn an even bigger strain on FO side. Just keep in mind that bases offered will be mostly in Romania, Albania or Georgia, you will have to wait for a transfer if you want to be somewhere else.
