Should be easy for them to track down the HFO since he was an inspector at... the CAA

The temerity of this airline sending the bailiffs away saying they have no equipment or staff at Luton Airport - then the same staff meeting the new King there a few days later 🤯

Heard from a current FO that 20+ newly recruited FO’s for UK bases have had their start dates pushed back until after summer due to lack of training capacity.

For Cadet (NTR) positions, there is no JOC information in the requirements.
Can anyone who passes the assessment confirm that we need a JOC?

PPJN is your friend. It has all the info you need there. I think Romania is still country multiplier 1 so shouldn’t need to be adjusted

Romania's country multiplier is 1,45.

hello anyone has been called for NTR position cadet level WAH 4602 ? waiting long time ago but not a sign, any updates please

I got an invitation for an assessment but there aren't many or no dates available, do you know if there is a deadline to book the assessment?

Thank you!

Hello folks,
Do you have any informations regarding chances to get an italian base, if successful in the assessment ?
Thank you

Low. Expect Tirana or Romania, maybe somewhere else but I doubt much chance of getting the most wanted country on first joining…

is it WAH 4602 ? The status in my application says : “ once we launch assessment days, you will be informed via email and you will have the chance to book. “
when did you receive the email please ?
thanks man!

i do not really know about the dates, or deadlines

Literally zero. You will be offered a base, TIA and OTP at the moment seem to be in most need, then you can apply for base change after your Final Check Release and wait your turn in the waiting list. Waiting time depends on base growth and movements (upgrades, base changes, resignations, etc.). Some are moving fast, some are at a stand still.

I don't know what do you mean by WAH 4602. I got an email on the 12th of April and I see that the dates available are just 3/4 days ahead. I need time to study and I fly as well so need some time to study. I was expecting to get some day in May. My application just says "complete your additional step" which is book the assessment.

I know one guy got Rome base after 2 months of his release.

I also got WAH 4602 and my status says the same, still no links to book the assessment. I also saw a print screen from a candidate that got invited to an assessment saying that the position he got invited to was about to be fullfiled for the headcount requirements for the entire year. and that new assents will be launched in some months only for 2024 candidates. Anyone can confirm this?

I got an Invitation for experienced FO‘s, but I get only Dates two days in advance. Somebody know if there will be any Assessments in June?

I'm in the same situation, waiting for new dates, any advise to get prepared?

Hi,
Anyonw knew something about new pay scale / pay rise in W6 announced week ago? Started to be coneptitive finally with other LC?

Not worth mentioning - increase in sector pay only, basic and other elements stay the same. You might see 10% more overall in the busiest months, maybe 5% average across the whole year.

Not at all. Peanuts on variable pay. Bleeding pilots like crazy. Daily exodus. Some 40 acfts wet leased for summer.
Make your assumptions.

Yep. They started to cancel (and reduce frequency of) peak season holiday flights, it will be another interesting summer. But hey, they will be PINK "Punctual, Innovative, New and Knowledgeable".

Summer will be a massacre. I would not suggest wizz flights for holidays.
Hopefully by fall investors will take their decisions.
Otherwise diving steep into failure.

ah...they have no idea whatsoever.

A slowdown in recruitment doesn't match well with the current situation, it seems. Or are they going to ground their own aircraft and rely on ACMI companies for a third summer in a row?

That is obvious. And rely also on people flying from off.

Dear guys,
I have been shortlisted for an assessment for Wizz last week.
I can't actually book any dates in the near future, because the only date available is fully booked.
I want to be straight: 2 years ago the pass rate was ridiculously low (6/7 successful candidates out of 35/40 each sitting) I've been unsuccessful at that time.
But 2 years ago was a different scenario, and also my experience was lower.
What could I expect now ?
I fancy join Wizz but with already another job and other 3 offers, I don't want to waste my time and maybe to fail because of the colour of my tie ( you know what I mean).

If you have a job and 3 other options, do not waste your time. It won't be any better.

Can anyone shed any light on actual pass rates these days? They've been historically low with Wizz.

The reson why I fancy wizz is for my future upgrade (even if not soon), and maybe to get closer home one day.
I know that shifts are exhausting, and I'll be squeezed like a lemon, but it's good to move on quicker.
Anyway I was curious to know how much is the actual demand and the pass rate nowadays.
Thank you

if you wish and happy to be squeezed, flying max hrs nearly illegally, well, thats your place then.
Good luck for your upgrade. Best.
Aviation is doomed.

On the plus side I heard the pension is pretty decent and the selection process is quite relaxed!

Yep. Sure.

Speaking of the NASA-level assessment, didn't they get some hard cash from the Hungarian government for every assessed candidate at some point shortly after COVID? There was some hangar talk about this, but surely over a year ago. Basically, rumours were that the Hungarian government had some program for post-COVID unemployment reduction in place and they paid Hungarian-based companies for each interviewed job candidate as part of it. I cannot swear that this was true, but I've heard it from more than one source. In case it was indeed true, it made lots of sense to interview people in bulk for what was just a handful of positions. Does anyone have any more information on that matter?

Yes,there was one guy in telegram group who was trying to convince everyone that they sponsor tourism like that.
The way I see it, Hungary received 14.2 million tourists last year. I guess most of them spent more than 1-2 nights in Ibis hotel near Wizz Training Center. Imagine paying after that for few thousand jobless individuals who will stay in a middle of nowhere for 48(if passed the first day:}) hours and leave. Not to mention Hungarian government never made any favors for this airline.

Should I even mention that that guy who was behind this conspiracy theory didn't pass his assessment ?:ugh:

There was no such incentives announced by the government nor any related info reported by media outlets (the ones still in touch with reality).

Hello,

I will start my modular training soon. Does anyone what the assessment pass rate for NTR FO cadet level is (200 TT) ? Can one reapply after a failed assessment and what is the cooldown period? Also how likely is it to get the LCA base?

​​​

Would the person who PMed me the 15/86 figures PM me his username again? The message got deleted instead of archived..

Hello!

Around 15% normally.

Depends on the stage you failed. Usually 12 months.

You probably wouldn't get LCA as a first base, but you can jump to waitlist and wait for a base change. It may take up to 1 year for FO to get a desired base, but really depends on current situation
If you are starting now your traning, probably tou will get your license and ratings in 2025, which is too far for estimations. A lot of things may change until that time.

Good luck!

Vienna Base
 

hey guys.. any idea if wizz air is currently recruiting experienced a320 captains for Vienna base.. thanks heaps.. i would like to apply but in the job application it does not say anything regarding vienna base etc..

You can forget about Vienna base. The waiting list for Vienna is the longest in the network.
