Wizz Air pilots can be canceled the same day – E24

Wizz Air has recruited a large part of its staff through the Dutch company Confair, the newspaper writes.

Among other things, the pilots are self-employed. They are then responsible for paying taxes and social costs such as pensions, insurance, and sickness benefits.

According to the newspaper, pilots are paid per flight hour, which amounts to between € 0 and € 8,500 per month. In addition, the crew in Norway is covered by hotels and 50 euros in daily allowances.

Confair reserves the right to terminate the contract with immediate effect without prior notice. A possible dispute will be resolved by arbitration in the Netherlands, and thus in a closed-door meeting and without the possibility of appeal, writes DN. It is also stated that Confair has the right to terminate the contract with immediate effect and without prior notice.

Wizz Air communications manager Andras Rado tells DN that the contracts have confidential information and will not be shared or enforced in detail. He will not comment on how many with these contracts work in this country today or how many are directly employed by the company.

– The distribution in our employment contracts should be considered as sensitive commercial information and therefore we cannot share such details, writes Rado.
