Wizz Air CEO József Váradi is making headlines for his comments on pilot fatigue. Váradi takes issue with how many Wizz Air pilots have been calling in sick due to fatigue, and is saying a business can’t be run this way. He even went so far as to say we’re all fatigued and still need to work, so pilots should as well. Here’s what he said:
“I understand that fatigue is a potential outcome of the issues, but once we are starting stabilizing the rosters we also need to take down the fatigue rate. I mean, we cannot run this business when every fifth person of a base reports sickness because the person is fatigued. We are all fatigued, but sometimes it is required to take the extra mile. The damage is huge when we are canceling a flight.”
Wizz Air’s CEO isn’t happy with how many pilots are calling in fatigued, so he’s suggesting that pilots should just show up to work anyway, because we’re all fatigued. That’s problematic logic, especially given how many airline accidents in the past have been caused by fatigue. I guess Váradi really wants his £100m bonus…

“Let us introduce our sleep-deprived crew.”
The Wizz and the Burn.
Consequences of the Mile High Club.
Fly Wizz, see Bang.
CEO to pilots:
Embrace the fly, take a Wizz, and zip it.
Wizz Air pilots are pissed.
Here’s a novel idea.
Hire more pilots.

He should be forced to fly around with a crew for an entire trip before he opens his stupid mouth.
What an idiot.
Knowing what could have happened to me...or happened because of me...this story is beyond disgraceful!
I wasn’t aware they were still in business. I guess I was thinking of Wow Airlines.
You know that the airlines insurance company can see this also.
Hire more pilots?
They can’t, the ones flying have chest pains and are already breaking regs by flying this way. The mandates will eventually ground most of the ones who were foolish enough to get jabbbbbed.
Tell them to “un-take” the mandated death cult shots and they will get rid of Long Covid which should correct the situation.
I’m so glad I stopped flying 🤪
