Hi Folks,

Are there a lot of american citizens flying for Emirates or Saudi?

Does Emirates hires a lot of FAA licences holders even if they are not american.

Thanks

5 Americans & 35 Canadians here in Emirates, with 51 other nationalities as well. No problem about FAA ATP's, experience is the important item, not the licence.
Cheers, AlphaProt

Forget Saudi, the number of expat pilots is rapidly dwindling, I suspect that they will have totally nationalized their aircrew within 24 months.
