e-mail address error
Yes I admit it did sound a bit dodgy but I contacted the web site host and they said it was an error on their side. The correct address is [email protected] good luck to anyone contacting them they are well worth the persuit.

kalair
Hi Olly,
I sent my application into Kalair on the 22nd of Dec and sent another follow up letter on the 6th of Jan. I still haven't heard anything back. Does this mean my chances are no longer good or do they just take a while to respond. I notice the ad says that interviews are in London in Jan, should I give up? I really want this job but would it be too much if I sent her another follow up letter?
I'm applying for the chef position. Do you know what specifics they are seeking for the position?
Any information, tips, or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you so much!

FLYING CHEF
I know of some people who have been interviewed and although the company name was not mentioned, the set up is as they described so I am sure it is the same.
I believe the interview is pretty intense, and the guys who were successful were asked to prepare a meal (3 courses) with different mains I think. There was not much in the way of direction for this and I think the aim was to prepare international cuisine and not arabian orientated. This was eaten by the interveiwer and her husband and they reviewed and critisised what was prepared.
The standard appears to be extremely high. I think those that were successful (towards end 2008) were going to be offered a temporary position and if successful, taken on permanently. The guys I know all had steady jobs and the lure of the position and salary was tempered by the fact that at the end of the trial period if not successful it would have been back looking for work.
Sorry it is not more informed, hope it is of interest.

I spent 3 years in VVIP in KSA hence know the market there very well.
If you are adamant about working for Al Walid bin Talal then contact KHC in RUH, I probably have some direct contacts there but I'll need to sift trhrough 1000s of business cards that are all in various bags!
I would strongly urge you to speak to people there, he is very particular about this staff, their appearance, boots etc nevertheless many FAs there are very happy.
You'd need to like RUH though as word is he is reducing his travel at present.
Why him in particular, trhere are many operators out there?

I'll see what I can dig up, but it may take some time!
In the meantime try contacting his HQ in RUH +966 1 211 1111 they should put you through to aviation division or give you the number. Hope you are think skinned as he is very particular on the sorts of FAs he wants in the cabin.
Do you have VVIP experience already?
How about NJME? I used to work with them and the rotation for FAs is great?

Also try NAS and Sam Air in RUH the former operate many RF aircraft (NAS Applicant System - Login), the latter operate for a senior Prince though I'm unsure as to where they recruit from, try Zenon and the other usual resources

Kalair Recruiting
I notice that Kalair have an advertisment for cabin crew on aviation job search web site. They are looking for temp and freelance crew. I heard from a friend that they have recruited one full time chef apparently the head chef from Buckingham Palace!!! The standard for this company is very high but hey they are the best payers so they can afford to recruit the best!
There seems to be a change over in crew as one of the crew members is getting married and another returned to Aussie. My pals have applied and one of them has an interview set up for London, she did make sure she sent in a really prof picture of herself which may have helped. good luck everyone!

Kalair
The work conditions for Kalair are probably the best in the private sector. They work one month on and one month off, starting salary is around 3.500 British pounds, the senior girls are on 5K per month AND it is TAX FREE. They get flown business class to and from work AND I heard they get good tips. oh and they also state they get Bupa medical insurance. The girls that get offered a full time position and who have been there a while all own their own houses and are on to buying 2nd properties abroad. Ive heard that the principal is really nice but very picky and that the girls are all like family which makes a change from the cut throat companys that most of us seem to work for!

The thing to remember about KALAIR or any other Mid-East VVIP Op is never mention the name of the "principal"...
Everyone "in the know" knows already knows who he is, and his name doesn't need to be mentioned...
As a veteran of 4 yrs + of VVIP PIC flying, take my advice...it's a great life, the company mentioned I believe used to be flying what was "THE" Kingdom aircraft and it was the job to have...they probably are still known as that...
Don't mention names...especially that of the "Principal"...and BTW...never talk about your adventures to hotel clerks or bartenders...."Loose lips sink ships"...
