thanks.
Scrolling through previous posts, you mention you know little on the Falcon and that it operates under some type of FAR (can't remember). But I imagine it won't be too far, in terms of conditions, from the SV contract.
What is your opinion?

[mutt]

Falcon 900 operates under FAR91, Falcon 7X operates under FAR135. The contract is the same as the airline with the same salary structure based upon aircraft weight.

ok, I'll search for the meaning of those FARs.
thanks

[mutt]

FAR91 operating a private aircraft for the owner, not for hire or reward.

FAR135 Non schedule operations for hire or reward.

From pilots point of view, FAR 91 has no duty time limitations, FAR135 has!

Hi Mutt,
Is that the SV Owned 320? also the tail livery is a temporary one or its a new livery?

Its owned by a leasing company, but Saudia operated, its not a new scheme, they just hadnt finished painting it...... Expect it in Jeddah on Friday and rapidly followed by 8 more

BTW, note the single overwing emergency exit, lots of rumors as to why it doesn't have two exits, but the fact is that it only has 136 seats! The SVA aircraft (not leased) will have even less

Three words -- COMFORTABLE SEAT PITCH (even in coach...). Can't wait to see it on Friday. Mutt, if we're sitting around waiting for class, do you know if we can come out to the hangar and see it on Friday?

Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia), Saudi Arabia’s national airline, has taken the delivery of its first Airbus A320 becoming the newest operator of the aircraft. The aircraft was acquired under a long term lease agreement with ALAFCO.

The A320 will be deployed on routes in the region, to Europe and to the Indian subcontinent, from Saudia’s hub in Riyadh. Depending on configuration, the A320-200s, will seat between 120 and 132 passengers in two-classes. The aircraft are powered by CFM56 engines.

Arrives in Jeddah tonight, 4 by the end of the month, 9 by the end of the year

BTW, as the A320 fleet increases, the leased fleet will decrease, 2x 757's will go Jan 1, the other 2 on Jun 1..... For those contractors with Atlas, be warned......

...the leased fleet will decrease

And, so it goes...ain't changed much in twenty five years...and more.
Ebb...and flow, with leased-in aircraft.
No surprise, except for the uninformed.

Screening for Captain 320 and FO B744

Hi Guys,

I have screening with Saudi Arabian Airlines in Jeddah next week for Captain A320 or FO B744.

Anyone have any "gouges" for the Technical Quiz, the Interview and the Sim Profiles.

Anything appreciated!
Cheers,
Nomad

[mutt]

FO B744.

......... No you are NOT.......... CLASSIC 747.

Mutt

[flyboy1972]

Hey Mutt,
Do you have any idea when the next 747 FO class might start??
Thanks

[mutt]

Next Saturday.

B747....

Mutt,

Re: Saudi Arabian Airlines Screening.

Thanks for that. I did not realise still had B747 classic with major ME airlines. After 9 yrs/6000 hrs+ on the B744 would not be an easy way back to the steam gauges.

Guys
Any info/gouges on the Test Quiz, Inerviews (Tech and HR) and Sim profiles/airport in use? Assume Jeddah?

Thanks,
Nomad
