Hi everybody, i tried to find out but maybe missed and couldn't see.
nowadays i am thinking about to go QR or Saudia. is there anybody can inform me about first officer life in Saudia ?
basic salary
extras
overtime payments etc. ?
thanks.
Hi UdD,
Saudia is definitely NOT hiring any expat First Officers. Not now & not anytime soon, NOR is it hiring any expatriate Captains. The days of Saudia hiring expat Flight Deck Crew are over. Saudi’s only from here onwards.
In reality they’re retiring many of the more senior expat First Officers who were promised for years an upgrade in seniority order only to find that when their number came up that upgrades are for Saudi’s only. What’s more, many had their contracts cut short or not renewed.
