Conditions were despicable when I last heard pre Covid. During Covid, as with most ME carriers Saudia let go of its expats in a ‘phased’ manner therby burning all bridges for them to come back. Many have long overdue pending court cases against salaries not paid or underpaid. Those that are left behind are the ones who had no where else to go whom no other airline would hire.
By mid 2022 there won’t be a single expat pilot on the wide bodies is what I hear. The 320 may still drag the expat until end 2022.
Hehe... Mostly garbage. Far from real situation. Looks like something personal between you and Saudia.
