  • We all know that there are not that many type rated and experienced pilots around willing to give up their seniority, jump ship and move to Saudi.
  • "Many Nationalities" good luck with your multi cultural aspirations and sorting out the wheat from the chaff, certifying qualifications from dodgy places, fake licenses, parker pen hours and the biggest issue which will be interviewing 30 candidates to find that only one is suitable. Established carriers can do this as their ongoing recruitment numbers are fairly low and they typically only need non type rated FOs. When you need to recruit large numbers of experienced Captains and FOs you won't have the time or the resources to low ball and fluff about. You need to target reliable demographics with experience and time on type, and for that you will need to pay.
  • Market rates, good one. Even with the + 30% loading which is the standard expat starting offer for relocating from the Gulf to Saudi it won't go close to attracting experienced pilots.
  • To quote STC "Good luck to them is what I say".
