Saudiisation rules do mean that Saudi nationals will get priority on any job. This is not the UAE. There are plenty of Saudi's wanting these jobs. I understand that there'll be a short period where expats are a "necessary evil".
The more attractive they make it for expats, the more attractive it becomes to Saudi's from Saudia.
i don’t understand why people keep dreaming on 14/14
please make the math on a 14/14 roaster from an airlines prospektive - even they would be willing to give it that’s not feasible in terms of planing - especially in a long haul operation
a simple europe layover consumes 35-48 hours with all the rest required
going to the us between 70-90 hours total time where a crew is blocked for that flight
14 day is 336hours so either those 14 days the **** is going to be flown out of the individual or it is totally impractical to roaster hardly anything
please get a fellow in possion of a EK roaster and make the math what is possible or not as those fellows have though schedules on a mix of mid / long / ultra long flying
14/14 can’t be a planing option - never ever
