Talking New 'ab-initio' vacancy with Gulf Air

Gulf Air have reintroduced a vacancy for low hours, non type rated pilots. They call it their "Abintio vacancy"

Gulf Air - Vacancy Description

They seem to have laxed some of their requirements. The most notable one being that non-Bahrainis it seems are eligible to apply and be type rated by the company! That's a first! This programme used to be under their nationalization scheme for many years and there was a clear stipulation that it was only open to Omani/Bahraini nationals (recently only Bahrainis).

They've also increased the maximum age from 35 to 40 years of age and they have dropped a specified minimum age too - used to be 19.

In exchange for the type rating, you'll be bonded to the airline for two years which sounds pretty good to be honest.. (on reduced pay ofcourse).
