dont be fooled
From my exp in the past 2 yrs back.. SL management will just use you for 3 months and throw you out . Pilots Union is dead against the expat and since the latest pay hike was to hush them from latest expt hiring.
No chance to be upgraded and fleet upgrade. Many Local exp pilots back in the market from Middle East and Indian Contracts and since both local airlines are under Govt umbrella only time will tell when it will be taken over by the locals on all wide body fleet. Dfo position is up for grabs and the new guy will dispose all the expt asap to please the locals, govt and Caa bodies.
Pay is cheap cost of living is high and local mafia pilots will make you live in nut shell.. Friendly crew and crm one hr before check in and half hr after sign out..
Desperate situation ...pilot agencies have been hired to place capt/fo on all fleet..Cadet training is kept on a slow pace for max use and less pay .
2 words...Stay away....rosy emails and friendly invitations is a front
many variations on contracts ...what u get is not other may have been given.
Most of good guys have left and the bad n ugly cannot make it outside
