Saudia is recruiting 320 and 777 pilots.
An interview takes place in London, with 50 ATPL questions (not so difficult), some 20 questions to measure our "stupidity", and an interview . The interviewers are extremely polite, and the questions sometimes tricky....SAUDIA is paying your airticket, plus HOTAC for one or two nights.
If you pass, there is a second "round" in Jeddah, where you have to pass a sim assessment and medical examinations.....Then you must stay there, for at least 4 to 5 months.....Why? In order to do your Saudi school, sim and training as well as line....What else? You must obtain FAA (?) ATPL....!!!! The last was very "nicely" hidden from the interviewers....but noted in the invitation received a few days later. Although salary noted in interview is 3 to 4 thousands us$ MORE than offered.
After all this, I am looking for something else, adding the cost of the "bonding" , which means 1 to 2 thousands us$ less on salary, for some years....
