...there will probably be a proviso in the contract to hire Saudi's wherever feasible. So it might not be a 2 expat crew in some cases, in which case the number hired will be less than that.
Another aspect is the internal hires will free up slots in the PHI domestic roster so it might be a good opportunity for some single-engine pilots to move on to twins (my hunch only, tho).
