saudia hiring
They will always hire pilots as pilots do not last long here. The average 2 years. They do not even finish the initial 3 years contract. The pay is the best in the Middle East and China. A 777 captain may earn easily US$30,000 a month! However the company is a mess. Their HR and bosses are the worst. New chief pilots every 2 months. They are never in the office, all the key movements are delegated to Pakistanis and Indians (both with stone age management skills in Saudi and their respective countries; see airlines from India and Pakistan ....enough said)
The HR office in USA is in DC not Houston. There the "girl friends" of some Saudis with power just use the traveling benefits and are never in the office!
The last course for the A330 started a few months ago with 7 pilots and today only 2 are left and will leave soon! They were mostly Egyptians from Egypt Air, experienced in the A330. They are Arabs, Muslims and they could not digest the "culture". Just figure out what it can do to a red neck!
If you need money and have the patience to take their sh.... for a few months, get the rating, get the time, get the fabulous paycheck and then stay if you can. You will probably leave in 18 months maximum.
