Eagle is just another bottom feeder picking up the slack from the Umrah / Hajj market over flow due to the sheer volume of pax. They are affected by the quantity of pax SV allocate to then through NAS and other contracts that they are able to secure. As is known by the old Hajj pilots, if you piss off the Saudis you could be gone immediately.

It has been said that allowances are not paid on time but generally the pilots seem to get their basic monthly. It is the Cabin Crew that have been suffering more.

So if you love the disco scene in Jeddah and the cheap beers and topless waitresses feel free to to sign up. You could also look at Pulman, Air Atlanta and other bottom feeders doing the same thing and earn in USD instead of ringgit and also explore the freedoms of EASA and FAA employment restrictions.

Cheers and good luck,

Wooblah.
