Do I have to mention that all of them are very popular with local guys ( and roster is based on Seniority,so you get the idea) plus the fact that FRA is mainly assigned to Instructor Pilots as along with LHR are considered the most challenging airports of the network ����������. Training is very demanding even for a type rated pilot. If eventually you make it to the line then you will fly to the limits. Salary is second to none in the business. Most probably new joiners are based in RUH and that's not bad at all because the situation about the housing in Jeddah is not good at all

Thanks for the info. Can you answer a question? From the careers page, it appears that substitution of hours, ie. A320 time in order to move into a higher category in the wide body group is no longer permitted. Only hours substitution from a higher category to a lower category , ie. D to B is allowed. Is this a recent change?
Thanks
