This is old news. What's new?

He also forgot to mention that a lot of their routes are public service routes, hence no competition!

No competition isn't the point, you can't polish a turd... Even with a monopoly on every domestic pso route there'd still be no point operating with an outdated fare cap and no governement subsidy.
All they serve is to bring a couple of bedouins from the boonies to the bank!

India will get 767 service.

mutt

..... But didnt they know this before they got the licence? Didnt the research the economics of operating a B737 on routes where even with gov funding, Saudia operated 66 seaters on non-point-point services..... They have bleated about the fuel since day one......

I suspect they got some pretty good "Yes Men" for their consultants when they were developing their business case.

Do they have a base in Bahrain now?

I'm speaking with a 'recruiter' at the moment who is looking for B737 DECs, SFOs (for upgrade in six months), and FOs for a Saudi LCC with two bases of operation in the Kingdom. Now, she isn't able to disclose the company's name (there's a surprise) at present but my best guess is SAMA.

Anyone care to comment? Especially if this is a non-starter.

cheers,
Willie

Dammam and Jeddah as a new base. They have been recruiting for months and are the only 737 LCC in the KSA

mutt

.... they are the only B737 LCC operator with -300's..... But there might also be another operator with -NG's.... Expect to see them in the air around Hajj.

teddyr61

take a look at your own grammar before you start to through stones...i think most of the folks out there know what gouge means..
i'll say it so you can understand..piss off if you can't be helpful...
if i hadn't done a search, and came up with nothing, i wouldn't be posting!!!

teddyr61,
i suggest you do the pissing off because you just replied to one of the moderators of this forum.
if you can't handle his/her reply, then you sure as hell will not handle the sand pit. so there you go. piss off!!!

I along with 4holerpoler, try and keep the ME on an even keel, but we get countless repetative posts on the same subjects, with regards to recruitment at countless companies.

Perhaps i was having bad day yesterday and was somewhat less tolerant than i should have been. But when posting, be clear about what you are after and use simple language. Gouge doesn't mean anything to any non Norte Americano, except some action you may perform with a knife. Non English speakers would not have a clue what you are asking about!

I posted an announcement at the top of this forum, that users should firstly look for a current running thread on recruitment at various companies, most users happily comply with this request. Please do so, or i will delete, its the only way to keep this place in some sort of semblance of order.

wonder

is it true that sama will be grounding its fleet and going with wet lease instead?

seRIOusGRUdge

This roumor is not true but I believe that there are different aircrafts coming from another carrier in this region for operating the hajj flights.
It doesnt make sense to ground the aircrafts you have and bring more from another place. There aircrafts will fly in ksa on there regular schedul.
