Sama info
With Sama taking delivery of up to 20 aircraft in the next 4 years there will be some movement on the hiring front relatively soon. Where does Sama do their training? Is the sim evaluation still done in the 767 in Bahrain? Has anyone heard back from Sama regarding an interview date. I received an application in April 09 and sent it in but have heard nothing. I also noticed that the email addy they used then is no longer valid.
Would someone at Sama like to help us out with some info please?
Warmest Regards,
HJ

Hi Ace,
Sama has had quite a few threads on this site however most seem to be comments on how the airline is run, ceo issues and maintenance, which leads me to believe that not very many people who comment actually work for sama. There are a couple of guys in the know about Saudi aviation issues and I hope to hear from them.
I was trying to get info in April regarding interviews and sim profiles and had a few helpful pointers, but then the hammer fell and Sama stopped all interviews. Collectively maybe we can pool our resources together and share any info.
If anyone in the know about sama would care to share some info such as hiring updates, new routes, which aircraft did they decide to go with, future growth plans, I'd certainly like to hear about it.
Thanks in advance..........

Desert drivers....
be careful, standby, take a look at the old treads, everything is still the same. They have shortage of crews and hiring is open, there are some agencies requesting pilots... like flightdeck recruitment.
good luck.

That a pilot in Sama has worked for JAL would make it hard to indentify him as several of them have.
Brazilian HR lady has left.
No decision as yet on aircraft type, it could go either way but will be announced soon.
No news on new routes although there is a list of desirables.
Sim evaluation still takes place in BAH ufn.
New COO, Suha Arkan, formerly US Airways.
