Out of curiosity guise, do they still do one month on and one month off work pattern?
thanx

taupo2, the advice I was referring to was yours, " Don't take advice from someone that wasn't selected".
I just don't know how to use the quote features on this site......

Sama never did a 1 month on, 1 month off pattern, that was NAS and I believe they have since seen the stupidity in that way of doing things so it has ceased.

Don't hold you breath when it comes to HR there, nothing will change, nepotism common...what's new in the sandpit!

Recurrent sim still being done in UK, 733 sims hard to find.

New pilot contracts on the way.

Cadet pilot scheme being worked on to put Saudis in the right seat.

"Sim evaluation still takes place in BAH ufn."

767 sim is gone...

Hey Hawkerjet, no problem. I was replying to the comment made by Nerof53.
I believe Sama will be interviewing in LHR soon. Probably using Oxford's 737-300 sim for the evaluation.
Some jobs suit some people and some don't. I'm sure there are guys at Sama who are content with the job and others who are not. Same thing with any airline, conditions can always be improved. If you like it stay----if not, work to improve things or leave, just don't hang around with a negative p'sed off attitude.

Well that is simple .Just experience like I did with Sama the same story that I posted before and... and the rest comes along.
I just wrote that facts that happen to me that is all.
No negative attitude or other negative emotions Just pure facts.
Those suggestion comes after conclusion of my personal story,those are the results of what happen.

Hi all,

I have done a search but had no success yet...

I have been invited for an interview in LHR in a few days. Been told there is an interview, pyschometric test, English test and sim check.

Can anyone advise on the process, questions asked? or sim profile?

Regards

mutt

Is that the same guy who was with Sabre Aviation Solutions???

sim profile is simple, raw data flying without F/D and A/T. Maybe holding entry , ILS tracking. If you familiar, they're using new boeing procedure (stage II ). You might want to check Manchester approach plates.

good luck

Same guy...

Cheers arba!

Any info on the type of questions they ask in the interview? ie, 737 tech etc

Thanks

arba

maybe the standard fire drill, the single pack operation affecting a flight,
take-off warning's trigger, red parking brake light means, not that deep if you're not current.

frozenpilot

Thanks!

Incidently, I am current on type, but not aware of the significance of parking break red light, other than red is on???

arba

ha3x! i am not good with systems, but they say the "trapped" pressure may NOT sufficient to hold you, even when it is illuminated.

Gents,

Could someone please advise me who to contact at Sama reference pilot recruitment.
I've tried completing the oneline application, but to no avail. When i ring saudi, the operator cant help me either. Cant understand english very well.

I've just been made redundant with 3000hours. 1000 hours on each.B737/B757/B767.

Thankyou for your help.

desertopsguy

Bigfoot, you have a pm.

FrankAbagnale

Just another 737 jockey out of work

and don't forget to ask at the interview how long it will be before your family can join you (the answer should be 3 months).
