less than 5% loadfactors on DMM/SHJ flts. hopefully with al tayaar helping in sales it should improve

mutt

What did you expect, they announced the flights on the 12th and started them on the 15th.... I havent seen 1 advertisement for them apart from a "direct email".......

Its good to see them operating internationally.....

Do a search, there is a very detailed report on their salary structure hidden in this forum.

Thanks Mutt, I received the offer letter today and the details previously posted are not accurate. My offer was quite a bit higher.

Next training on 29th May in Bahrain. Anyone joining this batch? who has the B737 SIM in Bahrain?

hi mutt
you don't need a letter but if you are an aramcon they have made a small deal with them to use planes and in return they will not grab their pilots but there is a way around every thing

mutt

I presume that this is in response to post #138.
Ummmm... i keep hearing that you dont need a letter of no objection, but in real life i keep seeing people jumping through hoops trying to get permission to jump across from one company to another without leaving the kingdom. But as you said, this is sandy arabia, so anything is possible with the right "wasta"..

747fanatic, I understood that their simulator training was in Casablanca as there are no 737-300 sims in the gulf.

Just to add to the rumors, SAMA are trying to dump 50% of their PSO routes as they arent making money! Unfortunately for them, nobody wants to accept them!

spice jet is open and have respect for all nationalities what's wrong with FLY SAMA it was run by all Brazilan pilots in the management , why should an Brazilian leave FLY SAMA, they are (Brazilian) are in China or Middle East and they try to control the company not to accept other nationalities except Brazilian , heard 50 pilots from Brazil went to Emirates last year only less than 10 passed the sim. assesment also they making trouble in Macao, read the post in Far East forum, AIR MACAO

jetman61

i was just responding to an old post where a brazilian pilot was asking about jobs in the far east.
also i though delany was running sama.he is a nice gut too.

speedtwoten

My dear jetman61, okey I do understand, just wondering why a brazilian asking a job , normally they control the job opportunity for their blood group , and I know there are good brazilian guys but 10 out of 10 millions

wonder

were you rejected by Sama? or just making a statement?

bomos

Hello all,

i have seen the statements of this gentleman about nationalities, and SAMA, i would like to say that the company is not run by brazilians, it's a genuine Saudi company and the management is british and american. But if somebody is refused, or not accepted is because he doesn't have the qualification required by the Civil Aviation Authority or the Company. By the way, the enviroment among the pilots is excelent, Brazilians, Americans, Indonesians, Phillipinos, Saudis. It looks very unprofessional and not ethic to read such coments above from another person concerning a peculiar nationality; or it's a lack of info or misunderstanding. The last note, is that SAMA is hiring capable pilots, type rated, with a certain amount of hours to help developing the company, bussiness and aviation in Saudi Arabia and serve better the Kingdom and middle east. Let's keep the standards and ethic in a higher level.

Best Regards.

I'm rejected by FLYSAMA???? I'm sorry not, I'm will not flying with them in their brazillian samba enviroment or apply a job with them

BOMO just count how many Brazillians working with SAMA, and compare with other nationalities??? who is your Chief Pilot, you must be one of the samba group with your nice statement for SAMA, well the company is not bad at all to serve the Kingdom, but be equal and be proffesional we know a lot of Brazillians need job but how about other nationalities??

wonder

if you were not rejected by Sama, so why are you so upset with them. Brazilians or not, it is a human nature to employ people that you feel comfortable with. I am not defending discrimination here.

bomos

I have to agree with you Wonder, i don't want to understand hard feelings from somebody else, life is an eternal learning process for those interested, best regards.

mutt

Bomos, would you kindly point out any message where i mentioned the nationality of ANYONE working in SAMA! I dont like getting tarred with the racist brush, so would you kindly remove my name from your message.
