Dicked around jerked around is the name of the game in the middle east.
Agree with mutt and even with a job offer in hand, take your leave balance and try your new job before resigning, unless off course you have some personal insight. They might not have the required visa yet approved by the government and it all goes to p***

saudia hiring
They will always hire pilots as pilots do not last long here. The average 2 years. They do not even finish the initial 3 years contract. The pay is the best in the Middle East and China. A 777 captain may earn easily US$30,000 a month! However the company is a mess. Their HR and bosses are the worst. New chief pilots every 2 months. They are never in the office, all the key movements are delegated to Pakistanis and Indians (both with stone age management skills in Saudi and their respective countries; see airlines from India and Pakistan ....enough said)
The HR office in USA is in DC not Houston. There the "girl friends" of some Saudis with power just use the traveling benefits and are never in the office!
The last course for the A330 started a few months ago with 7 pilots and today only 2 are left and will leave soon! They were mostly Egyptians from Egypt Air, experienced in the A330. They are Arabs, Muslims and they could not digest the "culture". Just figure out what it can do to a red neck!
If you need money and have the patience to take their sh.... for a few months, get the rating, get the time, get the fabulous paycheck and then stay if you can. You will probably leave in 18 months maximum.

Saddest, they have hours/weight categories, the 767 is probably lighter than the category required for the 777.

777 salary
The salary doubles as soon as you pass 90 hours so seniority is not an issue. In any case the salaries are the highest in the Middle East. First Officers on the A320 during Ramadan cashed over US$15,000. They also get paid for night flying, flying on days off, productivity, and extra money over 45--yes Forty Five-hours of block time. Again after 90 hours double salary + the extras.

Saddest aviator:
The Cat "D" threshold is, if memory serves me well, 170t. So, some of 767 models don't fit into "D". It's often on tip of your pen. Just don't mention particular model and generic B767 may be good enough. In my case they counted all my 757/767 hours as cat"D"...., as this was the same type rating.

So what you are saying Mutt is that they would rather have a 330 jock trained on the 777 than a 763 jock, that that makes perfect sense, no wonder airlines are in the state they are in
