2000 h
dabo with roughly 1800h ijet time (and only 737) I really doubt that saudia will offer u a T7 position. Bunch og guys with 3-4000 h on the NG are on the line. Furthermore Saudia now is hiring FOs for the 320 as well. I wish u all the best for the T7 but i would keep my horses if I were you.

Oman air just started to look for B737/Ejets skippers. 2 days ago.
Mins are 4000TT 500 PIC on type and something like 1500 PIC on 27T Airplane or something else similar to that.
Go ahead and have a look to the website

There was a press conference last month which explained that the Saudi government and King would like the company to double in size over the next 5 years. The company is currently around 130 aircraft excluding the lease aircraft.
It was clarified that those wishes of the government were simply an impossibility. Despite significant Pilot recruitment efforts over the last 3 years, there just is not enough quality and experience available particularly for the long haul fleets.
They addressed the actual expansion which they believe is possible and listed types and numbers of aircraft they could achieve by 2025. That total is around 195, it includes 70 A320's.The remainder will be wide bodies roughly a split of 777/787 and A330. I would guess that these numbers include the 60 aircraft ordered in Paris.

saudia pAS15 ordes
the company announced orders for 20 A330 regional and 30 A320. The regional A330 has a max range of 3000 NM and it will be used in high density medium and short routes (Cairo Dubai India Pakistan and of course the domestic routes). So the company will utilise the T7 mainly in LR routes. Deliveries to be started by 2017

Hey Hey
One quick question. The medical results ( done in Cairo ) should arrive within 10 days. For those who did the interview, is it correct ? Also, did you get the sim result right away ? We have been told that we would receive an email the next day, but so far, none of us received anything. I then assume we will receive a " global " email with the green light when the medical arrives from Cairo.
Do you have any infos ?

This is something really bad about the HR department and the selection at the moment. It reflects badly on an otherwise good company.
You will not hear anything until they have the results of the medical back, I believe these results are a government decision and regarding the issuance of the residence permit. The results take 2 weeks to come out and the HR take another week to get positive results out to individuals. Negative results will probably never arrive. if you are really enthusiastic to know your result then wait 2 weeks and then telephone the HR department; forget e-mail..it won't work.

@fireball23. I m a bit surprised that they didn't tell you anything about your sim session. Must be a new procedure because until May they used to say . If 15-20 days pass without any update polax is wright. Your possibilities of having an answer in an email are thin though it is happening sometimes. Dont forget that the ramadan starts tomorrow and things will change. So be patient

polax52,
Thank you for your succinct reply. It clears up much of the confusion regarding future expansion plans at Saudia.
Is there a link to an article outlining what was said at the press conference?
