Realistically though, if your wife expects to have all of the freedoms she'd have in a western country then this is not the place for you. They have their own culture and rules and you need to behave appropriately. It's not difficult but you're not going to change Saudi Arabia.

Where can you get "the complete set of the latest rules?"
Try the Burgis Centre Mall level 4, shop 18e, he's got it on floppy disk, hard drives or can print out for you. Failing that try Mustafa Centre - Syed Alwi Road /Little India. He's sure to have something.

Geez mate what are you expecting? The rules haven't changed here for hundreds of years. Read this thread from start to finish. THAT will tell you.

What I mean to say is that it's not bad, you just need to be prepared to adapt a little.

The place is a rule bound one, and most Asians coming here will be able to blend in with the system. The woman here is much more protected, than in many other capitals of Asia.
The place has to be experienced to draw ones own conclusion, rather than speculated on the testimonies of others.

I have read this thread back to back 'chocks on'. Happened to read a crude article about by a UK journalist dated June. so was concerned a bit, as I have decided to move in.

Honestly very few chances. ATR is out of Saudia requirements ?Further more Saudia had a huge assessment in Kuala Lumpur 10 days ago ,due to the future situation in MAS. More than 130 pilots attended it and SV will have a second assessment later in the Summer in Malaysia.

I wiSh u all the best .FYI so far I haven't seen an expat FO with less than 3000 h jet time. Furthermore some of the new 320's are going to replace the older ones.

@aalloha their requirement is of 750 hours on type 320.and what's the job security like . How do they treat expats on a320 as its the junior most equipment .how are the captains and sim instructors like.basically what arE the things an a320 expat f/o be concerned. Is working for saudia as an expat f/o like having a sword on your head that you can be fired anytime you make a mistake .how is their department like , do they show leniency in case of an error made.

I'll third that motion boys
Motion passed!
By the way (yuh) 'Goose, your lack of research has shown up as the A320/21 is not the most junior equipment.

How is the training process now? also during training is the pay just your basic? when do they start to take the money for the bond or have they stopped with the bond scheme?

@omis. Training in the A320 a bit faster than the B777 but still lots of oral checks multiple Gaca checks etc. bond is in effect (100.000 SAR) and a 25% is deducted from the first basic salary (only for non type rated pilots) .The 100.000 are refunded on the 24th month of service with a 10% interest.Type rated pilots receive full salary.
