So I posted to try and start a new thread and got that it has to be reviewed by the administrator. Still waiting on that. Had a few general questions but I will just ask this for now. Is this link still current or has any info on it changed?

https://secure.sv.net/sv/forec/FDC.html

Any insight would be great. I will post the rest of my Questions later. Thanks

Expat FO aircraft?

Which aircraft are expat FO's being hired into?

Last I heard it was the 777 and A330.

Has the A320 been added to that list? (I thought that the A320 and E-170 were for Saudi cadet pilots).

Thanks.

So far, from what I've heard, they are not hiring anymore on the 777. My group was one of the last.
I don't know if it only applies for Capt; Fo; or both.

1) they are still ill hiring for all types .But company will be more " picky " especially on the B777 as MAS is expected to be a major source with highly experienced and type rated crews. Also the introduction of the 787 will change things. Many locals are sceptical about it ,as the routes assigned to the 787 are not very attractive (Guangzou Manchester and Toronto according to rumours ). Senior pilots in the 747 have the option to choose between the B777 and the B787 and most of them go for the T7.

2) the link with salaries and conditions has some updates. ACM is provided from the first day of training .Also the annual increase in basic salary is now 5%

Exciting times, in the race for experienced crew

He didnt say BONUS, he said annual increase, originally this was 5.6%, then reduced to 3%, now it appears to have increased to 5% again.

The ANNUAL BONUS is fixed at 4 weeks (Ramadan)

Ok copied that Mutt but I specifically heard "Profit Share" to be distributed at the end of Financial Year, not the Ramadan bonus. You may be able to shed some light?

A320

@ Mothergoose once you meet the Minimums you'll be hired as FO. Strap on for 6 months as they are launching 500hr P1 upgrade process. You'll get lucky I'm telling you. The trainers and line captains are very sweet. Don't worry.

Quite a mix of nationalities in the left seat of the A320, but all i can are Saudi FO's, did they hire any foreigner FO's for the 320?

I have also heard of the "profit share". All staff will receive a share of 10% of the company's profit.

Still not sure about the 5% increment though, I've heard absolutely nothing about that.

@mutt. They start advertising A320 F/O positions 2 months ago. So even if they have hired someone i don't think they will be reqdy for training. (2-3 weeks the green light for the medical exams plus Visas plus the ramadan). I guess best bet is the September classes

Why wouldn't you have a class 1? If for some reason you can't hold one, they its highly unlikely that you will pass the astronaut medical requirements with Dr S (Who i believe is still here, or is he ?)

Obviously i have a class one medical, i asked if we require a current class one medical as mine is expiring in October and same goes for my IR. My joining date is in November. So once again i ask do we require a current IR and a current class one medical before joining?

A quick question.

I'm about to join Saudia ( pre-contract says August 2nd ).

However, I am struggling with the visa process. They basically changed the process, and it's a real mess.
The consulat is requiring more and more authentifications. I am from Europe, but do have a FAA license. ( I have letters from the FAA but it is not enough for them ). They want an authentication from the " Saudi Arabia Cultural bureau ", in the States.
Are you aware of the process ? Any tips to make a quick license authentication ?
