Do Saudia upgrade FOs onto the A320s?
How long does one have to be employed there before you can start the process?

Since they stopped people doing the GACA written's for their license, that means that you are now getting a validation again, like the old days, so you need a valid licence. Is your licence valid without the medical?
What are you going to do if you show up without a medical and they require one?

Medical
Captainpluto. The med examas u had during your assessment are identical with the Saudi medical.so if u pass the assessment there is no reason to worry for your Saudi Medical. They dont ask for currency of 12 or 18 months an IR is not mandatory

Mutt,
Are you saying the conversion to GACA license is not available anymore?
From now on everybody will validate there own license from back home to fly in GACA land?

So I'm assuming that they have gone back to validations.

Mutt , your assumption is correct. The last group with a GACA ATPL or CPL exam were the guys that started on March. Furthermore FO's with ATPL in their possession now receive GACA ATPL instead of CPL.
PS FO's without ATPL in their possession have to take the GACA CPL written exam

Interesting how this have changed so quickly in the Kingdom.
As far as I understand the B744 are leaving, what is going to happen with the B748? Especially as the B777F are now coming?
And the embraer??? Are they leaving too???

Mothergoose i can only make an assumption and say that all you have to do is to give just the GACA exam which is based 100% on the FAA cpl i can't imagine anything else

Hi there
I'd like to know with 2500 hours on narrow and widebody jet but without ATP Saudi could hire me?
Around 1800 hours on the 737 NG and 500+/- hours on the 767

Whats the best type to get hired on now at Saudia? is it better to wait and see when the new types come and go for those if eligible? or get in now DEC? Im guessing once your in its impossible to move types for at least 8-12 years, unless your type is phased out...

omis- Your assumptions are correct regarding changing fleet once in.
You will have no real choice but to accept the fleet which you're offered. Shorthaul there is only the A320 though, if that's what you experience reflects. Longhaul it'll either be 777, 787 or A330. For making money the 777 is the best for the time being. In the distant future it could become the 787.
