Saudia

Hi guys,
Would like to have an information. If successful at the screening test and offered a job what kind of benefits you'll get with the " package"? Any medical insurance? Will it be valid for spouse and sons as we'll? Coverage only in Saudi Arabia or also worldwide?
Thanks for any reply

Are you talking left seat or right seat? Assignment will be based on their needs at the time, for example if they hire anymore FO's, they will go to the A330.

I am type rated on B737 NG and I applied for DEC and ticked off B747/777 and a320. But very, very little interested on the latter...

wide body

@redbaron without experience on a wide body forget ,without any exemption, being hired on the WB fleet. Many crews from the 320 with ticket for the 787 now will have to wait as the airplanes will not arrive before March

Honest question here...

Have heard SV on the verge of huge order of jets. How will they pay for these just given the debt and current price of oil in the world. Should this be a concern?

Thx

Kap

If the Oil price remains low for an extended period then it may have an impact on Saudia but Saudia is considered to be an important part of the development and diversification away from oil. It is therefore a long way down the list of government cut backs.

"New joiners who are type rated in SV types will not have to do the type rating again"


I'm currently flying the A340 and I suppose to join SV soon.

Could you tell me if Saudia could propose a CCQ 340/330 or if I have to do all A330 Training? What about the bond?

Thank you for your support,

CCQ? Based on the fact that their own 340 qualified pilots are not allowed fly the 330, I would assume that you would have to do the whole course and have the associated bond.

They are talking about CCQ for the 320/330 for IP's, but its slow in coming.

If you want to fly as DEC on widebody, based in Jeddah, another possibility is Air Atlanta Icelandic.

They currently have 17 aircraft flying for SV I think, all B744 ( cargo and pax.) except for one A332.

They might have a friendlier atmosphere and training too...

We, the company, doesn't really care what type of aircraft your currently flying, only that your experience fits into certain groups. A330 is a group "D" aircraft at Saudia, along with the 747, 777, and 787. A340 would be considered group "D" experience, so it qualifies you. Regardless of the aircraft you're on now, the one you get trained on here may or may not be the same. A full course is required regardless, but without any bonds.

There are two medicals required for new hires. The first is the pre-hire medical which can be done in several places (US, UK, KSA). The initial GACA medical must be done at Saudia Medical in Jeddah. GACA renewals can be done with anyone of a number private examiners.

These will likely be short-lived positions, as rumours within are that Saudia wants to rid itself of the leased operators.
