I like my "TEA" with diet pepsi. Chief transformation officer MR. M.B. has had his resignation accepted along with a few others effective today.

Interesting, I thought that he would hold out at least until 2020.....

Pepsi going back into the fridge, European CEO still in place as far as i can tell.

Is the portal available to apply? I go to Saudia Web Page but it do not lead to the application page.

@metro301 COO also gone replaced with VP Safety. These two brothers really have risen in the airline management.

VP Safety was earlier GM Standards. Am I right. Same person? A Pilot.

[mutt]

Nope, it was his brother who is now MD Royal. Both are pilots.

[metro301]

One of the brothers was my supervisor when I first started here, great guy.

Surprisingly, all the top brass at present are pretty decent guys.
Let's hope there's more positive spins off of this story...

Albrecht aims to pilot Saudia back to its ‘glory days’

This article is a month old, but still informative.

Albrecht aims to pilot Saudia back to its ?glory days? | Arab News

[mutt]

Are we seriously going back that far?

[Flyboy_SG]

Wonder what was the glory days are like...

I remember the thick lush carpets in their first class cabins back in the 90's.
Something I've never seen since

[Flyboy_SG]

Thanks for the Enlightenment VAMY. Inshallah.




Proposed Accommodation allowance.... What a joke !!!

[mutt]

Flyboy_SG,

In Saudia the concept of glass half empty glass half full applies, yours always appears to be half empty, so I have to ask the question, why do you stay?

[Top gun pilot 797]

Mutt.
I think he's talking about the 35k & 50k PA housing allowance offer to FO's and Capt's respectively in lieu of staying at Saudi City.
It truly is a joke.
Someone wants all the pilots to participate in the survey with a resounding NO.
That ensures this someone keeps getting his kickbacks from the various hotels that are housing these pilots in Jed and Ruh..!
Off now..

[Flyboy_SG]

Mutt,

I'm sure you are enjoying your cozy villa as we speak. Accommodation is a big issue for us right now. It has been 20 months since joining and no sign of getting a villa/apt in the saudia city ! All we got was this ridiculous 35/50k acc allowance per annum email !!!
I have already shifted to three places with family.

It is not about half empty/full story. It is about **** happening around here. BTW I'm not staying here anyways. Just awaiting contract completion.

[Capt_CheeseDick]

Arrhh the graft, corruption and kickbacks continue... and we thought that would end when adnan was caught red-handed and booted out.
There are so many vacant Units all over the Saudi compound... 3 actually in my little section of street.

[Flyboy_SG]

Thanks VAMY,


Very much possible. But I have witnessed some units being furnished.
We had a meeting with big bosses recently. They have promised us that about 48 units are gona be ready by August. Lets see what happens. As far as saudia us concerned even the locals are not happy with the way things are going on. Time to fill our buckets before something goes wrong seriously.

Happy Landings

[Flyboy_SG]

�� lol , it's August 2017.

who knows may be the meeting was just an eye wash.

A big change is coming for sure. yes,locals aren't happy, but they wouldn't leave either. They cannot survive other airline culture.
