I have not heard of any F/O failures. That doesn't mean there haven't been any but F/O's do not need to go up in front of GACA during line training, I'm not sure whether they do during sim. training or not.

GACA for FO
FO's have to go through GACA oral and GACA rating. The only difference with captains is that they have less sectors for line training and as polax said not GACA check during line training

No failures for FO's? This is good news! By the way I read in previous pages that the upgrade time for FO is really slow. What is the average time? Is it possible that they might accelerate command upgrades due to many aircraft orders?

Upgrades at Saudia for foreign Pilots are still a very rare occurrence. There may be plans to upgrade but you would have a very long seniority list ahead of you and then the upgrade course itself is 12 months, probably the longest in the industry.

A piece of advice
I had the same problem sometime ago, I tried many ways and I ended up getting all I needed from PCC Pilot Career Center. Check the website, there is the recruitment e-mail , that is how I got their attention ! Good luck!!

We were screened in the end of august ! About 60% of the guy for A 320 and 330 the rest of us to the B777. I got my ok on the first half of september. They asked me to send my availability to process the visa send the Job Offer. So far nothing yet. I guess things will be back to normal after the holidays. So, are you on the B 777? If so, how is it?

It's not just you, I get PM's and e-mails from former colleagues asking exactly the same thing.
It can not have been more clearly stated: this is not in anyway a commuting or commutable job.
You get one block of 5 days per month, they can and will use you until midnight on the day before those days start and they'll have you in at 4 am after they finish. The block of days off is flexible to the company when operational requirements justify. Remember we are very short of Pilots and operational requirement has priority.
I like the job but please forget commuting, if you want to stay at home then find a job close to home. This job is in Saudia Arabia.
No more commuting questions!!!

I dont know if its 100% confirmed,but the recent road shows in Malaysia will bring to to JED more than 100 pilots.Mostly from MAS. Some people mentioned 140. And last but not least. SVA already is advertising vacancies for the 787 ( both captains and F/Os. Also it is the first time that the company states minimum requirements for command upgrade (3 years or 2000h). Of course its a bate. Upgrades will never take place before someone has a minimum of 9-10 years in the company. And we can only speculate as an expat upgrade has never happened before .
Also no more available vacancies on the 777 for F/Os with Airbus experience.Many complaints from local F/Os who are stacked on the 320 for 4-5 years.

There are FO's on the A330 who have either undergone their upgrade evaluation or need to get their ATP written's done prior to the evaluation, so to say that it has never happened is unfair, BUT it has taken these guys 10 years for their seniority numbers to come up!
