Any more info?

Salary?
Type of Contract?
I'm assuming ID travel will be the same as provided to QR staff?

I heard that QR has offer to some crews to move to Al-Maha to get upgrade to captain and some people on the pool also has been offered to go to Al-Maha.

Itīs just a rumor, but I can imagine they will need quite a lot of people.

Are they starting with around 10 A320?? or that is the plan for the first few years??

Thumbs up

The package is at par with flynas in KSA. Many flynas drivers looking to jump ship as al maha offers tickets on QR network which is a big advantage. Also heard, key people from flynas leaving to join Almaha like Y.S. director of training / academy for flynas. Seems to be a good move to almaha

It's legal, but it needs willing participants Also beware that some embassies still apply the 1 year restriction on someone returning to a similar job even though this is no longer a requirement.

Seems they need crew just for 1 year as terms will change after 1 year.

" We are committed to create and develop a rich working environment, where Saudi Nationals are developed to their full potential."
Is that an indication of how conditions for expats may pan out?

A friend working with QR told me that the working conditions will almost be the same as with RAK...almost...

Non commuting is standard and not negotiable. Looks like a great part from the crew will come from QR's A320/A330 fleet. (FO's on A330 become skippers on A320 if they want to transfer.)

Hold or have held a GACA license
Interesting requirement.... that only opens it for Saudia, NAS, Alpha Star crew, and all of these offer better deals with at least some time off.
