Western standards HAHAHAHAHAHA
I´m here right now (in KSA). For most "foreigners" (slaves if you like!) that would like to consider themselves "expats", the changes that you´re referring to (and I´ve noticed them as well) are still lightyears away from what by western standards are considered anything normal. If you times 0 by 100 - you still only get 0. But, yes, things are getting "better" here - that is true (but that´s about it!).
2400 $ per months flying B737, CRJ and DHC-8 in and out of snow storms half the year, any junior Mc Donalds employee or delivering with Uber Eats makes way more.
You guys are just some over spoiled kids making the living of your lifetime and spitting in the soup.
Now you know what you can do with your western standards of yours.

Is it because less than 150 hours in the last 12months?
I know a friend who fulfilled all the requirements except the 12months currency and was rejected too.

Did you have a look at the Canadian WAWCON's recently??? if not then have a look and you'll see a 3D motion picture of pilots being ENSLAVED in your WESTERN standards thing. Fellow pilots making 41000 $ CAD per year that translates into

Maybe they just posted the job ad to see how many guys are out in the job market desperate enough to apply…
Then maybe they will post the real job ad and start hiring…

Saudia managed to get an abundant supply of Pilots before they stopped recruiting expats in 2016.

20/10 is quite fair considering Korean offers 19/11 and quite far away from Europe, But it should be confirmed Business so You arrive rested. I wonder about pay though but I would imagine in the region of 15000 USD/month is realistic.
From there add induction, Visa and other company specific joining formalities, which is another 3 months (plus GACA ATPL) = 9 months.
I would then add another 3 months for an inshala factor, and call it a round 12 months.
Depending on the 25’ start date, work backwards by the above amount for induction plus interview and hold pool time.
Thus, it could be sooner than you think.

The Saudi GACA ATPL conversion is a 6 month process.

I don't think that'll happen Mutt. To be honest. Saudia are pretty short themselves. They have 70+ Airbuses being delivered and now 38+ 787's. And a training center which is not fit for purpose.
25 new routes announced last week.
The only thing that I expect Saudia will do is help with some initial line training/IOE, whatever you want to call it.

It's GACA and you're right. You no longer need to write the GACA ATP exam if you already have an ICAO ATP.
