Anybody considering coming to work as a Pilot in Saudi Arabia now needs to understand exactly what is happening.
A few years ago Saudi was one of the last bastions of the Airline Pilot job being a Great and well respected career. Now it's honestly easier for a Saudi National to become an Airline Pilot than to become an Uber driver.
Banks in Saudi will loan money to young Saudi's very easily to go and complete their Commercial- Instrument rating in the US. After 6 months they're back in the Kingdom on the A320. 3 years later they have an A320 Command and 5 years later a widebody command.
There will be a glut of Saudi Pilots in the coming years.
I'll be fair as well. The Saudi F/O's are a good standard. Compared with European and US standards.I do question basic knowledge compared to guys who've been through US Aviation degrees or EASA examinations.

you are forgetting about all the Indians, Pakistanis etc pilots coming from an utter !!!!holes. No offence here, I have many friends amongst them but it is what it is. For these guys Riyadh is still an upgrade in their lifestyles. If offered on top reasonably good salary RIA will fill their seats fast. And they don't need 700 pilots tommorow. For many its 4 years pain but sets for life.
It is all relevant.

You shouldn't expect to see things move at a std pace here like the established companies. This company is a baby with a huge support from the king and it will take time to pave the way to wider recruitment that'll involve pilots at a high scale. For now, they may be hiring the instructors or pilots with management roles, however it's not the time for line pilots yet.

I am only stating facts about cities where majority live. I know you have beautiful nature, country side, mointains, sealine, etc.. but cities are utter garbage and dirt with unbelievable level of poverty.
Been to all major cities in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Again, nothing against people. Just stating the facts. Don't call me a racist for that.

Certainly not the case. Females are flooding the service industry, and I can attest that the industry's experience and quality of service are exceptional. After women have never had the opportunity to work or drive, give them time.
In the 1960s and 1970s, it took time for the west's diverse social movements, largely based in the United States, to seek equal rights and opportunities and greater personal freedom for women.
Current members of Saudi Arabia's Generation Z were educated in the West and have a different mentality and skill set than the old guard. MBS recognizes that Saudis have enormous potential and that, with the right assistance and opportunities, society will change and progress toward Vision 2030. Capital is already there and will be used to help the KSA grow and create jobs. Be patient and don't rely on your perception of the past; instead, anticipate what Saudi hospitality will offer you once it is given the chance to flourish and reach its full potential.

Great stuff. User name checks out. Regarding your post on progressive societal change and the amazing future - will a bone saw be part of the minimum equipment list on RIA aircraft ? Or will it be BYO type of situation ? Asking for a friend.
Cheers.

If you want to destabilise this Saudi leadership then you're a fool.
