Do you know who? Perhaps only 777/787 Type Rated or TRIs. That's my guess.

No news in this case, bad news!

While RIA may publicise having thousands of applications, the underlying truth is far more complex.

The industry, particularly post-COVID, is facing a unique challenge. While there's a large pool of individuals eager to land a job or enhance their current roles, the number of those who can effectively demonstrate their suitability and successfully pass a panel interview snd sim assessments is far less than the total applicants.

It's not merely about drawing in prospective employees, but also persuading skilled and seasoned individuals to relinquish their stable roles at other airlines. In the case of RIA, this task will necessitate a significant incentive - particularly to entice the experienced Boeing & Airbus crew they are seeking.

This leads to a situation where there might be a vast pool of applicants, but only a small fraction are truly qualified and willing to make the move.

For instance, at the airline I currently work with, roughly out of every 10 applicants assessed, we are lucky if 2 receive offers of employment. This comes down to a lack of English proficiency, suspicious or fraudulent documentation (no need to mention which country) or an absence of any CRM skills. I'd venture to say that out of the 14,000 applicants, about 50% could be immediately eliminated due to the above.

Thus, while the raw numbers may seem impressive, the reality of hiring and retention in the airline industry is a much more nuanced challenge in present times.

Not to mention that it is always the same “14000” who are applying everywhere… so those who are proficients are not joining that particular airline for sure if they have a better offer

I think most of those candidates are just curious to find out the package. Once they see that its not worth leaving their current stable outfit for an uncertain airline in an unstable area I can probably imagine 80% of those “qualified” applicants will back out.

Not to mention a possible war breaking out very close doesn’t augur well for travel to that side of the world. Might not be the best time to join an airline with no history during these uncertain times no matter the figures they throw.

Good, hopefully watershed moment in Europe and the T&C's are elevated on par with US to prevent a mass exodus to RIA

Ria poached the Emirates 777 DCP to run flight ops. Thats tells you everything you need to know recruitment wise.

The 'project pilots' are doing 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off at approx 100,000 SAR a month.
