the same could be said about pilots

I don't think that any of that is true. I think that the original time line has gone out of the window. There are rumours out there, for example they'll buy flynas and turn that into RIA but unlikely, I think.
RIA will start but they clearly need to get the right management into place first.

I don’t think NAS will ever be sold to RIA
But anything is possible who knows

Allaru - Airmann

You two do seem to like talking a load of old muck. Of the 50 plus guys I know that went DEC widebody to EK and QR since 2012- every single one of them was a 737 Bug Smasher Captain. Granted the majority were Bug Smasher TREs and LTCS. Make no mistake - the transition with every one of them was seamless. All are still out there (ME). Most are trainers and one of them is the current TM 777 with EK having being made DSM a year after joining. Not bad for a bug smasher.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. All of that terribly complex polar stuff must be gone to your heads.

i don’t know where people got that ego from to say what TT P1 is able to do or not but it’s BS
i came from TT and it was be far harder work than any other NB,WB in SH or LH ULH i ever flew.
TT is usual less automation and less protection etc. I many cases TT pilots are completely undervalued by some jet ego.
i have seen a few jet egos fail flying a TT when they realized that manual flight means manual and went overwhelmed when there was no FD to help or flaps speeds have to be memorized because they are not shown on a display. Sometimes I think some jet man have to protect their kingdom

So recruitment begins. No commuting and the adverts look like a cut and past from 🙄🙄🙄.

Good luck to all that apply 👍

LOL Good luck to them. This may appeal to some South American or African pilots due to salaries being higher than their hime countries, but they will struggle to fill this. Mainly because experienced pilots seek stability and work life balance and open ended contracts with weekly roster updates isn’t it. I wonder what will the compensation be, if it beats Qatar substantially or not. That CEO is a bad virus, that’s the first mistake the Saudi’s did as he did terrible mistakes at Etihad, pilots there hated him and many left due to that management style.

they will never find people.
I give them 3 months and things will change dramatically (20/10 roster and also narrow body experience counted). Without a commuting roster they will never find anybody.

It’s also the undertone of how it’s written, it’s somewhat “dry” and “aggressive”. There’s no selling of any positive aspects, no mention of benefits or even salary. There’s nothing in this that makes anyone with experience go “oh I would love that”. Anyone with experience in recruitment, like myself, will read between the lines and go “stay far away.”

It shows that whoever dealing with this isn’t a people’s person and it is highly likely that those who join first will be treated poorly.

They are just testing the waters , there is not enough information for a decision to move there . The fleet apparently is going to be 787/350 and none of these airplanes are available in big numbers for the next 2-3 years. Ek took 2 years to get back on 80% of their network with airplanes and crews already available. If you see through the shisha smoke nothing is happening anytime soon.
