nas interview
 

i have got feed back from nas as a capt. does any one has an idea ,what next how is their interview looks like .thanks

Lot's of negative feedback about this outfit; if anyone has a positive experience with NAS please let us know!

Anyone got anything ? How's life, roster, upgrade...

Positives..........
 

I get paid:}

;-)
 

Yes you do Ginger one... and you don't even fly like the rest of us!!!

See you soon ... maybe

A pilot who doesn't even fly.............who would have believed it!! I will be back soon, just waiting for the ticket to be issued. Sim on monday. Damn:}

Just wondering where you guys are getting your salary information from? Is there anybody on this forum who's actually working for NAS that can confirm what the pay really is? Feel free to PM me if you like. Thanks. :confused:

Grippen, Taken from my pay slip.

Basic Salary for a Capt is 33914 SAR, on duty 345 pdiem. + 13 month salary. Not the best but its a part time job 35/31 ... you just can't beat that. Or if like Ginger a no time job ;-)

All accom, transport is covered by company, you spend is the occasional meal, phone calls and net. So out here spending money is difficult unless you want to by a Hummer and a Harley to play with!

Life out here is very cheap, you can get a great meal for 30 SAR.

NAS what?
 

Don't go there.

no more 35/31
 

no more 35/31, new project will offer you one of these;

11/1 or 6/2 or 6/3

sorry to say :mad:

stall... just watch this space.

35/31 will be back soon for new joiners... otherwise planes will not fly

To be very honest living cost in saudi arabia is very cheap... U can get a great meal just in 30sr and fuel's also very cheap its not even 1 riyal...U can save aloot in KSA

Just heard the 2nd stage of the NAS recruitment has started..Good luck to all..

can anybody give a recent overview of how NAS are doing?

heard news of Jeddah base is it true. :confused:

Hi cool
Was not told of a base in Jeddah...However the SIM is there.

PM me if you like.

Was wondering if all you guys are happy so far with NAS? How was the initial SIM training program? And the subsequent line training?

Accomodation standard? And general feeling within the ranks? etc

Feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.
TP.

Same here.....would like to know....

Avoid Nas At All Cost
 

As an ex employee of NAS, I would strongly advise all to avoid this joke of an airline.I managed to receive all that they owed me after fighting them through the Saudi legal system, not something easily achieved by an expat. The company is rotten to the core,lieing, cheating, backstabbing and as an airline totally unsafe. Just some of the delights NAS has to offer.The majority of expats have left and those still there are trying to escape ASAP.Believe me I have been there and lived it. It just ain't worth it.BE WARNED!

Can you give us more info about the reason to avoid them . thank you.
also a PM is great.

NAS Info
 

At moment this is not company to join.

121 DFO is vry short of staff so he decide best way is to make work all work harder. So he change 35 31 to 6 3 but not more money.

Pilot from US join on 35 31 and on day 1 told he on 6 3 by 121 DFO, he leave that day

contrct not being follwed 121 DFO ignore and try do as he wish, he is god he think

rotation do not start till end of train, but that depend on trainers as not many so can take long time.

promis nice western compund but live in shabby hotel in city Golden Toulip Andalusia. have mosque next to it so start call to prayer at 0400

recurent training done in off time but can take up 10 ten days and not payd

121 DFO he have career caption, no rspect for him by anyone even his fellow jordans. Hear he was sack by last 2 company. he break and make rule as he like he thinks he is God and can do as wish. he trained 3 FO in 3 days, but they need 25 hr each. he want to forget FTL as does crewin and they will try and fly you over limit

If you come here only do 35 31 otherwise STAY AWAY until 121 DFO go.

emb fleet is in chaos they offer trainer $20,000 a month to try and get fly started but some fail GACA exam. emb will stay parked for a while yet

Beside that pilot and crew good folk, just do not join while S AlB is still on power trip

what is the pay for fo's at nas (us)

Stay Away
 

Nas Crew ,
thank you for all the info. for the time being I keep my application locked in the pc.
Keep me uptodate! PLEASE

Have a nice day

Disappointing to read the latest threads.. But I guess it's just the way it is these days! Power plays, corner cutting, backstabing and lies. And all the guilty are filling their pockets. Why don't these undesirables get removed before it's too late?

Dear Diablo caliente
 

I am sorry if I said something wrong or unpolite .
please let me know where I made a mistake.
for the time being I apologie to you.
At the first occasion i will pay two drinks to excuse myself

Job Hunter, he was talking about NAS management not you.

Black Zero 2
 

While I would not comment on much of your post, you say UNSAFE AIRLINE which I draw a line at as obviously you have an axe to grind but keep to the fact's.

Most of the Captains here come from good carriers and are totally professional, we did not collect our Spurs and start flying like T<"$t's when we came to the company. We fly as professionally and safely as we did with our previous airline's... and continue to do so.

As for your quote about many western pilots leaving; some are, as with every airline but many of us are very happy with our 35/31, and will continue with it. So once again would prefer the facts and not your warped view.

This company is not for everyone, it has its pro's and con's, you'll soon know if its for you. But 35/31 is the best in the world, brand new aircraft, pay is good and goes in on time (even early most months). There are a number of con's ... but they have been mentioned already.

Fly Safe, I DO.

If in doubt, there is NO DOUBT

appreciate your candid response.

So, is the roster 35 on, and 31 off? There were previous posts saying this was not the case. I have someone close to setting up an interview, but all that has been mentioned is 6 weeks on 2 weeks off, which I don't think I am interested in. A month on month off would be quite doable.

Thanks for your info.

Hi Job Hunter. Was not refering to you buddy. But I will take the 2 free drinks!!!

FlyOrange.
Was happy to read your positive post. Thanks!

Im still waiting on some final details. Either 6/2 or 6/3. With tks in and out.
Could you answer the following if possible?

How is the accomodation in the compound?

How is the initial training, sim and line?

You're welcome to pm if you prefer.
Thanks
DC

to diablo caliente
 

even three drinks if you wish.
I misundestood your thread.
I hope to meet you in RUH . even if i prefer Jeddah.
I have a question :
what do you mean "per calendar month" ?
if you mean that you receive money EVERY month or only the month on?
Thanks

JobH
I think you are refering to my quote 6/2 6/3

I was refering to, 6 wks on 2 off..or 6 on 3 off..

But Ive heard this offer is not good at all..since the NAS drivers are doing 35 days on and 31 off...for the same dow!
Good luck
Caio

35/31
 

I refer to 35/31 but i understood that now , unfortunatly, your roster is 6/3 or 6/2 .
My doubt is you are paid every month or only when you work?
I mean every first day of the month ( for example) you receive the salary or you are not paid during the off periods?
Sorry for my english , it is little bit complicated because i think in italian before and then i write in english.
Take care .

I work for another division of NAS on 35/31 rotation and yes we get paid our basic every month.

The per diem is obviously paid for the month on, however this is now bundled into our salary and spread evenly over the year. Not too sure if this is how its done in NAS Air.

Last thing I want to say is, as per everyday in our career’s we make choices. We trade payload for fuel, speed for fuel economy, this job is a choice, where you trade block time off lifestyle for ……life in the Kingdom and is associated limitations.

Choose wisely grasshopper :E

This was put to me this morning

"Once you are out of the office politics and flying the line, things are fine"

Then again, what do i know!!

PS, looks like HR will honour anyone who sighned the job offer with 35/31 written on it. For now anyway
