NAS training times
 

Hi,

Anbody recenty joined on the 6/3 contract who can give an accurate estimate of the time until released to line? Have interview soon but will prob not bother if its months!

Pay and crews....{Tianjin Airlines}
 

Well yes so far paid on time and about foreign pilots.... about 4 on E145 and 7 on the E190. In addition they have some brazilian guys here on short term contracts with Embraer.

Thanks for the info buddy.

It could be an alternative to NAS. It's been 4 1/2 weeks since I did the interview with NAS and still no visa documentation. They keep promising the visa doc's, but nothing is happening. I really don't know whats going on in Saudi. But NAS are proving to be a giant pain in the ass.

Visa...
 

When was the last time you asked? I am still waiting too. :ugh:

From What I hear this is one of the main hurdling blocks starting work with NAS.

My understanding is that from hire date to line release can take up to 8 months.

Also don't forget that it is summer time and Ramadan will start on Monday.

Definitely rice, I know both countries and I prefer 12k in China that 16K in KSA.

Regards

anybody have the visa already? im still waiting!

NAS Air
 

Just received notice that NAS is hiring Capts on the EMB and the pay scale is over 16K (usd) for commuting, and well over $200k for living in Saudi. Is this true and if so, how is hiring going for NAS? A lot of new takers?

Years ago I was contacted by them, but got scared away with all the bad media I heard about them. Seems like things have turned around for them now, wondering if anyone has any opinions that are up to date?

Thanks,

ME

Rumor has it that they are looking for Commanders and they will type you. Can anyone confirm or deny this?? Thank You..SC

Anybody know how long training is taking these days?

All about it
 

Training is taking 3-4 months average. After that your first on rotation (6 weeks) starts.
The average of captains that make it trough on the A320 is very high. Rarely anybody fails. On the other hand, E190 Captains are not making it… Only 3 pilots out of 14 have passed the authority checkride this year. There is only one Embraer check airman from the “GACA” for the airline and he is a complete bastard (named Bader)… and even though it seems the checkride is the same for everybody, it depends on the guy’s mood if you pass or not… That said even by the local Arab guys…
Any questions, feel free to ask.

I have never been to Saudi or worked for NAS.....

However, there is one ex-pilot I bump into all over the world. That is the Ex-NAS pilot.

I was there
 

I have never posted here, but I feel I shoud pass this info. I was there. CHUTZY is 100% accurate.

If anybody needs real info, you can PM me.

Salaam/Hello,

Any idea to when is the next cadet pilot recruitment?? ((( for 2012)))

Thanks!

Nas air capt Salary
 

This salary scheme is not correct:
Captains:
Basic salary 30000 SARS plus 8300 SARS for housing and 800 SARS for transportation.

0-50 hours= 175 SARS x hours extra
50-75 hours= 400 SARS x hour extra
75-100hours= 500 SARS x hour extra

Change of duty within 24 hours they will give you 500 SARS extra
This is for 6 weeks on and 3 weeks off

Full time you make an additional of +or- of 8000 SARS more.
