very confused here
 

All right Gents :
I must say i'm very confused about this.
I received 2x letters today . they look same first a letter of acceptance (without noting for interview or assessment notice) !!!!!
And 2nd is a welcome note to joining the company:confused:
Can anyone tell me how the procedure goes in NAS air please?
So if all that goes right then what about the high failing rate and specially if it take such long time to get too flying parts or sim parts ??:suspect:

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciate it.
fly safe

Help me please !!!
 

Guys, I am trying to get an interview with nas air. I meet all the requirements and had send them my online application few times but no response so far. How long you guys had to wait before you got an interview call ? Also I want to know what kind of questions were asked ?
Whats up with high failure rate, I noticed few people mentioned that earlier ? Any info will be appreciated, I just want to make sure I know what I am getting myself into. Thanx

US pilots
 

is it that bad in the US? seems to me that you are desperate. Do your homework and take one step backward and evaluate.

It will come down to desperation if I dont make a move now. Got a letter last week from HR, will be furloughed by end of October.

Guys, it's holiday season here, i'm in the office at the moment, and anyone who would be of help to you is not here. I can only try to pass on the sentiment here - and that is that there are pilots out there who are trying to get in touch

Fly Ginger

Hi there anything new on NAS i recieved the paperwork to fill out online yesterday and just sent it back. Oh im dealing with Flight Crew Solutions the person ive been talking to has been most helpful about answering my questions. BTW i have 2300TT 1300 SIC jet 250 in the E170/175 and NOT current. I understand living in KSA may not be for everyone, and honestly all im seeing is the $$$$. I figure at 22 single with no family i can sacrifice QOL for a few years. The only thing that does concern me a little is safety I have tried to research the region seems ok i guess. I do worry about walking onto some sort of sacred ground accidently or getting accused of smiling at a woman. On the plus side I hear that the KSA is very modern much like the US, I guess they have to spend all that oil money on something, any truth to that? Although I am an American Catholic fluent in spanish my father was syrian and my middle name does happen to be Mohamad, could that be bad if people found out, Im not Muslim nor do i speak any kind of arabic. Anyway pardon my ignorance just trying to do as much homework as i possibly can thank you for any help

Providing you don't make a fool of yourself and respect the laws of the land then you won't have too much to worry about.

Nas Air
 

Nasair guys : How much do you typically fly per month, what are schedules or rostering like. What is the housing situation in base. is it paid for or if not does the housing alowance cover your costs. Are your layover hotels covered? If you had the choice , Nas or Aramco? Thanks.

Aramco or NAS
 

All Aramco rejects go to NAS. I hope this answer your question.

Aramco
 

I'm not an Aramaco reject, and don't think many of us are ... if any.

I like many of my colleagues are here for lifestyle that the 35/31 pattern gives us, a shame it is not currently on offer for new joiners.

Anyone else waiting on paperwork processing for NAS? Just wondering what's the status of the classes that were supposed to be starting this month (Oct 5 and Oct 18).

The Moslem holiday of Eid Al Fitr was 2 days ago, this basically means that ALL government offices in Saudi were closed for last 10 days and will remain closed until the 11th October, whilst I wouldn’t expect NAS to be decadent enough to give their employees the same long holidays as government employees, their hands will be tied in relation to obtaining visas etc......

So I suggest that its a case of sitting back and relaxing for a couple of weeks.

Good Luck.

Nas Air
 

Could anyone tell me what the schedules are, how much you typically fly per month and the housing scheme. Thanks.

Expect close to max hours, anything less would be a bonus. Housing i have no idea about, most of us are in hotels, but there is rumour of a compound before the end of the year.

Be careful now, i did say a rumour...........:}

I'm still waiting patiently for Visa or anything related to further hiring procedure.
After all I'm still confused of the word (new hired pilots)!!!!
What does this mean?
Does it mean that we are hired already & starting the indoc class right away ?
Do we have still interviews and sim evaluation down the road?
Flying ginger & Mutt are well informed about the Company but no one is willing to explain these details yet.
And i guess these are the questions for many applicants.
It wont take too long before the holidays are over.
safe fly for everyone.:confused:

ok, i have one thing to say. This is a rumour network and as such i have never hidden behind my username - as most people who know me will confirm.

As my lovely contract states, you cannot tell untruths or mis-represent the company in any way, i'm sure you get the picture. I am a little candid shall we say in my responses here as i do not know who y'all are. As such i try to be hilarious (which never works!!) or try to say things as they are without being rude. So here goes.....................

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away.............a man with ginger hair went into the company office to find out a little information about how people were recruited into the said company. After wondering the corridors of power for an hour or so it suddenly struck the ginger haired one.........

"No one knows" he cried..........."no one cares" echoed around the dredded offices of power. Distraught with failure he decided to go through the ordeal of getting crew transport back to the hotel............

Tune into next weeks exciting adventure, and find out how many other hotels transport tried to take the intrepid explorer to before settling on the right one!!

Please remember to Fly Ginger:}

Embraer
 

Who is flying the Embraer at NAS? if so, is it revenue flights or proven run?

Corrected due to ref by FlyGinger....... :):)

Mutt

Mutt, you are loosing your touch!! EMB flown by a motley crew from around the world, and on revenue flights.

For now, anyway.

It will be much more interesting to see who is flying it when the contracts are up for renewal:oh:

My bet's on Filipinos
