NASAIR Info (threads merged) - all you need to know about them
Hi all
Like the title says, wondering if anyone can give me the gen on pay & conditions for A320 pilots with NASair in Riyadh? Cheers - Ajax :) |
NASAIR Info.
Hello folks,
I have been offered a job with NASAIR. Can anyone shed some light on what it is like to work there? I am supposed to go for 8 weeks of training including ground school and simulator training. What are the check rides and training like? Thanks. |
Do your own search and think twice before you make up your mind.
|
Thanks wonder. If you are referring to the culture at all, I am very well versed in that since I am a Muslim myself. However, I want information on how they treat the employees, check rides, etc. Where can I get information on that? I have talked to one pilot I know that flies for them, he seems to be happy but I want more input. Thanks again.
|
Also offered a class at NAS Air today (190). I'm pretty sure that initial training starts in Singapore for indoc and sims.
|
Do you have any information on NAS?
|
Unfortunately I know about as much as you do about NAS right now, but I'll PM you as soon as this changes.
|
You have a choice of two roster patterns:
6 weeks on 3 weeks off or 6 weeks on 2 weeks off. Pay is $11300 and $12700 respectively. Accommodation is provided in a hotel during your stay right now. Medical is provided. Economy class tickets on your time off to home. That is basically it. |
If you are referring to the culture at all, I am very well versed in that since I am a Muslim myself In saudi you will be treated according to your ethnic origin rather than your passport, so the way that one person is treated could be completly different to the next. Only way to find out, is to go there!!! Mutt |
av8r786, I was offered a job last week as well as 3 diff acquaintances of mine. We are considering it, but need more info too. Going to the 320. Riyadh or Jeddah based? Anyone? Buehler?
Waiting on the Chinese sucks... Interviews canceled twice and now who knows. av8r786 are you currently furloughed? Going to be? De (down)-graded? Feel free to PM me... I am taking a break from aviation in the US. Jx2 |
What happened to the 35/31 rostering?
I can't imagine anybody I know tolerating the conditions there with at best a 6 and 3 roster. |
A pilot I know there says they are not offering it any more. He says he can do 5 weeks there standing on his head, how much more would one more week be?

If you had a choice between Jeddah and Riyadh, pick Jeddah, beach community, more relaxed, you even see folks sometime waring shorts, mostly in the evening. Little Humid in the summer though. They are entirely too uptight in Riyadh.
|
Thanks NZ. Are you there or fly for NAS? I was thinking of Jeddah too. I have a cousin there so I would know someone that could show me the ropes.

I was based in Riyadh 2006-2007, whilst Nas Air was getting started with the 320s. Back and forth to Jeddah and then Dammam. I also interviewd with Netjets ME which is associated with Nas Air, hence the 35 on 31 off. Riyadh sucks, and there were very few expats flying for them, I would be careful on the contract stuff, 6 weeks on with three off is not great, you lose days in travel and the Saudi's will work you hard and try to do everything on the cheap. If you were based in Europe, at least it is closer.
Cheers |
Apparently FOs on the 320 (like me) are being offered a permanent contract, meaning no commuting!!!!!! You are based there with 45 days of vacation......WTF
Anybody else experienced that or some folks got the commutable contract for 320 FO? Thanks |
Offer
getting an offer with no interview and sim assessment, seems to me mom and pop operations. Good luck.
