Flynas on Freeze
Flynas froze their successful Cadet program overnight stranding 100's of cadets who went thru examination process. Sadiqi said apparently due to lack of training directors ability to manage training quality as the capable one (A.A.R) went back to flying because of disagreement with COO. In retaliation, cadets are heading with their complaints to Saudi authorities & MBS, who are trying to push saudiazation. Flynas heading for a showdown?

Will they start Hiring expat First Officers?
|
Yes! Flynas will start hiring expat FO's on commuting contract again very very soon.
|
100% confirm it's been canceled,
heard from training manager They won't restart the cadet program unless there is management change in the Training department. The aptitude test is just buying time to avoid negative image. |
What about DEC ? Are they recruiting |

True polax52, this is why experienced local skippers jumping ship too.

Saudis can’t even manage to close their own doors, flush their own toilets or drive a car. I’m sure this program will end well and expeditiously. |

Saudia |
This is a result of in-flight ops management micromanagement. Every email before being sent must be approved by one man who has no time due to micromanagement style. For sure they need pilots desperately as everyone here is back to back, many asked to abandon leaves and with cadet program shelved forever no more Saudi talent coming to the flight deck.

Saudia currently have 80 F/O's who are listed as ready for command. The company wants new upgrade Captains now to be Riyadh based. Certainly some are refusing the basing. I don't know if any are accepting. Delivery of 10 787-10 aircraft over the next few months will require an additional 100 Captains, I don't know about additional Airbus aircraft but we're expecting a lot after the Paris airshow. Normal Pilot attrition will mean an additional 40 Captains are required before next summer. There will be a shortage. They have 3 options (i) upgrade expats from within (ii) hire expat Captains (iii) Cancel orders and wet lease |
Expect assessments to start soon or cadet program as during low season we have 1 skipper standby and 2 AOG. Short of pilots by over 27 and new delivering expected soon.
