Hi Mutt

Thanks for the Spelling correction.

Yeh knew Bizzie's son Duscow who I heard is joining the aviation ranks as a helicopter pilot

Francis was a good chap allways the life of the party.

Small world!

Did you know them well?

How have you come to live in the Great Kingdom?

Hoofie Mentions Sharbatly Compound as a tip - well it has not changed much (LoL) There is one big change though as it now has half a dozen armed troops at the entrance to check you going in, then as you get to the Sharbatley security you come across a static Hummer with a 303 Cal Gun on top then you go through the gate and there is a sandbagged emplacement with a belt fed machine gun. Outside there are a further two Hummers patrolling, the street on one side is closed off and the whole place is now surrounded by a double row of concrete blocks along with the barbed wire on top of the walls. They were trying to get troops to go on the tops of surrounding buildings as a further precaution. It resembles Stalag Luft. All in a good cause no doubt but it shows the state the whole place is getting into

Hi Mutt
Saudi has been wonderful to me, but, when my supervisor determined that I was a 'dangerous pilot', I figured it was time to hang it up...so I go. To all my friends. who read this, and, especially you, Mutt, thanks for the good conversations and times; and my wonderful SFS first officers, I regret having to leave. But I have no choice.

Hi all.. does anybody knows if Saudi Arabian Airlines takes foreign pilots with FAA CPL/IR licence?

Thanks

No they dont.....

Mutt.

VH-Cheer Up, the above is what passes as fair dismissal in KSA.

Thanks MUTT..

They don´t take foreign pilots or FAA licence or both?

Thanks..

They dont take foreigners with CPL's. Try them when you have a FAA ATP with 7000 hours.
