Just heard that 3 captains has been denied there bonus as the company had stopped a lot of benefits it's not ideal to have a basic salary where you can go and hunt other jobs around

Mamamia,

Active pilots on the whatsapp groups are reporting that their end of contract bonuses have been paid as expected. The whole process does take a few months to be approved and paid. It is not immediately paid on the due date. This has always been the case.

If any pilots have actually received a message saying the bonus has been denied, they have not come forward and said so themselves. I have only heard comments of delays.

Paid as agreed.

Believe that it was a little bit more than "fainting". Hope he gets well soon.

And it was more Karachi than Lahore...

It was Karachi indeed.

As reported by avherald
A Saudi Arabian Airlines Airbus A330-300, registration HZ-AQI performing flight SV-891 from Lucknow (India) to Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), was enroute at FL380 about 270nm northeast of Karachi (Pakistan) when the first officer declared Mayday reporting the captain was incapacitated, the captain had fainted. The first officer requested all emergency equipment ready at the runway and also requested stairs available at the runway advising that he had no possibility to taxi the aircraft off the runway. The aircraft landed safely on Karachi's runway 25L about 45 minutes later.

Ground observers reported that an ambulance and medical assistance arrived only 20 minutes after landing.

Mainly because the aircraft stopped on the RW. FOs are not yet allowed to taxi. The training is in progress, but still...
Captain is in the hospital and recovering fast. Actually, good job from all involved.

First Officer not allowed to taxy ......???????!!!!!!!!
:ugh: :\ :confused: :eek: :{ :ugh:

Dark ages again...?!?!!
( there's a tiller there for some reason I'm sure ).
Surely they're allowed to land and take off the airplane huh

Bonus
 

Metro301

It's been denied for 3 pilots :ugh:

I guess it's not true. It could be delayed but not denied. I don't think you are able to provide further details. At least denied by whom and reason given.

What's going on? 50 Pilots resigned since October including 5 yesterday.

It does seem that in addition to the significant training failures; the effects of the changes in terms, conditions and the canceled/delayed bonus's are coming home to roost.

It also doesn't help that Qatar are giving a confirmed upgrade course date to new F/O's. If it's not fast track command then it's not much short.

Regarding the 3 guys it's true and here is not the right place to mention details so if you don't believe me it's your choice but the company b4 yesterday 5 people resigned and not even the terms and conditions has changed they have stopped the b787 delivery you will hear that soon just hope it does not happen to you cheeeeeeeeers romasik

Nesma has opened a base in JED with daily 6xRUH, 2xDMM and 1xHAS. All on leased 320/321

@ Topgun- Luckily we are allowed to Takeoff and land up to 80kts usually.only Return sectors with most. Tiller is there on the right probably for command training , lol. We still live in the Stone Age here...paper charts, individual paper jeppesen folders which you have to update every week(I bet some one is minting on this), Expensive onboard unused EFB on 777 300 without subscription etc.

fSG: do not underestimate the bravery of EFB providers to ask a price that sucks all of your savings into a vendor-lock, impossible to get out of, 5 year "industry standard" contract.

Also, paper charts with individual folders is a distributed system where an error of ommision / undertraining or even negligence would only invalidate a single-point enduser. Whereas an EFB data distribution is a highly centralised animal which requires rigorous standards of work and very high level of quality assurance.

The EFB integrated class 3 turned out to be a dead end, unfortunately.

So what's your point FD....??!

None in the context of the thread, or even Saudia. Apologies. Just a brain fart after seeing the Stone Age note. Though plenty of modern, state of the art EFB, operators who do not taxi WB's from RHS too, as I come to think about it.

Well on the other hand, things seem to improve. 20/10 ( RUH base ) for the 320 / 777 skippers.
Also, Sv has received an approval from Gaca for the use of the IPAD. It is a HUGE step..no more papers and heavy bags.

Fireball: That 10 that you're talking about is still not confirmed and if it does become available, it will be limited. That's what I've just been told.

Polax : Really ? :ugh:
In the email, they say it will be effective by March.. I know a bunch of guys who already jumped on the opportunity to apply for Ruh base.. let's hope for the best..
If I may ask, who told you that ? ( you can send me a PM if it is more convenient )
