Interview Day 1 via Teams very straight forward, 2 persons, 1 from the talent aquisition team and 1 Captain, they introduced themsel.
You introduced yourself to confirm your CV, talked about your motivation for RX, willing to move, they asked me not more than 5 questions,
Later on explained the further process in the assessment and they talked about the Terms and Conditions,
Interview Time not more than 30 minutes.
As expected this package won't attract any experienced pilot who already settled in the ME or in Europe
My experience level, more than 20K hours total, TRI on B777 and 787 and guess what ? I failed ..... not to worry I am settled and would not move on with the interview or continue if I would have passed.
The numbers are more than a dissapointemnt
Good luck for everybody, 14 On / 14 Off - let me bet - won`t happen in first place

“What this is not going to attract are senior pilots in ME with established life and descent salaries.”….. of course it will attract them, but they wont be westerners expecting western salaries.

by adding to the above numbers two basic salaries a year as a bonus,
one basic salary as end of service bonus and the money I pay for my kids education that they will reimburse.

well, schooling is guaranteed so why not? it's the money that would go to ones pockets.
bonus I understand not so much but I believe they would still pay it.

Thank you for posting and updating us all.

From what you have found out, it seems that the hourly rate is really quite low.

Please can I ask if it is $35 per hour or $350 per hour (which seems a much more realistic figure)

Also, is there education expenses paid for children, up to which age, and does that include outside of Saudi?

Thank you so much. 🙏

$350 per hour? What are you smoking?

You may be thinking like an American here, where you have an hourly rate, with a minimum hour guarantee (but no basic pay)

Here you get a basic pay, and on top of that you get $35 per flying hour.

SkyJetJedi 22nd July 2025 23:46

I have read here that captains get $35 per hour and F/O’s get $40 per hour.

This doesn’t seem right.

rudestuff 23rd July 2025 08:05

It's an extra $2.50 for gear and $2.50 for flaps.

OK, but then what would be the hourly rate above 75 hours? Working more than 75 hours in a month for $35 an hour is admittedly not particularly desirable.

Apologies if my question offended you in some way.
