Kuwait Airways T&C
 

Hi guys!

Kuwait Airways is looking for drivers. Any idea on T&C offered by Kuwait Airways

Well if they are looking for drivers, why would pilots be interested?

One of the last places I would be looking for employment on this earth. I.e. if they needed pilots.

Oceancrosser. Your last post is not helpful of clever. If you have nothing to say constructive then DON'T Simples!

Seriously......this is some kind of joke......right??

Hey, might be a good deal for "drivers", not least the overtime...

True enough. Or maybe that is the weekly wage.

Kuwait Airways pilot jobs news for airline pilots and aviation schools

These figures seem to be 10 years old. Would be a massive pay cut if true, Kuwait is not the cheapest place to live in. Must be a joke!

They could be in Kuwaiti Dinars!

They're in GBP. I would know because I wrote them.

Pay has gone up massively but I couldn't give you an exact figure I'm afraid.

What do you mean by massively?.Just give an approach salary

Is that or was that ever the case? I recall KAC cadets trained for JAA/EASA Licences in the past and not with a Dutch ATO.

Agency offering $18K / month, 6 weeks on 2 off, accommodation paid for.

Chirpy Pilot, we are not 'drivers', we are Pilots. Accepting the term 'driver' continues to demean our profession and Oceancrosser is correct to resist the term. It's the sort of thing that Ryanair management wish to encourage. Don't diminish our position still further by accepting the silly term.

Do they pay for school fees for children?

The terms and conditions may have changed since my four years there but some things will not.

The mindset of the locals will be the same and it is a very difficult place to live.

Be aware.

Fantom, tks for the info.

Could you be more elaborated on your answer? maybe some example may help to understand

Regards

Mr White, I could write a page but it would not be fair to the Kuwatiis, many of whom I regard as friends. Let's just say that I went so as to pay my mortgage and it did. Getting back to the UK was, however, wonderful.

Any idea on what agency is offering 18000usd/month on a 6/2 contract accommodation paid?

I worked there too.
Kuwait is bit better that Saudi.
Pay was okay back then and FAA tickets was accepted initially, then we converted to Kuwaiti licenses with written tests and simulator check rides, not a big deal as company instructors were designated check airmen/examiners.
Like Fantom I went there to pay may mortgage and it was paid off in short order, but I was also glad to get out, one is almost held prisoner: Cannot leave the country on days off for a trip to London or Dubai to drink beer: No Sir, you need an Exit Visa signed by Managment. :=:sad:
It has been a few years so my information may be outdated.

Zenon is the agency...
