Pilot Salary at Riyadh Air

[@Juan-wy3uq]

Caner I´m ATPL student and one of my instructors works in Ryanair, Riyadh human resources call him and offered 19000 month without taxes at first officer position. And as you say, he would only consider it if he gets a commuting pattern, he is hearing something about 15 days working and 15 days offing the future, but at the moment it is not known.

[@Adam-py6fz]

Is it possible get in touch with this instructor?

[@Domdodom]

Are you sure he saying the truth? I am a 787 captain and I know many pilots who applied and noone knows the salary yet. Everyone is just guessing…Including Caner 😋

[@9LimaAlpha7]

@@Domdodomyh clearly its a clickbait!

[@CanerAcarbay]

That's correct. This is my educated guess as I mentioned in the video :)

[@CanerAcarbay]

I doubt this is 100% correct. Can you ask him to provide documentation with us :)

[@Alex-vm2ne]

Also this video left me reflecting deeply, especially as an Iranian and a Persian individual who resides in the West and works as a pilot for a US airline. Observing the progress Saudi Arabia is making in aviation is promising, yet it's hard not to feel a profound sadness. Looking back, Iran was a country that set benchmarks globally over 60 years ago. It's disheartening to see the contrast with countries like the Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Turkey. At that time, they hardly had proper airports, whereas Iran stood as a developed nation. The video is commendable, and I genuinely hope for Riyadh Air's success. However, it's impossible not to feel a deep sadness when considering the trajectory Iran had and how political decisions led to the current state. What a great country we had. Best regards, [Your Name] --- Feel free to let me know if you have further thoughts or if you'd like any adjustments.

A friend of a friend works at Emirates, he was offered a >$38k monthly plus many other benefits such as >$26k educational and accommodation if he joined Riyadh air and moved to Riyadh. I can't confirm this, because I can't imagine how possible they can make any profit paying such salaries.

[@ayushgarg8396]

they can make profits because for gulf countries cost of fuel is very very less as compared to all other airlines because they are the largest producer of oil themselves.

[@yb9426]

Very smart lay down of the situation. Thanks for sharing. CPT A320 LCC in Middle East here for 12 years. Everything you've said is correct. Let's see what happens

[@yousefalghareeb6226]

RIA won't make any of its claims(they will have a hard time in their 1st 10 years and might end up merging with Saudia), they indeed have 30 billion, to throw away, and the CEO is there for his retirement ( with a monthly 3 million SR ++ package), with only 5 years of experience with Etihad and NO success record at all, he never managed an airline before Etihad 🤔🤔🤔

[@SakethreddyChinthala]

Why don't you video about Qatar Airways pilot salary

[@CanerAcarbay]

I don't have know much about it. I need to study for this video first.

[@Alex-vm2ne]

Hi Caner, very nice video. I was captivated by your documentary on Riyadh Air, showcasing Saudi Arabia’s aspirations in aviation. It’s an exciting venture for them. However, it brought to mind the remarkable aviation history of Iran. Over 60 years ago, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi initiated the Iranian airline, setting global standards for safety and luxury. It’s disheartening to consider how political changes altered Iran’s trajectory, leaving it under sanctions. While I wish Riyadh Air success, it underscores the advanced progress of Iran and its people. It’s a reminder that the Iranian and Persian culture was ahead, and it’s sad to reflect on the interference that altered Iran’s trajectory. Best regards

[@scwappycoco]

Will you consider going back to Emirates as a DEC or Riyadh at some point or are you going to stay in Us

[@CanerAcarbay]

I want to retire in my current company. I don't have desire to go Middle East. Hopefully, I can finish my career in the US

[@BuddySpike23]

Great video Canar, Can you please make a video to guide fresh CPL holders how they can start their career in the Middle east who are not locals. thanks

[@toffonardi7037]

Middle East is only for experienced pilots not for new ones, unless you're local, but if you're local probablyyou don't want to be a pilot

whilst soccer players and golfers are happy to go to KSA for top dollar ... i wonder how hard it will be for Riyadh Air to attract large numbers of pilots for normal salaries ... when we keep hearing about the shortage of pilots.

[@toffonardi7037]

there isn't any shortage of pilots it's just a bullshit...only in the us pilots are required that's it, because until few years ago was considered a shitty job because it was

[@Adam-py6fz]

Caner, thank you for your video. As far as I know, commuting, as well as pilots salary, is pure speculation as there's been no data released by the company. Pilots are geting more more irritated. Personally, I applied in May last year and have not received anything except copy&paste blablabla. Up to now, it doesn't look very legit.

There are many Indian pilots within emirates. Get your ATPL. fly with one of the big airlines in India. Fly more than 2000 hours and start applying.

[@yosefelkony1511]

Because im not going to be joining a cadet program im going to be going to a random academy not made by the airline

[@toffonardi7037]

you need 2000 not 1000. if you want to be a pilot only to go to emirates it's better that you quit because majority of the pilots in the world DON'T WORK FOR EMIRATES

[@anime_addicted9]

Hey Caner great video again, can you do a video on how the visa or citizenship in the USA works and maybe the terms and conditions of it pls, it’s something I think a lot of people will be interested and also it may not last forever because I think the pilot shortage will eventually calm down there

[@jessiehan257]

Middle East countries low population, no labours That’s why provide high salary no tax, want you to stay in their countries. Population is powder. U earn in Saudi, Dubai, Doha and spend all your salary there.

[@teddykinyua5475]

Why did you leave out Etihad in the comparisons

[@hamadalmaisari7046]

Etihad captain make around 10 000 USD per month (specifically 35 000 AED you can convert that to your currency) First officer make about 9000$ per month (31 000 AED) With about 3640 USD per month *for accommodation* (160 000 AED per year for accommodation) You also get education allowance. For secondary school it's about 10 000 USD per child per year And for primary school it's about 15 000 USD per child per year

[@Voxfly320]

​@hamadalmaisari7046 so basically it's almost the same with emirates.

Hi , wish you had a great day. I've got questions that would be terrific if you read them I'm planing to take a part in emirates flight training (EFTA). As i'm persian( from iran) is there any possibility not to be employed. And, what percentage of students have succeeded to be employed. As you know thats a huge mount of money 😅 Thanks in advance❤

[@Johnathanwillams76]

Hi I’ve spoke to a lot of people in EFTA and the common theme is if you pass all the tests they will always hire you. However as you know they do say a job is not guaranteed so it’s still a risk but I wouldn’t be that worried I’m sure they could help you get a job somewhere. I’d be more worried on how you could afford it as it’s very expensive but if you can pay it the ROI is very good.
