Thats what I have always seen but he says they will hire americans and since they don't have a big pool of qualified pilots in Egypt they take people with hours like me but they require you to stay 7 years.

To the above post. I posted this to get more than one opinion on the topic other than his. He doesn't work for them yet so he has no idea how their pay scale works. Figured I might find someone on here who works for them that would know exactly.

Lived in Saudi Arabia. Cairo was awesome to visit each year that I went. It was also a blast to take the boat tour "up" the Nile to Aswan.

I actually know to guys that are Egyptian nationals starting ground school for 737 types in August. They told me that you need to be a national and able to speak their language.
