Considering their owners, I'm expecting this company to do well, quite possible at the expense of NASJets........ but apart from that, i dont know their terms or conditions, and yes they do have the aircraft.

I was interviewed by Alpha Star on the 20 April. Non a word since then. Does anyone else have the same experience ? Did anyone get the contact details of the ex-Lufthansa guy ? PM would be most welcome, thanks and all the best.

Assuming you got a job as a Flight Attendant, its poor for a non scheduled VIP operation and compares to what Air Atlanta are paying Flight Attendants.

But why, Mutt?

I`m asking because I used to work for them (ACMI, AT45) and I really thinking about (AT46 and, possibly, upgade to jet). In my opinion they doing well...

As about living conditions - compound shall be provided with no doubt, it is too hard to live in KSA outside one...

I'm sure that they will do very well, even following the recent death, however, the question was about a salary of SAR4500 per month with an annual housing allowance of 13,500....

Would you work for that sort of money as an expat?

Igel,

So the company is doing well....? They do have Airbus a319, 320 n 340. I am definately interested in getting the ratings for those planes. Mutt, maybe thats why the salary issue is slightly being ignored!! With sar7000 for starters until after 3 months probation then they up the salary, is that a bad deal?
