No, to gain more exposure, experience,see the rest of the world which I haven't seen and obviously save money.

Regarding the downsides of my present job.....There still more to it... Example roster plan for 3 days and changes it that too...lol.
Being few hundred Kms away from my parents I'm not able to visit them in say 3 months. I can do that easily being in ME.

I have eliminated EK. Can't take a risk of 5 year bond. Tell me more about EKs neighbour, QR n SV

It may not be green and all that rosy but Im sure it's better than what I'm doing now.
Besides I can always get back to what I'm doing in future if I don't like it.

And apparently the ability to use punctuation is optional.......

Who cares? Is this a site about flying or an online lesson on punctuation?

I personally find it a bit hard to believe Saudia pays 19K a month for a T7 captain. That's quite a disparity between all other ME carriers.

Is this on paper somewhere eg, a contract?

I believe that they will also be the first ME airline to offer this.....

Are you willing to move to RUH as HOME BASE and having lines with 20 Days ON (Flight Duties) and 10 Days OFF ? *
But obviously with 10 days off, the salaries mentioned above wont be reached.

Found this using google https://ptisidiastima.files.wordpres...i-airlines.pdf

It seems a long way from 19000us $... Is there a new contract out?

There is an unwritten rule that people won't publish the exact rates or details, but focus on item #7.

I care, for example. It's difficult to read.

I agree with Romasik. That long run-on sentence is SUPER ANNOYING.

The numbers are real. I personally know people that work there and I can assure you that the numbers are quite real. I also know that the A320 skippers make the most over there with salaries that can exceed 20k if its a busy month.

However, A320 in SV carries out the most hectic work of the regional network.

CRM in the cockpit would be way better in EK then in SV, which is most important for any FO as at the end of your flight if you go home demoralised and demotivated by your Capt you wouldn't care how much you earn. Relaxed cockpit atmosphere is a must for any pilot to perform. Any pointers on how is the cockpit atmosphere in SV?

I don't see EK salaries being discussed. Why do we have to discuss SV salaries.

The basic salary is public knowledge.
