But I do agree with you, I had 10 excellent years in Jeddah. We had a great time and the Jeddah Saudis were great. I cannot say the same for Riyadh.
For anyone thinking of working in KSA, if it’s Jeddah based go for it, you and your family will really enjoy living there. On the other hand, if it’s Riyadh based, look elsewhere - even Kabul or Mogadishu would be better.
Im staying to turn off the lights in SVC.
Riyadh has changed dramatically over the last 5 years, you wouldn’t recognise the place nor the people and it’s definitely better than Kabul or Mogadishu.
As for $30,000 a month salaries, keep dreaming as it’s never gonna happen. They have their initial source of pilots from SVA, especially as they are no longer considered Government employees for their pensions.
