Although Saudi Arabia has undergone many changes since 2010, Riyadh remains an unpopular place to live, even among Saudis - just look at Saudia and JED.
This lends credence to the 14/14 roster, and if true would be the only way for most foreigners to seriously consider making the move RIA.
This (maybe fantasy) 14/14 roster. Who are you planning to commute with? I doubt from Day 1, RIA is going to have lots of destinations to let you go happily home every 14 days. So will that mean buying your own tickets on other airlines to get home? I have no idea, just throwing the question into the ring.
