I wondered about this! Did this soon to be 60 Captain with 30+ years with Saudia consider the chance of loosing the amount of his final check to stay and fly Jed Ruh Jed. For the airline, they really get a great deal. Here's an employee at maximum contractor pay, no more raises and will want to stay and fly for 5 more years doing eastbounds only. Wow! If I was a Chief Pilot, I would sign him up at once.
He was here when the GOSI pension was lost by the stroke of a pen. I wonder is he will be "awash with the same joy" if his contract money is depleated...some food for thought
