Honest Opinion About Aramco Aviation

First of all, I believe you submitted a request for employment, not Aramco has kissed your hands to join them promising you red velvet carpet to welcome you aboard.

Secondly, the monthly payment you’re getting for joining Aramco is US$ 6,500 for first officer Dash8 up to US$8,500 monthly for B737 Captain plus $500 per diem on top of that. I believe such a pay rate is not matched back home in the main land.

The load of the work is significantly different from flying back in the main land whereby in Aramco, you’ll be back home at 11PM at most enjoying a day or two of rest. And, that work load is seconded with 3 weeks off every three quarters with a pay amount of US$2,500.

What you have posted is a mere personal problem that you wanted to blow it up somewhere to defame a place that you heartily wanted to remain in if just those problems you listed were resolved. Those problems are terrifically personal. When you arrived in Bahrain, you were escorted to the Embassy and all the way to your ready furnitured home (without a TV) for I don’t believe any employer will furnish TV or internet to the employees. But Aramco does provide free internet to its Pilots on full employment status; those who pass the evaluation period during the (Consultant) status. Hence, you’re one of those who didn’t make it and want to harm Aramco Aviation by defaming and confusing new applicants of the situation here. Additionally, transportation all over the world is limited between home and work, but you seem to want blonde drive with Bentley GT. I hope you’ll find such an employer.

In regards to Medical, the medical coverage is not provided unless it’s an emergency and it’s clearly stated and explained in the contract. So, wondering about that is really showing that you don’t have the basics English reading to comprehend a clear sentence in the contract.

Last, Aramco Aviation is FAA Part 91 approved and certified operator outside the USA with “N” registered Aircraft. Aramco Aviation is periodically self-auditing itself from fine organization such as “Flight Safety” and “R Dixon”. Aramco Aviation has transported in the year 2005, more than 365,000 people to/from their work locations to the Base Hub in King Fahad International airport. Aramco fleet is composed of 17 fixed wing aircraft and 21 helicopters and more than 56 years of history; such history has only two accidents, the rest was clean white slate of good performance, teamwork spirit, and faith in better tomorrow through action.
