I have recently been in Saudi flying for a private heavy. Capt.= $7,500, F/O, F/E $5,000.. .(to fly 20/25 Hrs month, oops, that's a big month). .As stated by some else, they changed the contract one month after starting!! Needless to say, I am now looking for other work!! . .Most people out there are getting $4500/7500/Mth (For 737/727 VIP) Per Diems are now running about $100 per day, not bad considering that you can live on $10 per day!! . .(If you don't mind eating where the locals go!!). .The hotel meals will cost you about between 50 and 75 per day!!. .Regards
