Cool Aramco

Sob,

they are operating out of Tanajib, NE Saudi Arabia, about 100 mls south of the Kuwait border, and Ras Tanura, further south.
Tanajib is the place where all pilots start working.
It's a very professional operation, good housing (you have your own small appartment for the time of contract, SAT, DSL), good equipment (A109E, B212/412, 214ST), good pay, not a tight scedule, excellent training, but you live in an isolated compound with no beer and no girls, thats the sad part.
If you can stand that and like flying offshore in sometimes harsh conditions temperature wise, its a good place, the best place to save money!!
As an aramcon you definatly have decent benefits but you live here besides your yearly vac.
Not everybodys dream!
They just hired a bunch of pilots, so they are not looking desperatly for pilots right now.

hope that helps

RB
