Saudi Aramco

I will give you the information for Saudi Aramco as a contract pilot.
Starting pay for a contract pilot on an 8 week on / 4 week off matrix is USD $7009 per month. You will receive 12 paychecks per year. In other words, you do get paid for your time off.
The position is as a SIC in the BH-212/412. There is a possibility to upgrade to PIC in either the A-109E or BH-212/412, but that is based on the needs of the company. I have seen the upgrade process take years and then again it could be months.
If you do get upgraded to PIC in either aircraft, you will receive an uplift of $750 per month.
We are just starting a 6 week on / 6 week off program and the salary will be 20% less.
We will also give the pilot $2100 per break for his airfare. We do not care where he goes. No receipt required.
Currently we do not have any openings but you can PM me if you would like to be considered in the future.
