Red face Few lines about SAMA !

KeepWalking just says bull**** !!!!

1) The company isn't for sure the best to work for, but pays a decent salary (as long you stay away from the "commuting" contract).
2) Yes, the salaries use to delay ... but they are paid within the month
3) brazilians DO NOT rule the company. CEO and VP of operations are AMERICANS, chief pilot is Saudi (nice guy), HR is ran by saudis ...
4) there are quite a big number of brazilian pilots, however, this average is decreasing
5) the future of the company is cloudy: some say it's going to be sold, others say it's going to stay like this ... The CEO does not use to inform about his steps. That's really annoying ...
6) if you're willing to join, you'll see little support and respect from the management, however, the crews are great, so, when you close the aircraft's doors, the fun starts (and a flight can be pretty exciting with these old 737's)
7) they promise a lot of things: upgrades, new planes, better pay ... untill now, nothing. However, things are getting so ugly for the management that they have to do something about.

To summarize: this is a JOB. Come her, comply with your 2 years' contract, save some money and look for something else. If you're joining as a captain, you can save as much as U$ 150,000.00 in 2 years and if you're a FO, you'll have the opportunity to be upgraded faster than other companies around the planet (so far, around 15 were upgraded here).

I hope this helps to take any decision
