Looking at the ad I wonder where is my
Annual productivity bonus??
10 "king days" that due to lack of crew didnt give this year and saudis got paid 6 months ago and expats still waiting for the money
School allowance i believe is around 28000 rials per child and the amount doesnt cover the fees of some international schools
They also fail to mention that to get your ACM tkt you need to run around the office collecting this stupid stamps and signatures and make sure you are listed on the flight as crew otherwise you still dont get on
Very interesting about the free membership on saudia sports club, It is ONLY for men and you still have to pay an anual fee
Free accomodation, well if you dont mind leaking roof when rain ( lucky only3 times a year), electricity plugs not grounded, blowing a/c, cheap furniture and the list can go on....
About the compound facilities I am not going to even mention it, I heard on the 70's was the best, and thats it ,they havent cleaned it or improved it since then so imagine the swimming pool, parks and play area. They also seem to love to leave the water running for the grass areas and flood them so nobody can use them for weeks.
The medical center is a joke, most expats go back to their country for real treatments.
By the way, your contract pay might be change for worst at anytime, despite you having a sign contract, and your promise 6 days off in a row turn out to be 5 or less, just cause they need you.
Also your 30 days holidays have to be taken all in a row cause they cant work out their very expensive system to split them through the year
The money is ok, but you really have to work overtime to be really good, tax free but i believe some of the comuting americans still have to pay some tax back in their countries, money is not enough for the livestyle of this country,
If you planning to bring your familly you wont see them much, jeddah is the base but most of the time you find yourself away for 3-4 days, back for 1 and away again, you can be landing at 11am and reporting for night fly same day at 11pm. If you planning to comute usually the promise days off in a row never happen.
If you dont mind any of this, and you are really desperate for a job, come here, but dont complain after
Most expats are already looking for the way out...
Happy landings
