Spinwing said it so much more eloquently than I did. Now for some more of my non eloquentness. The problem with the EMS contract in Saudi is not going to be the company you work for as they for the most part should be trying to help you get the job done. The problem is the the retards at SRCA and the country itself. The whole operation is a project of one of the princes. He gets nothing but good news from The SRCA management because it is filled with yes men. They are afraid to tell the truth. If you tell the truth you are silenced or fired. The operation would probably run a whole lot smoother if SRCA paid their bills. Any company going in with a bid better have a large cash reserve or get the money up front. They didn't pay DHL for so long that parts were being held up in customs for weeks. DHL was saying payup or you don't get the shipments. Its at the point now where the bases have to be manned even if there isn't an aircraft available at the base. If you don't man the base SRCA won't pay the bill. The entire program is all about optics and how good the princes project looks to the king. It has nothing to do with saving the lives of the citizens of Saudi. I spent a year of my life with good people trying to do a good job but in the end I had enough. The incompetence level at SRCA is just too high for me.
If you think I am a disgruntled employee, I am not. I just saw the contract going nowhere and decided to leave. If you have any specific questions then pm me.
