EK or SV
i totally agree with polax. Get to 2.000H and then come for SV as a skipper.
Pros and cons.
1)Salary. SV by far the best salary in the region. And cost of living in JED much lower than DXB. After the first 3 years of your contract you ll see the difference in your savings
2) even SV is a huge company u will not feel as a number. The company is being running by locals. If you get used to them and realise their culture and their habits then you ll be a happy customer. On the other hand if you dont do that then you got yourself into trouble
3) very good coverage package for schools (even abroad) health issues etc
Cons
1) lifestyle.Zero absolute nothing . If u have a family ,it might be hard for them to leave 30 days/month in a compound with limited things to do.
2) Training.its a long process. Things are a bit relaxed in the last 5-6 months but still lots of exams in each part of the training
3) as a captain on the 320 u will fly a lot. And most of the times u will be on a 3-4 day string away from JED with lay overs in RUH or elsewhere in the Kingdom.only 4-5 lay overs away from the Kingdom.
