Well I cannot understand if this is all true than how they are able to keep ANY pilots at all. As far as specifics I didn't mean names I meant I wanted an example, like say so and so did a trip and had to pay for their own hotels, never got the money back, etc. There was one guy saying he hasn't been paid since Feb and it was July when he posted. I cannot understand why he would not quit back in March??

tomcat21, you said....
(There was one guy saying he hasn't been paid since Feb and it was July when he posted. I cannot understand why he would not quit back in March??)
That guy was me... is not that I was not paid since February, it was that I did quit in March and I did not get paid for February till the first week of August...there where a lot of alegations about me owing the company for this and for that...Not true!!
There is a cuple of friends working for them, and the stories are scary... once they get you to the point that they owe you a good amount of money, you will not leave .... why.... because you will not see you money ever again.... be careful..
How do they get to owe you ???? Some times you go on a trip and there is no float money for the plane, you will use your own to pay for the Hotel, food, transportation and some times even for the G.H.
Keep it safe.

Bexair- beware
Tomcat21- one word of advice, don't touch this company with a bargepole.
I am a highly experienced corporate flight attendant whom they employed recently to be their chief flight attendant. I did a runner after 2 weeks, I cant even begin to describe how disorganised and crap the whole deal was, and to this day never got paid my allowances and salary despite what they told me. My 6 foot 5 inch boyfriend even paid them a visit at their Bahrain office wanting to know where was my cheque.... which still to this day was never paid...moral of the story FORGET THEM They are a disaster zone!!

I would have went in there with an M-60 with a hell of a lot of clips! That is a disgrace. Yeah, I think my mind is made up now. Why would they due this? They offered me a deal to fly their Citation Bravo, I spoke to the owner and also this guy named Vincent. Seemed pretty nice so thats why when I read all this I was in shock. I mean how do they intend to keep anyone? Would love to hear how disorganized they were. Thanks alot.

Vincent still there.???
I am surprised he is still there...But perhaps they pay him on time.
Totally disorganised.
Do they have a fully approved AOC. YeT.
Anyone who touches them with a barge pole deserves help......

Yeah-to add to what Bumz_Rush says, Anyone who touches them with a bargepole needs a spell in a straight jacket!
Oh yeah they are very nice to you when they want you, then you'll get stuck awaiting your pay, I could see the writing on the wall, been in this game too long, and left. So after 2 weeks only I didnt lose out that much money. forget Vincent, he's useless. I was working on the challenger and the disorganisation unbelievable, wouldnt know where to start with the examples, was in downtown kuwait munching on a shawarma given like 20 mins to race back and check out of the hotel...which we did, thought i was gonna have heart attack i was running, then we go to airport, lead pax walked on the plane sat down, heard that we had to refuel on route to luton and stormed off, he'd been f***ed round once too often by bexair, so back we all trot to hotel. Then amidst all the flying we all have to do essay style reports on why it happended as the company lost $200k from this client cancelling, blah blah phone calls at all hours about it, big witchhunt. This was a typical working day there, and I was supposed to go in on my days off and reinvent menus.....all for measly salary of $1500 per month and $50/60 per day perdiems. I was led to believe I would be based in bahrain and not flying much, which suited as my boyfriend works 45 mins across border in BAE dhahran....then last I heard it was becoming moscow based? Thats when I said "Masalama habibi"!!
I've worked for saudi royalty, Middle eastern PMs, private familys in middle east etc, this experience put me off flying, I'd rather work in Mcdonalds or an abbatoir than Bexair!! DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!

They have new young ops director an ex gulf air captain. Admits to all previous failings and claims to be putting things right ! Told me they had a new investor. For your two months on you are ob the road with the plane and very rarely ever get to Bahrain. You would fly 80-90 hours a month (on overtime over 70 !!) - you need it. Might work for a single guy
