Aramco or Netjets ME
Have been offered a position at Aramco for a 2yr contract. Have an interview coming up at NAS. Okay, can anyone tell me if they had the choice which is better, The Aramco position sounds more stable but its 10weeks on 3weeks off. Thats alot of time to be in KSA. NAS is 35on 31off. Now just wondering if they pay during your 31off as aramco doesnt pay during your 3 weeks off. Any suggestions?

NAS Beware!!!!!
Think before you come to NAS!!!!......This is a totally disorganised operation. Firstly the hotel you stay in for 5 weeks is well below standard!!...and I mean you will be sitting here for 5 weeks doing diddly squat!!....you never fly!!.....they are stingy with the money and it sometimes takes months on 50us a day before you are checked to line!!.....they lie through there teeth about everything!!.....this is just a few issues, take my advice STAY CLEAR!!!!.......remember you will be in KSA !!!!!......

The last time I conversed with the boys from Netjets ME, they were extremely busy, and the hotel in JED seemed OK to me.
Are you sure you work for the same outfit? Nobody sitting around for long that I heard, and I seem to cross paths with them far and wide.

NAS!!
Hi Amf, I think you might be confused between Netjets Jeddah and NAS Riyadh(BBJ,G300,A319 operation. The netjets operation is totally different to Riyadh, different contracts etc. Yes the netjets crew work hard and are always away, but here in Riyadh different story.The A319 crew have ben set up by NAS for a First Class only airline in its infancy at the moment, whereas the BBJ/G300 crew are conducting VIP ops for the Ministry of finance, here Nas are managing the A/C for the Ministry.....and crazy max when you do eventually get to leave the kingdom once in a blue moon the accomadation is very good, but when you are stuck in Riyadh in a 3rd rate hotel with minimal flying for 5 weeks its not fun!!!!!

Gotcha Capt. K.
I see the original poster asked about "NAS" in his question, but entitled the thread "Aramaco or Netjets ME". Therein lies the confusion methinks....I was thinking of the guys in JED/Netjets(which is part of NAS?), not Riyadh/NAS.
It might be helpful to the original poster if he could clear up which base he means since there seems to be quite a difference in ops frequency and accomadation between the two? It might effect his decision.
Can't speak of the pay at either however, none of my biz to ask them when I see them. Besides, we all know the answer anyway....we all want and deserve more!
