(commuting contract is on the way)
good luck & fly safe

Few lines about SAMA !
KeepWalking just says bull**** !!!!
1) The company isn't for sure the best to work for, but pays a decent salary (as long you stay away from the "commuting" contract).
2) Yes, the salaries use to delay ... but they are paid within the month
3) brazilians DO NOT rule the company. CEO
and VP of operations 
are AMERICANS, chief pilot is Saudi (nice guy), HR is ran by saudis ...
4) there are quite a big number of brazilian pilots, however, this average is decreasing
5) the future of the company is cloudy: some say it's going to be sold, others say it's going to stay like this ... The CEO does not use to inform about his steps. That's really annoying ...
6) if you're willing to join, you'll see little support and respect from the management, however, the crews are great, so, when you close the aircraft's doors, the fun starts (and a flight can be pretty exciting with these old 737's)
7) they promise a lot of things: upgrades, new planes, better pay ... untill now, nothing. However, things are getting so ugly for the management that they have to do something about.
To summarize: this is a JOB. Come her, comply with your 2 years' contract, save some money and look for something else. If you're joining as a captain, you can save as much as U$ 150,000.00 in 2 years and if you're a FO, you'll have the opportunity to be upgraded faster than other companies around the planet (so far, around 15 were upgraded here).
I hope this helps to take any decision

Take your chances, but be aware, and i can't agree with goose "on the things are getting to bad for management that they have to do something"; they are here for quite a while and the only things you can see are worse and worst, new contract is a bad joke.

dear prophet,
I heard this "sh_t-hole" would give a guy the 2nd (.. or even the 3rd)
up-grade opportunity ? is that correct ?
wow .. that's a luxury to me.

it happened before, i think a guy has to go to the end of the line to have another chance, the biggest problem is survival. I know you and for sure you deserve the chance, you are a great pilot.

Hi 'D',
my point is to clarify that this horrible company at the same time gives "luxury" in term of command upgrade,right?
In my place ( and many other places) is only once !
Something must be special 
and don't worry about me (thanks anyway), I got my chance some 12 years ago.

good luck with the FD (but the call sign is SD ? nice livery), agree 100% with :
and
may I add:" OR STEP OUT!"
rather than bashing it all the time but ... no place to go
There is no perfect air carrier
if you do not have anything good to say or add, keep quiet
