Is this, or is this not, a repost of that job Storm was contracting for in Saudi Arabia that was just about universally shouted down as somewhere between a bait-and-switch and a full-on scam? If anybody has any intel on this one, please let us know.

IF for SaudiArabian, be well aware that the 'commuting contract' may well include a non-positive space-available airline transportation out of Saudi (on an ACM...additional crew member, listed on the Gen Dec, basis)...and can be withdrawn at the companies convenience.

And yes, has been (withdrawn at the companies convenience) in the more recent past.
Beware.
SaudiArabian can be a reasonable airline to work (and big bucks, depending)for, however...make SURE the commuting contract specifies positive space air transport...out, and return.

It isn't for Saudia. No hiring onto the EMB for expats currently.

It does look like the old NAS contract that was changed over a year ago. They don't offer 6/3 anymore.
