ARAMCO INFO NEEDED
 

DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY INFO ON THIS COMPANY LIKE BASE, PAY , INFO ?

ARabian AMerican oil CO

They are based on the East (Gulf) coast of Saudi. Now entirely Saudi-owned I believe, but used to be (still may be) one of the highest payers in these parts (that's in general, not specifically for aircrew)

I'm not sure but I think they operate mainly "biz-jet" equipment out of Dahran or their own fields.

Accomodation is likely to be in their own "mini-city" at Dahran which, in the days of American joint-ownership, used to be a "place apart" in Saudi (women driving, pig in the shops etc) but has gotten rather more Saudi-ised nowadays. Always used to be regarded as one of the best places to be for an Expat in Saudi. Due to their being the source of most of the country's income, they do not usualy suffer from the chronic "cash shortages" that have been a problem in the country at times.

Any Saudi-Aramco pilots out there reading who can give more specific info?

Flight Sims, very expensive toys - but real fun to play with!

Any Info on ARAMCO ?
 

Wanting to send application to Aramco Aviation and would like some names, addresses and general conditions, etc.

Please reply here or direct to email..
Thanks...

Check Aramcoservices.com which is very comprehensive. They are looking for 737 pilots at the moment. The ASC section has the pilot jobs and resumes go through Houston,(Texas). Good luck.

If you can't stand the heat...

then turn up the air conditioner !! :)

Randy_g,

I agree that Saudi Aramco is a big company....however they do not have deep pockets anymore. I just left the company a few months ago. Things have changed a lot.

Regards.

Hey ARISTOTLE?
Who are you?.......RO? AB? JN?

Aramco is OK, not much flying, good housing, good airplanes......But then there are other things......

ARAMCO
 

Hi everyone,

Check out:

http://www.Climbto350.com

ARAMCO has several current ads.

PS-How's it going Mutt?

Not bad at all DI3G, when are you guys coming back down this way?

Mutt.

Mutt,

Not sure, something may be cooking for July.

Last plane (not you know who's) was in such bad shape maint wise I think they're parting it out.

I heard the ultimatum has been laid down to you know who re: you know what, and the US Embassy in you know where (the Sr. Communications Director, to be exact)will handle the situation next week if you know what doesn't electroniclly go you know where by next Friday.

By the way, I have applied to ARAMCO. They apparently are looking for all sorts of fixed wing and rotary drivers. Is it for real, or are they just building a database?

Hope to see you soon.

DI3G,

You need to send me a code book for that message! :)

I really dont know about Aramco, they are advertising a lot, but dont appear to be increasing their fleet? Anyone else know whats going on in DHA?

If you are really interested in coming back this way, I would suggest applying to Netjets or MidEast Jets. MEJ are supposed to be getting a number of BBJ's.

All the best.

Mutt http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/mica/PNTSAce.gif

Lots of Aramco ads on the net these days, but I'm not sure if there are actually any new jobs!

It appears that the present crewing company have lost the contract, a couple of new companies are bidding for the replacement contract, hence the advertisements. I'm not sure if the present incumbents of the jobs will just remain with the new company.

Rgds.

Can anyone currently working for Aramco as a Captain on the 737 disclose how much $$$$$ they take home. Thanks, it makes the world go around. I presume accomodation etc. is provided FOC.

ARAMCO is back on 350 again today looking for fixed wing pilots.

They must be building a data base because they don't seem to be hiring anyone.

Aramco
 

Hi Folks,

Do you guys know which and how many aircrafts are operated by ARAMCO, how many pilots are they employing and what are the experience requirements to be apply??

Thanks

Changed to..... www.jobsataramco.com

They also advertise on www.climbto350.com whenever its required.

I guess that i will go the full 9 yards and save you the bother of checking the website..... they are only advertising for this position.

aviation

Identical job titles may have different experience requirements.
Please review each job title in your area of expertise.

Sr. Spec. A&P Technician



Mutt.

Thanks,

but impossible to connect to their web site, the access is restrected (a password is required)...........

So, anybody with some informations or these compay is totally unknown???:D

Good company from what i've heard they pay well if your an ex pat and have some good hardwear to cruise about in with the only downer being most of the flying is within kingdom. They also employ from all corners of the world. I tryed to go through Aramco in the states and had no joy so called them in Dammam and had much better luck. Don't have the number with me, sorry. They have a new C.P these days and he's a local but a very nice guy.

need an faa atp, with some experience in at least one of their types, dhc-8, dhc-6, b737NG, g-4, hs 125, and turbine ag-plane, (tailwheel time)....without 4-year degree..you can get hired as "consultant" many nationalities employed.....all the above subject to change

Need info on Saudi Aramco...
 

Anyone got inside info on the company? What' it like to fly for them? Facilities, etc....
Also, what is the current mood or climate considering Bush Jr. ramblings about Iraq? Thanks for the info folks!

tropicopter
 

Thanks for the PM regarding this. I'll PM the dude you recommeded and get the info. Yes, I'm mostly r.w., but am rated in all classes of airplanes too. The job is for the r.w. though.

I strongly recommend against it
 

Don't do it. You will be sorry. You cannot consider it a career move. The money is compelling, but it will not make up for the sacrifices and isolation and racism and restrictions and dirtiness and disappointment and desperation and frustration and unhappiness that would soon take over your life. Read each of those words again and think about them. The company is a total mess, none of the pilot-type professional lifestyle perks exist, and still it's getting worse every week. Don't do it for any price. It will ruin your life more than you can imagine. No hesitation: Just say no.

Fructose,

Is that based on personal experience or hearsay?

I have a number of ex-colleagues flying there who actually enjoy the job.

Mutt.

Think it depends a lot on if you are a "consultant" (two year contractor) or a full time employee (university degree required)....have friends on both sides...two very different situations...but both are content.

I too have several friends there employed as 'consultants' and they say their deal sucks compared with what the permanent guys get, despite the fact that the 'consultants' do all the flying and the permanents do all the golfing.
The money as a 'consultant' is not that wonderful and if that's what you've been offered you'd get around the same pay, better flying and a much better quality of life with either Gulf Helicopters or Abu Dhabi Aviation. Several guys who left the Emirates returned after only a short time with Saudi Aramco.

Saudi Aramco
 

Has anybody here worked/currently work as a pilot for Saudi Aramco?

Was lured there on a "Consultant" contract.....not there anymore.

Saudi Aramco
 

Does anyone have any insight into the aviation division of Saudi Aramco? Especially the cabin services aspect ie. how many crew currently in Saudi?, key cabin services personnel, opportunities etc.

Feel free to PM me and thanks in advance,


Regards,

C3000

No one with some info?

Throw me a bone here!

Saudi Aramco
 

Hi c3000

Best thing to do is ring the recruitment department direct and ask to speak to a Mr Gerry Fitzgerald he will be able to tell you if there are any opportunities going. You can go to the website however the employment section is still under construction.

All the aircraft are 737 and basically used for all the head honchos over there. Hope this helps.

Mickoa

Are you sure??? Always thought that the DC8 and Gulfstreams were for the "head honchos", the B737's are in a normal passenger configuration and operate a shuttle service around Saudi for employees.

c3000, if by cabin services your are talking about working down the back, i think that you would be better off looking at their VIP operations and not the B737's. Different contract and i believe totally different benefit packages..


Mutt.

Who to ctc in Aramco
 

Whom to ctc in saudiAramco for a position as F/O??

Anyone?

/Flap Sup

Saudi Aramco - pay & conditions?
 

Gidday all

Can anyone enlighten me on the pay package, t&c's at Saudi Aramco?

Would also be interested in anyone's opinion on how secure the jobs are, and what the general feeling is towards expats in the current political climate ... chances of making it out alive and all that?

[edited to say, this is a query about fixed wing flying not rotary, I believe they're looking for DHC8 and B737 crew at present]
