If any one is thinking of joining this operation perhaps think twice.
They sell it well but the reality does not match the fiction.
Operation is chaotic at best. Many cancelled flights due to low or zero pax loads.
Few spares and many faults. One of the 3 Aircraft has had no working APU in over 4 months!!
Accommodation is not as per contract i.e. You must share and there is no privacy! Riyad compound is some 1 hours drive to airport and journey does not count as duty time. Very remote location and expensive to get into city. Jeddah compound some 30 minutes from airport but quite noisy but with more local facilities i.e. a mall very close by.
Travel home is not business class and often is standby travel with the cheapest possible way home!
The salary is well below the average for the region.
The one positive thing if you opt for it is the 20 on 10 off Roster, but it will cost you 1/3rd salary reduction.
