    Warning... I took your warning, as well as everyone elses. I also read everything I could find on the matter, then made as informed a decision as I could at the time based on available intel. There is no substitute for personal experience, however. Regardless, I stand by my decision to come...

    My opinion... I've been here since April 15th. Had I known then what I know now, I wouldn't have come.

    I sympathize entirely. It's a bugger of a situation. As I posted previously, there is plenty of blame to go around. Also, as I have beat this horse beyond recognition, I will just make these parting comments. I too was a residential contractor. I am familiar with the dynamic of which you...

    I know what my contract says, and we'll see tomorrow if it's true (payday). As I mentioned earlier, they are trying to change for the better.

    The pay can be more than 17k SAR monthly, up to almost double that figure (based on experience) Job responsibilities are just like being a paramedic anywhere, except you don't typically have as much to work with here (fewer drugs and equipment) My contract allows 30 days paid leave annually...

    1. Letter received after requested documents submitted to SRCA for review (after application submission). 2. Up to 15 as thats the top of the experience modification. 3. Doesn't matter, they want it. We don't have to understand it, it's their way. Many things will be this way, get used to it...

    It's an unfortunate circumstance. The money is here to make the changes, but still there is a lack of progress.

    Additional info for SRCA candidates The visa requirements I received from SRCA (attached) listed some things that I found after the fact were different, as listed: 1. Families do not come with the contractor initially, so don't waste time and money on getting the family physicals at this...

    Agreed (whole heartedly). Based on what I've seen and heard from the ground, a similarly operated flight service would likely be VERY short lived. There will have to be a vendor. The SRCA will have to learn and comply. As of right now, AA is the vendor, but we'll see if AA and SRCA can put the...

    Comments Yes, we have been warned. Yes, there is an ugly truth. No, SRCA isn't perfect. Some of us MAKE it a great time. We are too busy to be negative. We are not all lambs to the slaughter, as some would seem to believe. Some of us came here with middle eastern experience and knew what to...
