Saudi Aramco

Helicopter Pilot

3 year ago
Aramco is a great corporate regardless the the major cultural and environmental differences. They pay very well, but will make sure that you earn every penny. The operation manager is young and respectful. Flying wise, the operation is a lot of fun and mostly offshore. You will be flying an average of 7 hours/ day 4/3. Citizens are very nice people and will treat you very good.

However, the helicopter chief pilot is very authoritarian and been in that position forever. You will always feel threatened by him firing you. He can easily bend the corporate system to do so. If you pitch any idea to him, he rejects it. Weeks later he presents your idea and takes the credit. His method is to "own you" first and then make you his follower in training or safety office to so he can claim your works and ideas.
