"The private security firm formerly known as Blackwater" There's a Prince joke in there somewhere. | ||

Mostly the same company. I have a few friends that work/worked for them. Pay is good as well as bennies. Depends on where you are in the world too. | ||

Pay is excellent and in some cases tax free. If you don't mind dodging bullets/explosive devices for a living. | ||

A few folks where I work are/have jumping ship to go work in Iraq for Dynacorp who took over the contract after BW got kicked out of the country. Mostly flight mechanics but a few pilots also. Money for flight crews is VERY good. Crew Chiefs/Flight Mechanics are making around $160K and pilots are pulling down about $230K. 60 days on; 30 off. Not a bad gig. However........there is the sand in your crack and IED's, and of course, the always present no so friendly Mid-Eastern citizen.  |
