"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.
