Freight DogsFinally a forum for those midnight prowler types who utilise the unglamorous parts of airports that many of us never get to see. Freight Dogs is for pilots and crew who operate mostly without SLF.
"...The American F/E running the show is a back-stabber brought from Focus Air, and sold his skin for some more coins of silver that will not last, as he is not a qualified individual for running the show..."
As an alumnus of Focus Air I know the above mentioned individual. You could not be more wrong. This man's integrity is beyond question. If you actually knew him you would be proud to number him among your friends. As far as his experience at running things goes, suffice it to say his life's experience is of the kind most of us buy books to read and dream about.
The B747 is up and running. Has completed three trips and flown over 100 hours.
More trips on the horizon. Great flying airplane with upgraded glass cockpit (FMS, GPS, EHSI, EADI). The extended period on the ground didn't seem to affect her too much.
I see we have another individual on the thread who likes to make negative comments on things he knows nothing about.
Yes, there is a need. The company is looking for ONLY current and qualified A300B4 Pilots. The company is adding more crews for the additional two aircraft that will be coming out of maintenance checks soon.
For the record, Midex Airlines has not fired or laidoff anyone and has no plans to in the future to do so. We have stopped hiring at the moment and may start recruiting in a month or so.
The B747 has just finished several charters for the Military and more to come. Also, more trips planned in the next couple of weeks. Still a great flying airplane and we have had no problems with her so far.
@ delta1234
as long as you're based in that cold snowy place which I think you are I wouldn't worry too much.
Very painfull for us being based in that less cold and snowy country , because imho more planes will go!
Thanks for reply about midex... I'll fish for some more info!
