Sad that we continue to get these non constructive comments on the thread from people who don't work at Midex Airlines.

Mr. Saboor left the company due to differences with the owner of the airline. He's working at Orex now if you'd like to comment on their thread.

B747 Operational

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.

A300

I see another advert on Climbto350 for A300 crewmembers. Is there still a need at Midex for these folks?

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.

Cargo Turndown

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.

B747 Flying

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!

LION 01 - Seems you and Earl are the only ones not talking total shiit on this thread. (apologies to other non-shiit talkers not mentioned)

Perhaps you can confirm a rumour heard in Bournemouth that the first B744, and perhaps the 2d, will be activated end of March. If so, Midex will obviously need to requal the current Classic crews rather sharpish.

Are there any plans to hire new Classic guys? I assume the UAE frowns on maintaining currency on 2 different types concurrently.

It is my understanding that the -400's are delay until the economy improves. So, the airlines is not recruiting for the 747 fleet at this time. We are starting to pick up more flights and business is improving. I will put a post out when it looks like we will be hiring again.

I wish there was better news but look at the rest on the industry.
